It's been a minute (and a bit) since our last post. Red Mouse is exceptionally blessed to have a LOT of projects albeit all with very fine timelines.

But I had to take a few minutes to just be thankful and tell the (social media) world, how blessed we are to work with exceptional printers that go above and beyond 'just the print job'.

Wayne van Wyk from Bidvest Data and your team, Tania, Abdul and all the other behind-the-scenes guys, you rock! Thanks for all the hard work and all the giggles during our conversations.

Grant Walton from Castle Graphics... never has a lack of planning and timing on the customer's customer @@ ever deterred you from doing a sterling job! Thank you for all the quick fixes, the personal deliveries and just being the awesome guy you are.

What an absolute honour it was to work with Karavan Press on a project.

The Veil of Maya by Chantal Stewart is an award-winning publication and an awesome read!

Receiving feedback like this from clients makes us incredibly proud! It is such a rewarding journey to see author's words come to life in print!

It was a delightful experience working with Amanda from Red Mouse Design on the redesign of my novel. She was helpful, prompt and made really good suggestions about cover design and the layout of the novel. There was a tight time frame and Amanda responded quickly and efficiently. Nothing was too much trouble. This made the whole experience a joy and added to the excitement of producing the book.

Wanneer vreemdes vriende word, vriende outeurs word, en outeurs kliënte word!

Linda van Heerden se tweede boek, Vrug dra deur die Gees vir God, is 'n 366 dae dagstukkieboek gebaseer op die Vrug van die Gees van Galasiërs 5.

Barend Vos het die boek redigeer en skryf so oor die boek:
Linda is ’n Woordmens, met ’n heilige respek vir God se stem soos dit deur die verskillende Bybelskrywers gehoor is.
In hierdie boek kom die vrug van haar gawes na vore, besprinkel met ’n ruim gee van haarself, en deeglik onderlê deur ’n diepe liefde vir die Here wat sy aanbid en wie se Naam sy verkondig en eer.

Die boek is tans by die drukkers, maar sal binnekort beskikbaar wees. Ideale Kers- of verjaardaggeskenk.

It's been an incredibly busy few months. Red Mouse is humbled and grateful.

The journey walked with every author who decide to take the self-publication route is very precious as they are closely involved in every aspect - and the pure joy to deliver the final product in their hands is magic.

In the past few months, Red Mouse assisted prof Johan Cilliers in publishing his book The Chaos of Beauty - Reflections on Life, Aesthetics, and Practical Theology.

Prof Ian Nell writes: "In this comprehensive work, the practical theologian and homiletician, Johan Cilliers, is at his best.
In a certain sense, it serves as an overview of the various topics and subjects he engaged with during his time in the academy. His own painting on the cover already gives one an impression
of what he has in mind with the book. Each chapter confronts
the paradoxes and mysteries of life and death."

The book is available from the author. Please e-mail [email protected] for more detail.

Recently done by Red Mouse Design & Publication as an Amazon e-pub and print version, is a work of fiction by debut author Richard Tomlinson.

First Violin is set in Vienna during World War II.

Klaus Lehner plays first violin for the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and when the concertmaster is amongst other Jews expelled from Philharmonic, he sees the opportunity for a position he covets. He is bitterly disappointed when he is passed over.

In the wake of his disappointment, Klaus’s lover Eva, a virtuoso cellist, urges him to become a soloist. To determine whether he is merely brilliant or can truly move an audience she tasks him with mastering difficult pieces by Bach and Paganini, and with fathering her baby – both of which he does.

Meanwhile, at home, Klaus’s wife Helga gives birth to their firstborn.

When Eva’s N**i husband finds out about the love affair, he has Klaus arrested and sent to a Mauthausen subcamp to supervise Ukrainian laborers. Amidst the suffering, Klaus composes a tone poem, Silence Interrupted, translating his nightmares into sound.

After the camp is liberated, Klaus returns to a war-torn Vienna devastated by American bombers and occupied by the Soviet army. He makes a living busking in front of the Soviet Vienna City Kommandatura. Klaus faces a choice between the two women he left behind.

A captivating read!
