"I like Ken's e-novel very much...I would love to see this realised into a film or TV production."
(Barry- one of the first purchasers of the book)

"I have just read Brahms Gets Laid and can't wait for Russell's next.  Yet again he's worked his magic and turned a pompous old fart of yesterday into a sexy superhero we can relate to in the here and now. Spiderman, move over!"
 Roberto Harding, Hampshire
