"I was working illegally in a job I was terrible at, living on the floors of my friends’ houses, moving in and out every week or so. Before that I remember thinking I couldn’t ever be a real writer or at least not for long." Read my piece for the @caineprize blog.

Thank you so much for your patience! You can now read my full review of the most recent Lite Reads selection, The Sack by Namwali Serpell, link below (or through my blog in the bio). This grim story is brilliantly written in a way that few stories are, playing with style and form, and offering up a disturbing tale with many facts absent. Overall a story that left me thinking. Let me know in the comments what you thought of this one! New selection will be available shortly. https://wp.me/p9KSXu-zU #litereads #shortstory #shortstoryclub #shortstories #caineprize #caineprize2015 #reading #zambianliterature https://www.instagram.com/p/CDID37BgYzy/?igshid=uq90hqvecnmq

Hemel en Aarde valley, March 2012, South Africa, Volmoed, Western Cape #photography #westerncape #southafrica #heaven #earth #spiritual #caineprize #africa #documentaryphotography #documentary #landscape #nature #estates #wine #volmoed It’s a picture of the valley of Hemel en Aarde (heaven and earth valley), in Volmoed, the Western Cape, South Africa, March 2012. I took the picture on top of the surrounding mountains. Hemel en Aarde is where heaven and earth meets. When inside this valley you are surrounded by the mountains so you don’t see the outside, only the earth and the skies (heaven). When heaven and earth meets it is heavenly, the place is heavenly. It is a spiritual centre. People come from all over the world to this place for spiritual regeneration, to deal with issues, to find themselves, to heal. It’s when we can connect with life on earth and life in heaven when we can really connect to our truer selves. *First published by inquire, later published by Deyu Africa, also in the anthology This is the place I know
