– Graham Murray, Editor, Inside Queen’s Park




Specific to My Lethal Shadow:

"I thoroughly enjoyed your novella. It was well presented. It kept me completely interested and I was not able to put it down. All the different scenarios and how everything came together at the end. It was great! The thrill of your novella reminds me of some of my famous writers like Clive Cussler, James Patterson just to name a few."

-- Marie Poliquin, avid Cussler and Paterson reader



Specific to Mustard:

“ The story about eating dessert first cracked me right up!”

– Colleen Isherwood, Editor, Canadian Lodging News

I enjoyed reading 'Humour on Wry with Mustard" so much, I have just taken delivery of Mayo and Ketchup! Good luck with the next book.

- David Cruickshank, Aberdeenshire, Scotland

" Your Fred stories are absolutely outrageous! To a frequent traveller, there are lots of 'Freds' out there, but they are not half as entertaining as this curmudgeon."

University of Guelph



Specific to Ketchup:

Most entertaining and well written! When I want a chuckle, I will reach for your book."

A great read and very interesting. Wow, hard to believe the stories are based on real events!”
