The Master of the Silver Lining
Wayven Pienaar
Some people see a glass half full; Wayven Pienaar sees a glass that’s about to fall over in a way that’s statistically improbable and objectively hilarious.
With the ability to find the punchline in a power outage or the irony in a root canal, Wayven has spent her career proving that if life gives you lemons, you should probably check if they’re expired—and then write a bestseller about it.
But even this funny girl has her limits. If you want to see Wayven’s ‘funny’ side evaporate instantly, just try knocking on her front door without a 48-hour notice. Her Achilles Heel is a trifecta of modern miseries: she has zero tolerance for unexpected guests, an even lower bar for ungrateful people, and a soul-deep loathing for long lines that refuse to move. She writes fast-paced novels largely because she can’t stand things that take longer than they should.
LATEST RELEASE
It’s 1987 and the President of Monty is feeling a little on edge about the future and how to position Monty for the decades ahead. He commissions a team to send three professionals on a time travelling mission to 2026 an he expects a tactical report when they return. However, things don’t quit go as planned at the Convention Centre…
In Hey Zombies! Thanks for Nothing, three unsuspecting souls from 1987 are accidentally catapulted into the chaos of 2026. It’s a world they don’t recognise, featuring an unlikely trio: a hard-hitting reporter looking for a scoop, a cynical 11th grader who was “over it” before he even arrived, and a local ‘hobo’ who only ended up in the time-travelling convention centre because he followed the scent of free appetisers.
If you enjoy laughing until your neighbours consider calling a wellness check, this is the book you’ve been waiting for. It’s polished, it’s poignant, and it’s definitely worth the sleep you’ll lose binge-reading it. It’s nostalgic, biting, and a reminder that while the technology changes, human absurdity is timeless. It is, quite simply, her best work yet.
