A Minor Addict

It doesn't take long before Shelley moves on to heavier substances. This brings her into trouble with her parents as well as in school Her troublesome behaviour and running away from home, as well as her neglective attitude towards her employers costs her dearly. She becomes so dependant on Nyaupe that it drives her to the brink of self-destruction. With the help of her parents she manages to crawl from the pits of Hellfor a while, just to relapse again and carry on with her olw way of living.

Born on 12 April 1964. Enlisted in the Army in 1983 for two years as Operational Medic. Married my wife in December 1988, and moved back to my birth town, a small mining town in South Africa. My wife and I are blessed with two children; a son and a daughter. I have been writing since primary school and have always been an avid reader. My love for literature grew as I became older, as did my love for writing. It was only later in my life that the decision to submit one of my plenty manuscripts for a review that I'd written over the years. I submitted to SBPRS in Houston, Texas. Their response was quick, and a couple of months later I was standing with the first Print Proof Copy of my book. I have a keen interest in the American Wild West. This drives me to write Westerns, which is my favorite genre.

I've always been passionate about writing. Apart from writing, I also do Editing, Proofreading, and Formatting of text before and/after submission of manuscripts to publishing houses at a relatively low cost to the Author. Two of my favorite pastimes when I'm not writing, is doing oil painting and pencil sketching, Wildlife being my favorite genre.
