Ladner author Cynthia Elizabeth Sully is holding a double book launch next week.
One of her new books is Colour Beautiful Life Sunny, a sequel to her 2008 novel Child of Where Two Oceans Meet.
The follow up novel is again set in Sully's home country of South Africa. It is set after the apartheid era and sees the return of main character Fleur Rowin Elizabeth Eugene, along with her family.
"Not only her family and friends but her enemies as well," says Sully, adding that it's a "very exciting" tale.
Her other new release is titled Happiest Splash.
"I wanted to do something very different," says Sully, describing the book as a compendium with "all sorts of things in it."
There are short stories, poetry, a recipe section and more.
There's a lot of humour in the book but it has some serious material as well, she explains.
Proceeds from both books will go to the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation
of Canada. Sully has family members who suffer from Crohn's.
The book launch is set for Saturday, March 22 at 1 p.m. at Ladner Pioneer Library. There will be refreshments, South African food, prizes and live African drumming.
