Jus spoke to mae dad. I can’t believe this, he says he read “The setup” in one day. He says he jus couldn’t put it down. He says he slept around midnight. I was so exited to hear him say that as if he was presenting me with a gift. I loved it when he said he can’t recall the last time a book kept him so captivated. #UnPutDownable #TheSetUpNovel

“What is going to happen next?”

15 Apr

There are three phrases that I got used to hearing from people who read “The Set Up”. The first one is “I couldn’t put it down!” The second one is “Are you sure this is fiction?”, and the third one is “What is going to happen next?”

“I couldn’t put it down!”

It makes me very happy to hear that! It is a compliment I can never get tired of hearing. To me it means I achieved my goal: To entertain the readers.

 ”Are you sure this is fiction?”

Most people say are amazed at my imagination when I tell them it is fiction. Apparently the book reads like a true story. Others tell me that they don’t believe that it is fiction – that maybe it happened to me or somebody I know. I have given up trying to convince them, so I just laugh at that.

“What is going to happen next?”

Initially I was not going to write the sequel, but the pressure got to me and I caved in. I started writing the sequel and it has been quite a challenge. Unlike “The Set Up”, this time people have expectations. Most women have specifically told me “Jim must pay!” And you see, I want to please them, while at the same time I need to make sure the sequel is still unputdownable, and most importantly make sure the story is believable.
I did my best and I am happy with the final results. And if you loved “The Set Up”, then I have no doubt that you will love the still-untitled sequel.

The sequel – coming up in September/October.

Next time
Thank you note

Lesego Mosenyi wrote Finished reading The Set up recently…Wow! Great work there. I didn’t expect such a gripping ending and now can’t wait to read how the story continues on to the next series…(The Setup Sequel, right?). The beauty of this is that it written by my homegirl, from our humble village of Dinokana. So, I had those proud moments when I dropped the line : “I know the author…we’re from the same village” :) and it drew the response : “really??”

“Really!”

#Proud of you gal! Well done!:) #TheSetUpNovel

Modise Ernest Gunqisa wrote I finished reading “The Set Up” last nite, I must say that is a blast of a novel. It is very emotional, touchy and genuine. I would encourage those who haven’t read it, to get the book and read it. To the author (Segametse Moumakwa) I would like to say a job well done, we need the second edition soon.

Excerpt Ch 4

20 Aug

 

“Oh, my God,” Brandy said excitedly. “He was so yummy! If I was married to someone like that, I would never let them out of my sight, I swear. And charming too! Apparently, he and the wife have been separated for a while and that’s why he’s dating again. But he didn’t want to talk about it, which I understand. Oh, gosh, I am so interested.” – The Set Up

Excerpt from Chapter 1

17 Jul
That day, when they got to the restaurant, Brandy took
out her laptop and, after switching it on and opening an
application, said to Macy, “So, how would you describe me?”
“What?” asked Macy, not sure what Brandy meant.
“I mean, if I was a product and you were advertising me,
what you would say?” she said.
“Oh, okay. Smart, tall, beautiful, fun…” said Macy.
“How about sexy?” asked Brandy, furiously typing on her
laptop.
“Sexy, of course, but why?” asked Macy, not knowing
where that was leading.
“I’m creating a profile on an online dating site,”
said Brandy.

Talent Latent No More by Onkgopotse Ramatiti

19 Jan

Let the word go forth here and now… That a new time; a new era; a new epic has begun. And my dear sister, Segametsi Moumakwa, the greatest novelist of her community is leading the way. For years we’ve been living in the literal ice age where it is fashionable to be indifferent to non-readers’ apathy. Indifference is the one trait that makes the very angels weak. And yet that era is coming to a close because the rich legacy of SS Dipale and JM Ntsime; of Bessie Head and Recias Melato Malope is now coming alive in the penmanship of my dear sister, Segametsi Moumakwa. She’s set up a masterpiece, but she wants inner peace to be found in your life, so that your life can be a masterpiece as you read her masterpiece… She has personal capacity to express creatively and endure with grace and dignity. She understands that literature is about writing what you yourself would enjoy reading… IMMERSE YOURSELF IN HER BOOK!
