I think I finally found my story.
After months of writing, rewriting, and throwing away ideas that didn't feel right, I started over.
And I'm so glad I did.
Blackwater: A Family of Lies is a South African family drama inspired by the kind of stories we grew up with, where Sunday lunches are loud, church comes before everything, gossip travels faster than taxis, and every family has secrets they'd rather take to the grave.
I've officially published 10 chapters, and I'm genuinely proud of how this story is growing.
If you love messy families, betrayal, humour, shocking secrets, and characters that feel like people you actually know, then welcome to Blackwater.
I'd really love to know what you think so far. ❤️
✨ Who is your favourite Tendeni so far? ✨ Who do you trust the least? ✨ And if you were invited to one of their Sunday lunches... would you actually go?
Every vote, comment, and thought means more than you know. It keeps me writing and reminds me there are people walking through Blackwater with me.
See you in Chapter 11.
