"Numerous revisits to the marvellous and thought-provoking message of hope of a culture indigenous to a home, that sadly is not far from the truth humanity has historically witnessed. An anthology of tales worthy of "The Martian Chronicles', 'Roots' and 'Once upon a time in the west'." -Amazon, 5*"The characters are written in a way that you love even the 'bad guy' ... I found myself so invested in the story, that pulls you in from the first paragraph, that I actually missed my bus. I can’t wait for the sequel." -Amazon, 4*"This is a wonderful read, well-structured and Western-inspired." -Amazon, 5*"Great use of language and fantasy themes. It’s also really creepy in places; I don’t care for horror, generally, but it’s done really well here, and these elements add to the dark atmosphere."-Amazon, 5*"The traditional Western genre is reimagined with a fantastical twist. The heart of GREYSKIN is an exploration of the injustices faced by the indigenous orc population. The author highlights the tension between the human settlers and the native orcs with care. - the stories are woven together with finesse and offer a refreshing perspective on the classic Western." -Goodreads, 5*"What sets this book apart from others in the genre is the unique blend of fantasy elements with themes of colonization in America. It is a fresh and exciting approach that I haven't encountered before." -Goodreads, 5*
