At the end of last year, MY THREE NAMES was picked by a teacher in a Cape Town school to use in her classroom as part of her curriculum.
It was a great hit with the teacher and the students 🐈⬛
Spotted out in the wild at @exclusivebooks.bsky.social MY THREE NAMES by Pamela Newham.
We are very excited about our current cohort of authors and books, and how they are making an impact on readers.
We are looking for new manuscripts and authors to join Indeed Books and strengthen our reputation as a haven of literary engagement and entertainment.

Today we headed to our printer to look at cover options and ideas for an upcoming book. They recently had a delivery of our favourite paper ready for all our upcoming books. Of course, there was the messiness of a print shop & shredding ... & many different book options to look at and think about.
Our authors Sheryl and Sandy James organised a friendly launch in the Limpopo province with their community members, family and friends on Sat 7 Feb. They were expertly interviewed by @gailgil.bsky.social (author of CAT THERAPY).
Full house @exclusivebooks.bsky.social Cavendish for Pamela Newham's MY THREE NAMES. @kerryhammerton.bsky.social and I loved this novel and I am thrilled that Karavan Press and Booksite can support its publishing journey.

Sheryl is a university graduate with a BA. She is cerebral palsied, passionate about sport, animals & the bush. Her mother, Sandy, spent thirty years as a school principal & educator. UNBRIDLING arose from the journals that Sheryl and her mom penned as each of them experienced her own ‘unbridling’.
Born cerebral palsied, SHERYL JAMES spends her early life arguing with the world & God. After one failed & two successful Comrades marathons, she resigns from her job & at the unlikely age of 33 she is unexpectedly launched into sprinting. Her trajectory is set for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
PAMELA NEWHAM is an award-winning author who has worked as an English teacher, journalist and editor. MY THREE NAMES is her fifth novel for teens. All her teen novels are widely used in schools.
