    About this ebook

    Foundation Nail is a short story of magic inspired by a real Sumerian Foundation Nail. A friend heard that the author was involved in transliterating cuneiform for one of his Sci-Fi books and asked the author to determine whether the Sumerian foundation nail he had inherited was worth anything. It now sits on the author’s desk providing moments of inspiration.

    Neville Goedhals

    Neville Goedhals began his early working career as an accountant and later as an infantry officer. Realizing his terrible mistake he changed careers, becoming a computer guru. Twenty-four years later while pecking at the keyboard, during caffeine induced high, he decided to become an author. Neville now resides in Florida, where he works to keep his two Burmese cats and a dog that looks like a mop, in tuna and chicken strips. Neville's other responsibilities include providing birdseed to an ever-increasing flock of wild birds including Mr. Quack and his progeny and families of sandhill cranes. Much of the aforementioned birdseed is purloined by the squirrels, raccoons and possums. The author is currently seeking part-ownership in a birdseed factory.
