Very pleased to see Hamilton Wende’s House of War get a warm review in Fair Lady: “Hamilton Wende’s novel is a fast-paced story about love, adventure and war. Fascinating snippets of information about Alexander the Great and his various lovers/conquests are woven into the narrative and contribute to making it a satisfying read.”
Very pleased to read the Cape Argus review of client Hamilton Wende’s novel House of War in Tonight.Co.Za, which declares the novel a “love story for all ages”. Beryl Eichenberger says “It is a beautifully structured novel that is not afraid to show the harsh realities of war. Throw in a clever blend of intrigue and love, and you have an absorbing and sometimes shocking read.” Thanks, Beryl!
Editing client Mason Cranswick has published his novel Blood Lily with 30 Degrees South and what a cracking read it is. A tale of boxing and redemption that crosses between the current financial crisis and the war for independence in Zimbabwe, this novel takes an unflinching look at that country’s troubled past and blighted present.

Exclusive Books have made Blood Lily one of their four Book Club Choices for December.
