Howard asked Rob Edmunds:

Have you ever come across Ben Kane in the historical fiction genre? I had the good fortune of spending time with him, his brother, our and his parents, travelling in east Aftica, when I was a youngster. Ben has written many historical fiction novels at this stage. Kind regards, Howard Fox

Rob Edmunds Hi Howard, I have heard of Ben Kane and I know a little of his reputation, both as a writer and as a person. I've never met him but, anecdotally, I've heard as you've confirmed that he's a really decent guy. I definitely intend to read some of his novels, not least as a few of them are quite similar in theme and period to the ones I've written. Thanks for the prompt. I'll delve into some of his books as soon as I have the chance. Kind Regards, Rob
