The Gospel of T.F. Bundy
Dark as Hell.
Brutally funny.
Sweet as Love.
The criminally insane story you’ll absolutely love.
Cape Town’s advertising guru, Jake Cameron, is on top of his game. Nothing can stop ‘The Snake’ becoming richer than God, divorcing his gorgeous wife Jennifer, and living the narcissist’s dream in the penthouse his lawyer calls ‘Jake’s Fornicatorium’.
But Jake’s joyride hits the wall when a dusty spectre appears at his penthouse picture window, spitting ancient curses. A massive stroke shuts Jake’s circuits, erases his memory, and prepares him for the SUPER SAVANT cognitive upgrade he’s been selected for.
Why?
Jennifer Cameron’s worst nightmare comes true when ‘The Camputer’ wakes up, claiming he’s under orders from a blind-eyed angel named Fornax. Jake has to resurrect a derelict bookstore in a dying shopping centre and set the tenants free. The future of millions hangs upon him meeting his seven-day deadline from hell.
To beat the odds, Jake has to contend with three scumbags who are hell-bent on killing him, and deal with the man he was, the lies he lived...and Jennifer.
‘Phone your corrupt lawyer,’ Fornax rasps, and so the reluctant hero, hesitant wife, sceptical bookstore owner, and peculiar angels must trust the nefarious skills of a wildly ADHD Jewish lawyer to evade death, rebirth love and beat what’s coming at them.£13.99 -
35 Kilos
In any matter of the case, she would be needing an extra 8000 if renting a house. If the circumstances showed that she would have to move, she would have a serious money problem. So later, maybe within an hour, Patrizia would bend down and try to steal a telephone from the bag placed on the floor on the side of her just to get by the next month.
The airplane pilots did not look that much out of the window in ordinary airplanes, and the luggage was normally not stored at the front of the airplane as in this story.
Nor did the company stewardesses wear dots on their neckerchiefs.
“35 KILOS” is Aaness’ second book after the highly priced “Happy Belated Birthday.” Aaness is pushing her love for Paul Auster in this strangely composed short story that takes place in an airport, asking, "How are the passengers connected, what stories do they carry, and what actions and relations impact and protect them?"
«This book is a thoughtful meditation on how the past shapes us without defining us. For readers seeking a deeply personal story that resonates on a human level, «Happy Belated Birthday» is a must-read.

I am a Dog
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a dog? What might be going on inside their heads? How they might be feeling in all the different ways they live on our planet? Well, this book is for you!
It’s written by an imaginary mongrel dog who is trying to explain what it’s really like to be him. He describes his own experiences throughout his life and the thoughts he has had about them. Even if you think you know all about dogs and have one (or several!) of your own, some things may still surprise you. Did you know that a dog looking guilty is not saying sorry? Or how dogs find out about each other? How might the size and shape of a dog affect their view of the world and things around them?
To help you on your journey through the doggy world, our narrator asks some of his relatives and friends, big and small, to each give a little of their side of the story. What might a police dog or a dog belonging to a homeless person think about their lives? And finally, what is the difference between rehoming and rescuing a dog?
This middling-sized dog does not have all the answers, and he asks you to think carefully about some of the questions he still has. He would be most gratified if you would help him and other dogs to be better understood by spreading the word to all your friends!

Miner's Lad
With the grinding sounds of the pitheads ringing in his ears, the boy climbed and climbed the mountain, batting the ferns away with his hands, marvelling at the tiny purple foxglove heads. When he was far above the lines of dreary grey houses, he stopped and sat on the big rock that jutted out of the mountainside. Squinting out across the valley, he breathed in and closed his eyes.
For many of the mining communities in South Wales, life sped by under the heaviness of swinging picks and grinding gears. Through snapshots of life, we see how young men are influenced, how they grow, how they feel and how they watch those they love delve deep into the earth day after day. We stand beside our boy as he navigates his early life under the shadow of the greying mountains, between the lines and rows of terraced houses in the valley. Step by step through his life, his valley roots have followed him and remain ingrained within him.
