    What do you do when the woman you love is someone else's wife?

Her passion for the written word has spanned across decades until she finally put a pen to paper and began her path as an indie author. Married, with one son and three fur babies, she lives in Cape Town and while she loves travelling, she cannot see herself living anywhere else.

      The greatness of humanity is not in being human, but in being humane.

      ~ Mahatma Gandhi

      To those brave enough to face this unforgiving world each day, embracing their differences in a sea of sameness, I salute you. May you continue to shine that beautiful light brightly as the world struggles to learn the art of being humane.

      MEET ME HALFWAY

      What do you do when the woman you love is someone else’s wife?

      It was supposed to be just a weekend of fun, but it turned into so much more. When Cal invited a work colleague to spend a weekend away with him and Vivienne, he didn’t foresee the complications it would bring.

      After they arrived at the beautiful lodge for their first vacation together in forever, Vivienne was furious to discover Cal had invited a work friend to spend the time with them. But as she got to know Fay, what started out as fun turned complicated.

      Their marriage had been undoubted. Now there are questions. Will Cal, Vivi, and Fay find a solution to their predicament?

      VIVIENNE

      Six Months Ago

      I knew from our very first date that Cal was my person, my ride-or-die, my one.

      Our whirlwind romance culminated in the most romantic beach wedding I could have dreamed of. And now here we are, seven years in. You know – at the seven-year itch stage of marriage people talk about. I don’t believe in superstition and old wives’ tales, so I pay no attention to nonsense like that.

      I have to admit though, it’s become glaringly obvious we’ve become complacent in our years together. I mean, in the ten minutes Callan’s been home from work, he’s changed into sweats and a T-shirt, plonked his ass on the sofa, and is now engrossed in whatever the latest multiplayer game is that he loves so much.

      So I’m guessing dinner is all on me tonight. Again.

      I give him the stink eye in the hopes of guilting him into giving me a hand, but I should have known better. He’s so caught up in the killing and mayhem of his game I doubt he even remembers I’m in the room anymore.

      Heaving a sigh, I go over to the fridge to rummage around for the makings of our evening meal. Pickings are somewhat slim since I’ve been putting off going to the supermarket, and I finally settle on chorizo mac and cheese. One of Cal’s favourites. To ease the irritation, I pop some tunes on, and I lose myself in the rhythm of cooking.

      So lost, in fact, I can’t bite back the squeak of surprise when Cal speaks from just behind me.

      Babe, with your birthday coming up soon, I’ve been thinking. Something in the tone of his voice tips me off this isn’t going to be the usual what would you like for your birthday conversation.

      Yeah?

      I’ve booked us a long weekend away.

      Yeah? I repeat. Sounds good. Where are we going?
