Meandering Road
What began as a single story inspired by a photograph shared in a writer's group grew into a collection of imagined lives. Drawn from Johan’s travel and life experiences across continents, Meandering Road celebrates the struggles, triumphs, and humanity of everyday people.

“Meandering Road is a journey through many lives, and they all make it worth taking that road to meet them. A lovely work.”

"The stories are so thought-provoking and many of the characters I feel I would like to meet"

"Full of well-drawn characters, though often flawed, they are easy to connect with because they are like us."

“I read Meandering Road in one extended session. I was hooked by the characters and their journeys. While I enjoyed every story, Taking you Home, Empty Chairs and The Night Slim Dusty Came to Town are probably my favourites.”

"I am deeply engrossed and enjoying this read! The story entitled The Dressmaker has struck a particular chord with me… I clearly visualise the respectful and reserved Mr Asahara, indeed a finely drawn portrait."

“Johan, I read The Life of Herman Wolmarans over my lunch break. I finished this story with tears in my eyes.”
