A Thought of our Father / Grandfather

Yesterday, 8 November 2014 was the English date that marked the first year after the passing of our beloved father and grandfather, Prof. Vincent Louis Granger. It has been a difficult year without him. He lived a good, full and productive life and was an important part of our lives. Though he is no longer with us, he lives on through the many varied and important lessons that he taught us and a wealth of wonderful memories.

In the last few weeks of his life, he read half or more of the new book "Relationships" which was almost ready for publication. Sadly, his health made it difficult to complete reading the book so we will never know his thoughts of the full story. It is heart warming to know though, that he enjoyed what he read and wished us every success in this book. We hope that you, the readers, will enjoy the book as much as we have enjoyed bringing it to the final product and will let your friends know about it too.

We're back

Have you ever read the book "Where's Wally?" It's a fun children's picture book with all kinds of scenes of lots of people and you have to find the missing Wally.

You might be wondering to yourself, what happened to this blog? Where is our author? Why have there been no updates?

Well, Rosemary's Book Corner is still happening, it just took a vacation. Our lovely author has recently returned from a trip to Australia. While she was there, a favourite place to visit was the library. The library has regular book talks, reviews, tea morning for pensioners. Sounds like a special place to spend some quiet time.

We are excited to say that 3 libraries in Australia have shown interest in her teenage novel, Relationships. There are a few schools in Cape Town who have also shown interest in this lovely book for their library. Interestingly, the libraries don’t seem to have a budget. If you would like to sponsor this book going into one of these libraries, either in Australia or Cape Town, South Africa, do be in touch.
