Welcome to Chanette Paul's website
Chanette Paul has experimented with a number of genres whilst writing romances to keep the pot boiling.
Recently she has found her true niche, romantic suspense albeit a quirky interpretation of the genre.
She entered this new phase with her 30th book, Springgety (springtide), followed it up with,
Fortuin (fortune) and Boheem (bohemian).
A fourth novel, Meetsnoer, in which Detective Gys Niemand again features as a secondary, but significant character,
will be on the shelf in October 2010.
Chanette Paul was born in Johannesburg in an era when women still wore aprons.
Kayla Cilliers might have been acquitted of her husband’s murder, but that didn’t mean she was found innocent.
Three years after the murder Kayla is elated when she wins a writing contest. The prize is tutelage under world famous author, Rose-Anne Lockwood, owner of the artist colony, Bohemia.
On her arrival, however, Kayla discovers the body of her would-be mentor.
Xanthe Tredoux is a freelance journalist who arrives at Paradise Gorge, a mystical healing retreat, to expose Eva van Eden, its owner, as a charlatan. The secluded estate, only accessible by air, is peculiar enough--but some of guests and inhabitants are downright strange.
Events take an eerie turn when Xanthe finds two guests have died under suspicious circumstances and begins to suspect she might be next in line to die at the hand of 'mother nature'.
The unconventional detective, Gys Niemand, knows something is seriously amiss at Paradise Gorge, but has to unravel the puzzle miles away from the almost impenetrable estate whilst fighting his personal battles too.
Springgety
(Chanette) Paul succeeds from the first page to the last to keep the reader guessing and surprising twists keeps the reader glued to the pages… It’s a page-turner, with enough intrigue, strange riddles to be solved, and interesting twists that make it difficult to put the book down.
Linette van der Merwe in Pretoria News
Chanette Paul’s thirtieth novel, Springgety, heralded a new writing phase in which she tests the waters of suspense fiction.
Kruisbaai, the isolated seaside village at the end of sixty kilometers of treacherous dirt road, gives Detective Gys Niemand the creeps. Especially Leap Rock, the cliff that towers over the moody sea - a greedy piece of rock if the four crosses planted on top for those who fell to their death, is anything to go by.
Lily Reynecke knows practically nothing about Kruisbaai when she inherits her aunt’s odd beach cottage, called the Sea Wife.
