To say that Tumelo is an IT consultant who writes books in her spare time would be to vastly underrate the time, passion and energy that Tumelo puts into her books. Perhaps she has cracked the secret of a day that is longer than 24 hours? Because listening to Tumelo, you would think that she wrote and marketed books, full-time.

When you publish your own books, you do not have the luxury of relying on a publisher to do the marketing for you. So Tumelo works hard to make potential readers aware of her books, and to make sure readers have access to the books they want. Listening to Tumelo explain where she goes to discuss, and sell, her books, reminds you how vibrant the literature scene in Johannesburg is.
