A wonderful trio of memoirs set in South Africa, and extremely well written by the delightful Val Poore @vallypee.bsky.social
Back in the 80s and 90s of the 20th century, #SouthAfrica was a country in transition.

Even so, it was (and still is) a country rich in culture, colour and fabulous scenery.

Free to read on #KU
All available on #Audible!!

One more day at 0.99
My military-SF, space crew book, Special Delivery, is 0.99 all week.

I'm told it's not like my other books, & it is grittier & bloodier. But it is also a right laugh in parts, with a found family that bonds under duress.

Plus, it's 0.99. That's really the main thing.
