Poisitivity 365 - The Year in Colour
Success is rarely created in the moments everyone sees. It is built quietly, through the early mornings, the late nights, the small choices, and the consistent effort no one applauds. Positivity 365 is a daily reminder that meaningful change begins within, one thought, one action, and one day at a time. Let each colourful message encourage you to keep moving, keep believing, and keep becoming the person you know you can be.

The Woman, 64 5th Avenue
When a young woman disappears after leaving home for what she believes is a promising job interview, nobody realises that her trust has placed her in the path of a man who has perfected the art of appearing ordinary. Years later, the discovery of human remains beneath the garden of an old house at 64 Fifth Avenue in Heidelberg draws Captain Lora de Wit into an investigation where every answer uncovers another secret. As forgotten disappearances begin to connect, Lora must follow a trail stretching across Gauteng, unaware that the man she is hunting has a career, a family and a respectable life hiding something far darker. The Woman, 64 Fifth Avenue is a gripping South African crime thriller about trust, deception and the secrets that can lie buried behind the most ordinary of lives.

Self-DevelopmentOut of stockPositivity: The 365 Journey
A daily journey of inspiration, reflection, and quiet strength
by Marius A Venter
Positivity is not about pretending that life is perfect; it is about choosing to meet each day with gratitude, resilience, and purpose, even when the world feels uncertain. Positivity: The 365 Journey invites you to slow down, reflect, and find clarity, calm, and quiet strength, one thought, one truth, and one gentle reminder at a time. Alongside these daily reflections, Anna-Marie’s illustrations add a visual language of calm, emotion, and meaning, allowing the words and images to work together as one experience. This is a journey to be taken one day at a time, encouraging you to live with greater intention, lead with greater kindness, and focus on what truly matters. Let each message breathe, allow each day to unfold, and discover how positivity can become more than a word, it can become a way of life.
LeadershipOut of stockThe Calm Leader
Management that Inspires, Guides, and Delivers
by Marius A Venter
Leadership is about far more than achieving results. It is about creating an environment where people feel trusted, supported, and inspired to perform at their best. In a world of constant change, increasing pressure, and growing complexity, the ability to lead with calm, clarity, and confidence has never been more valuable. The Calm Leader I introduces a practical approach to leadership built on trust, discipline, accountability, and emotional intelligence. Rather than relying on authority or control, it shows how great leaders inspire performance through clear communication, sound judgement, consistent decision-making, and genuine care for their people. Every chapter provides practical lessons that can be applied immediately, whether you're leading a small team or an entire organisation. Whether you are stepping into leadership for the first time or refining years of management experience, this book will help you develop the mindset, skills, and confidence to lead with purpose. Because the leaders who leave the greatest legacy are rarely the loudest, they are the ones who remain calm, guide others with wisdom, and consistently bring out the best in those they lead.
CareerThe Trusted Employee
How to Build Trust, Create Value, and Succeed in Any Workplace
by Marius A Venter
Technical skills may help you get the job, but they are rarely what determines long-term success. Every workplace has its own culture, expectations, relationships, and unwritten rules, and understanding how to navigate them can make the difference between simply having a job and building a rewarding career. The Trusted Employee is a practical guide to becoming the kind of professional every organisation values. It explores the behaviours, habits, and attitudes that build trust, strengthen relationships, and create lasting opportunities. From professional communication and accountability to working with managers, handling difficult situations, and protecting your reputation, this book provides practical insights that can be applied in any workplace. Whether you're starting your first job, developing your career, or looking to become a more respected and effective employee, this book will help you build the confidence, professionalism, and judgement that employers value most. Because while qualifications may open the door, trust, reliability, and character are what build a successful career.

Let the Dominoes fall
Big changes rarely begin with big moments. More often, they begin quietly, with a decision, a conversation, a new habit, a boundary, an apology, a first step or the courage to finally say, This has to change.
The Power of a Positive Mindset
“Your thoughts are the foundation on which your future stands.”
The Attitude You Bring with You
Every day begins before anything has happened. The circumstances may be outside your control, but the attitude you carry into them is still yours to choose. Do not give an unfinished day the power to make you unhappy before it has even begun. Meet today as it comes. Bring patience, perspective and purpose with you, and let your response become part of what makes the day better.
