Die Sterkapel
When history student Andrew Buchanan arrives at Stellenbosch University, he expects lectures, oak-lined streets, and vineyard views. Instead, he hears whispers of a curse: a pattern of student deaths dismissed as accidents. Teaming up with fellow outsider Linda Knight, he uncovers a chilling truth. Each death forms a point on a five-pointed star etched over the town, its center a secret society centuries old: Die Sterkapel. Its final point now targets Andrew. To survive, he must infiltrate the Bible group of Deon Fourie, a charismatic preacher whose faith masks a predatory hunger for power. As friends turn up dead and the police look away, Andrew realizes the conspiracy is alive, protected by wealth and faith, and willing to kill again. To escape the star, he must expose it, even if it costs him everything.
Unhinged
Marco Ferrari, a South African of Italian descent, finds himself alone after his divorce. Chasing connection through a dating app, he stumbles into a string of surreal encounters: women who fascinate, unsettle, and delight him in turn. Beneath the comedy, Marco confronts deeper truths. A friend's death jolts him toward reflection on mortality, and the discovery that he fathered a son years earlier forces him to reckon with guilt and privilege. Julia, a lifelong friend and sometime lover, remains his anchor through it all. The story moves between Cape Town's elite circles, the Tankwa desert, and cities across Europe and Russia, tracing Marco's search for love and meaning. Funny, tender, and philosophical, Unhinged follows a man dismantling his illusions in midlife and learning that happiness comes not from possession, but from presence.
The Road to Kang
In the silence of the Kalahari, the past begins to speak. Alone on his motorbike, Max rides into the vast emptiness of the desert, chasing freedom, or perhaps running from something he can’t quite name. But when a brutal crash leaves him stranded and broken, the boundary between life and death begins to blur. As the searing sun gives way to the cold grip of night, long-buried memories rise like mirages from the sand. In this haunted no-man’s-land, time unravels, and Max is forced to face the shadows he’s spent a lifetime outrunning. What begins as an adventure becomes a reckoning, a poetic descent into the soul’s most hidden chambers, where survival means more than just staying alive.
