Welcome to Penstock Publishing

Penstock Publishing started out in 2005 as an imprint of Hemel & See Boeke.

Today we are firmly established amongst South Africa's smaller publishing houses.


Penstock Publishing specialise in non-fiction, including biographies, cookery

resist.

Moffie: A Novel (Paperback)

This is a very engaging book that I highly recommend to anyone interested in a unique view of the insurgent wars in South Africa in the 1980s, military life, and a gay man's experience in a very hostile environment.



One of the first gay books published by Penstock Publishing.

The story follows the life of a gay man in the South African Defence Force during the 1980's.


Author André Carl van der Merwe transports the reader into this young man's world with evocative realism - sometimes heart-rending, sometimes with humour, always with beautiful brushstrokes of hope. This is a long overdue story about the emotional and physical suffering endured by countless young men.
