How Jacaranda rain – a South African story was written

Abstract

This is an account of how I went about writing my book of memoirs Jacaranda rain – a South African story. Several things immediately spring to mind when asked, ‘How did you go about writing this book’? Foremost is the fact that every person who picks up a pen, stylus, writing implement, or lays their hands on a typewriter or computer no doubt has a different and personal reason, aim, or motive for doing so.
