Latest up on Spoken Label (Poetry / Author Podcast) from Capetown, South Africa features the wonderful Gavin Prinsloo.
Gavin’s Profile on Amazon advises he was “Born in Port Elizabeth in South Africa in 1968, I was raised in the beautiful coastal city of Cape Town receiving my schooling at Bergvliet High School in Cape Town, I matriculated in 1985.
I was raised by a foster family from the age of four, as a result of our family fracturing,
During the compulsory two years of military National Service, I joined the permanent force in the middle of 1987, attaining the rank of Sergeant.
I served until 1995, then entered the private security industry, eventually the Logistics industry, and ended up owning a small logistics business in 2016.
Suffice it to say, I was NOT a good businessman, and the company folded, as it was also heavily impacted by the worldwide pandemic, where, like so many worldwide, I lost my livelihood, my self-respect, and I think, my sanity.
In December 2019, I was diagnosed as bipolar, and to be honest, I think that was the best thing that ever could have happened.
I started writing as a catharsis, but eventually, it became a way of life for my everyday expression.
I wrote about 1300 pieces from poetry to flash fiction during 2020 and 2021 and decided to publish them on Amazon.
Reviews may be harsh as I am not an English expert, I tend to create viscerally, and in many genres.
All I can really say as a writer is that if any piece of my writing touches you in any way, I have succeeded in some way of affecting someone's life.
Writing has become my passion. I hope some of that passion reflects in my work if you should read any of my books.
To date, I reside in Tableview, Cape Town.”
