Review Colin Seeley: Racer ...and the rest / Redline Books:This volume, the first half of Colin Seeley’s autobiography, isn’t just the story of one man’s life and achievements, although the Seeley marque is indeed an achievement. Colin recalls bending his very first frame using the most basic of equipment in an outdoor workshop on a frosty December morning in 1965. Colin, through sheer hard work and determination built his reputation as a perfectionist in all things, respected by the rich and famous, the manufacturers, and the fans within the motorcycling fraternity then and now. Packed with photographs, news clippings, and memorabilia, the book is also one man’s vivid memories of the motorcycle racing scene. From the thrills and anxieties of sidecar racing in the 1960s with passenger ‘Gungy Wal’ to the development of CSRS and the highly regarded sponsorship and service provided to racers lucky enough to have the friendship and professional interest of Colin Seeley. If you were there you’ll love reliving the moments. If you weren’t, you’ll wish you had been!.

Review The Hitman: My Story / Ebury Press:Born in 1978, Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton began to box at age 10. He continued to impress in the ring until a loss in the semi-finals of the 1996 World Championships, after which Ricky decided to devote his entire life to his sport. He gave up his job as a carpet-fitter and turned pro in 1999, taking the boxing world by storm and clinching the World Boxing Union belt within two years. This is Ricky’s story told in his own words, from his first step in the ring to his rise to stardom on an international stage, including the story of his incredible defeat of Kostya Tszyu in 2005 and his subsequent crowning as the champion of the WBU. With Ricky’s inimitable mix of quiet, down-to-earth modesty, sportsmanship, and ruthless determination to succeed, this is the unique life of a beloved champ.

Review The Way of the Black Warrior / PublishAmerica:The Way of the Black Warrior is not a how-to book on martial arts, but more of the way of life of a black martial artist, and its ups and downs from my own personal perspective and experience. All over the world we are considered a third-class race of people. Not by all, but by enough, and we are treated different, be it in the ring, sports, or the martial arts. So read my words and achieve an insight and understanding that took me years to learn.
