Title: Just discovered something which made me go 😳😳
Post by: Trevor on June 04, 2025, 12:00:46 PM
A very well known South African writer who actively discouraged me from writing further back in 2017 has now had his book on the beginning of SA cinema and its founder published while mine is awaiting publication.

Amazing that he would criticize my manuscript publicly and then publish his own a few years later.

Piece of 💩😡

Thing is, your book will be better than his (and he probably knew that).

Aww thanks 😊😊👍

One of the things Ted Botha hauled me over the coals for was "all the American and UK films mentioned in your manuscript which have nothing to do with South Africa". I had to explain that films like FIRST BLOOD (1982), ARMAGEDDON, RUNAWAY TRAIN, ARACHNOPHOBIA, DR NO, GOLDFINGER, G I JANE etc have South African connections and if he read a line or two further he would see why.

Do they have On Demand Publishing in SA???
That's how my friend Keith Van Allen managed to get a couple books out....
