‘Reading your work is rather like a cinema still come to life. All the characters we have come to know as dead men suddenly come to life and start talking. I think it’s great… I found your description of the Hlobane battle extremely exciting. Very well done. I have described it many times to tourists and only hope I made my description half as vivid as your narrative.’

 Ron Lock, renowned battlefields guide and Zulu war author.

‘… I am enjoying this, learning much and I think your style is entertaining and appropriate.’
