Author - Shattered Lives, The story of Advocate Barbie. Sold 5000 copies to date.
Shattered Lives was written with one goal in mind and that was to factually tell the story of the Advocate Barbie saga. The book does not incorporate an explanation of the reasons behind her behavior as this was never the goal of this book. For the first time the full stories of all the victims are told in detail as they were told in the high court.
Future Books
At the present time I am working on a book focusing on possible reasons or a combination of criminological explanations on why Cezanne Visser committed the crimes that she did. It will also delve into an explanation of what factors were considered by Acting Judge Exstein when he sentenced her to seven years in prison.
During the research into Jeannine’s history and her life on the streets I heard many devastating stories about the lives on young women forced out of their families and onto the streets. I was privileged to be party to many shocking and frightening revelations about life and survival on the streets. The harsh realities faced by many young women on a daily basis. It was truly heartbreaking. At the present time I am working on a book focused on telling a number of these stories and unraveling the dark mysteries of the criminal underworld at work on the streets every day! The book will also explore the darker elements at work in Jeannine’s du Plessis life, those that ultimately led to her decision to end her own life.
Recently I was approached to write a book detailing the pros and cons of Barriatric or Gastric Bypass Surgery in South Africa. Working with a renowned surgeon, a dietician and a psychologist we explore options for South African patients.
