    Wolf Sherman

    Biography - Wolf ShermanWolf was born in 1970, grew up in Pretoria and after school joined the South African Police in 1988. During 1993 he was transferred to Johannesburg. During his colourfully interesting police career he was attached to several specialist divisions that include the anti-vehicle theft unit, organised-crime-and-political-investigations unit, and the East-Rand Murder & Robbery unit. After his police career he successfully applied his experience in the corporate financial world as insurance investigator and financial planner.Wolf is 48-years of age, have been blessed with three daughters, and is an avid blood and blood platelet donor. He fills his time by weaving his unusual life experience and keen interest in religion, metaphysics, war and political research and that of his love for food and classical music - into his poetry, fictional short stories, and novels.“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.” - George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons.I'm always curious to listen when people talk about which book - ever - they'd first read. For me it was “The Man Called Noon” that was published in 1970. I suppose that it goes without saying the 1973 film directed by Peter Collinson - of the same name - as the 1970 Louis L'Amour novel, was quite a hit in the day.I was always in love with the books in which storytellers extended an invitation right from the word go, and pulled me in into a different world. The next early love for me growing up were bookshops and libraries. But I'd consider libraries had the first place. My love for both novels and short stories grew over the years, but somehow short stories found me more often. In part, I think because one can sponge it up in a single sitting, and move on to the next world, so to speak.On the topic of short stories, the storytellers in this instance tell how they see it - but being forced far quicker to relay that. I have no doubt that any short story can be stretched out and pinned down to become a novel - if one wanted to. Obviously there is no set length that a short story has to subscribe to, but I'd imagine anything from five-thousand to twenty-five-or-so-thousand words is adequate to save someone, murder a few people, get some revenge, use most of the rope in your boot, discard the spade when you're done, and go in hiding till the whole thing blows over. Of course, if there's a body to begin with... Which really stems from poor planning - I have always thought - in a story. Naturally. Of course, we also need to fall in love at some point and give our whole heart to someone special. It makes for a more balanced killer. In a story. Naturally.Look me up on:Pinterest @ Wolf Sherman BooksInstagram: @Wolf_ShermanTwitter: @WolfSherman2

      Celestial bodies orbit a small planet blue

      As humans hold tight to few ideas true

      Rigel the brightest hints far away a clue

      In souls tick a longing a fresh orbit drew

      Neptune observes large picture grew

      And on earth souls pass a portal anew

      Insignificant to daily living planets last

      Neptune in the dark away feel them past

      All head to earth comparing souls fast

      Closeness gravitates and pulls orbits new

      All souls like planets also pull a few

      Roaming heaven adding to eternal stew

      - Wolf Sherman

      When Heaven Was Full

      The light years across His massive old desk,

      Was strewn with the plans as always the best,

      Another sun and a moon the challenge the test,

      Would He again built a heaven and rest?

      Then Gabriel from searching came back one cold night,

      His wings were aflame and weary of flight,

      Out of breath angels followed with might,

      But none could keep up with Gabriel's flight,

      No need then for another heaven to make!

      I found it! I found it! It's there for the take,

      Designer Supreme then from Gabriel did take,
