Indie Writers Rise Up!

Dr Annelie Rabie, academic and former mayor of Hermanus, Overstrand, chats with Hennie Greeff about his adventures overseas as a tunnel engineer. He and Annabelle lived and worked for twenty years in remote, even dangerous areas. Places where few people ever go. Some that people have never even heard of. His book, Memoirs of a Gatkruiper and Adventures of a Tunnel Rat, is an adventure-filled travel story that takes us inside active volcanoes and lets us eat Piranhas in the Peruvian Amazon. Come discover what Toraja is known for. Visit the world's tenth best snorkeling spot. And there's the food and culture too! See you there! Dr Annelie Rabie also chats with Stefan Schutte about his journey from accountant to independent writer and publisher. His novels, The Last Jukebox Heroes and Klankbaan, weave together music, human relationships and the stories we carry with us. Stefan tells how an idea develops into a book, the challenges of self-publishing, and how Afrikaans and English stories sometimes share the same heartbeat. From the West Coast to bars full of characters, songs and secrets - come listen to the stories behind the stories, and discover how books make their own journey from manuscript to reader. Tickets include a complimentary glass of Poetry wine for guests over 18. Lunches will be for sale at the Imibala Cafe during lunch break.
