My Romances as Ebooks!!

Two of the romances I wrote for South African publisher, Sapphire Press, are now available as ebooks. Do you have a Kindle? Why not give them a read?

Buy Kwaito Love HERE!

And buy Mr Not Quite Good Enough HERE.

I'm slowly slowly moving into the digital age. Watch out- my short story collection, In the Spirit of McPhineas Lata and Other Stories will soon be out as an ebook with HopeRoad-London. I'll keep you posted.

Lauri said...: Judy- I think in Southern Africa ebooks haven't really taken off yet but the good thing is that my ebooks will be out there waiting for when they do. And of course it makes it much easier for people outside of Botswana and South Africa to buy the books.

Thanks Selma.

My Writing Successes

I have numerous published books, including three books from my Kate Gomolemo Detective series; The Fatal Payout (Macmillan 2005) , Murder for Profit (Pentagon 2008) and Anything for Money (Vivlia 2010). My children's book Mmele and the Magic Bones (Pentagon 2008) was short-listed for the African Writers Prize (UK) and has since been chosen as a set book for all primary schools in Botswana.

My book The Fatal Payout is a set work for all junior secondary school students in Botswana. Two of my books The Second Worst Thing (Oxford University Press) and The Curse of the Gold Coins (Vivlia) are CAPS approved in South African schoold for grade 7.

My short stories have won numerous prizes including first prize in the 2007 BTA/AngloPlatinum Short Story Contest, and twice winning highly commended in the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association Short Story Contest. I won the Golden Baobab Prize in both 2009 and 2010, first in the junior section and the following year the senior section. My stories can be found on four continents; online, in print literary and popular magazines, and in anthologies.

In 2005, I was among three writers short-listed for our national, biannual prize for creative writing the Orange/Botswerere Prize. In 2007, I took first position for the same prize. In 2011 I was short-listed for The Caine Prize.
