IT BEGAN WITH A WORD

… and then another until, eventually, after toiling and many a troubling night, a story was born. Then another. Through bleeding fingertips and sweating palms, tossing and churning, the author was born. Anike Kirsten occupies a little plot in the dead centre of South Africa with her spawns and spouse, cat, and spiders.

She is an amateur scientist and artist who also enjoys exploring the possibilities, as well as the improbabilities, within her stories. Fragments of her imagination have been scattered across to Nature: Futures, Avescope, and other fine publications.

“Today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups... So I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing.”
― Philip K. Dick
