In Night Watchers of the Baviaanskloof, young Liena is stirred from sleep by a mysterious calling in the night. Guided by her grandfather, Oupa Gideon, and the glow of a lantern, she ventures into the starlit wilderness of the Baviaanskloof. There, she encounters the Watchers - nocturnal creatures like the silent Cape Leopard, scruffy Brown Hyena, delicate Aardwolf, and ghostly Barn Owl. Each reveals a lesson of purpose, humility, and divine design. Blending lyrical prose with spiritual reflection, this gentle tale explores the quiet majesty of creation, awakening in Liena a deep sense of wonder, belonging, and faith. Beverley Lilliann Alice Joubert is an eclectic South African storyteller based in the Karoo town of Willowmore. She writes across age groups and genres-whimsical children's picture books and activity titles, Scripture-grounded devotionals, heart-tugging romances, and edge-of-your-seat mysteries and supernatural thrillers. Anchored in faith and a love for everyday miracles, Beverley's books celebrate courage, compassion, and the quiet resilience of ordinary people. Her granddaughter often inspires her children's stories, while her rural surroundings and South African heritage lend texture and authenticity to her adult fiction. When she isn't plotting a new series or polishing a manuscript, she's likely sketching ideas for illustrations, sipping rooibos, or walking under the wide Karoo sky with her husband, Shaun.
