quote
“Our talent for division, for seeing the parts, is of staggering importance – second only to our capacity to transcend it, in order to see the whole. These gifts of the left hemisphere have helped us achieve nothing less than civilisation itself, with all that that means. Even if we could abandon them, which of course we can't, we would be fools to do so, and would come off infinitely the poorer. There are siren voices that call us to do exactly that, certainly to abandon clarity and precision (which, in any case, importantly depend on both hemispheres), and I want to emphasise that I am passionately opposed to them. We need the ability to make fine discriminations, and to use reason appropriately. But these contributions need to be made in the service of something else, that only the right hemisphere can bring. Alone they are destructive. And right now they may be bringing us close to forfeiting the civilisation they helped to create.”

| The book begins slowly and I toyed with the thought of putting it aside. However, it simply needed to be read with more time to digest its historical aspects. The second half of the novel is wonderful and really gets into what formed the narrator. I ...more | |

“Others imply that they know what it is like to be depressed because they have gone through a divorce, lost a job, or broken up with someone. But these experiences carry with them feelings. Depression, instead, is flat, hollow, and unendurable. It is also tiresome. People cannot abide being around you when you are depressed. They might think that they ought to, and they might even try, but you know and they know that you are tedious beyond belief: you are irritable and paranoid and humorless and lifeless and critical and demanding and no reassurance is ever enough. You're frightened, and you're frightening, and you're "not at all like yourself but will be soon," but you know you won't.”

“Love is the will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth... Love is as love does. Love is an act of will -- namely, both an intention and an action. Will also implies choice. We do not have to love. We choose to love.”

“The only two approaches to dealing with uncertainty are design and default. When you operate by default, your biology, which is wired for comfort, wins out and you almost always end up squarely in the gray zone.”

I'm halfway through writing my new novel and to celebrate I'm giving away a free romance from my Kindle backlist:http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27...
I've posted a video on my GoodReads profile page about my novel "Jozi Gold", but it's also an insight into the themes I explore in fiction and my motivation for writing. Please take a look and share if it resonates with you.
Special announcement: My new book, "The Unravelling of Ingrid Steele" is free on Kindle till Friday 27 November. Get it now if you like women's fiction! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B018CCHJFQ
I'm happy to let you know that my new novel, Blind Walls Bleeding, is now out in ebook format through Amazon, Kobo, Nook, Ibooks and Scribd. Blind Walls Bleeding is the first book in a series entitled The Case Files of Cara Merton, Rehabilitation Specialist, and follows the gripping story of a therapist and her client who fall in love with the same man in a strange boarding-house in Johannesburg. It's an intriguing novel about sight and blindness, generosity and jealousy, reason and madness.
Hi everyone! Just to let you know that the Kindle version of my novel Jozi Gold is on promotion at Amazon UK from Monday 10 August to Saturday 15 August. Jozi Gold is a contemporary women's fiction novel about a suburban housewife's rediscovery of self through marital breakdown. Set in south Africa against the backdrop of the 2010 Soccer World Cup. Enjoy!
