Testimonies / Reviews

I am blown over by this fantastic book of your journey through Ireland with your "boys". The book is inspirational and should be essential reading for all! - Mrs Susie Robertson, Highland Pony Society

'As sweet, relaxing and enjoyable a read as one might wish to find and having spent many years living abroad it brings on a feeling of melancholy and homesickness." - Jim Culloty, Grand National winning jockey. Also rider of triple Gold Cup winner Best Mate.

"Tracey's book brought home an appreciation of what we have here in Ireland. The beauty of the place and the characters in her photographs. If heaven is half as good as this - it's a grand place." JJ manga, Trainer of Grand National winner Monty's Pass

"Riding through Southern Ireland on her Highland ponies (ridden from Scotland), Tracey captures the beauty of the countryside and its good humoured characters."

The book was amazing - full of the most glorious photos. - Chris Curtis 

The book was purchased as a present. Arrived very promptly with a nice personal covering note. Very satisfied. Many thanks. - JMT Ambrose

My wife's 3rd Anniversary present and she's going to love it! Thank you Tracey and God bless... :) Levi Bowden

"The children are absolutely delighted with the beautiful Ireland book. Especially Emma aged 15yrs old who enjoys riding." - Angela Butcher, Wells, Somerset

if you emigrated from Kerry it will make you cry with joy! 

Whilst reading Tracey’s book “Riding by Faith through Ireland” I was completely lost within the adventure. I so enjoyed reading this treasure of a book. 

Tracey’s ability to write about her experiences truly enabled me to feel part of her adventure, leaving me with a desire to not only have more of my own, but to read more of her many other adventures. It’s a reading experience that takes you on a journey of humour and faith.

 Above Tracey talks briefly about her horseback ride around Southern Ireland.

“We worked all sorts of things, working in a chocolate factory, giving the bookies all our money! Yer, Always with the horses!”

“Go and speak to your man over there.” Jerry indicated a fierce looking man with a moustache restraining his horse by the birddle. As Kingsman wouldn’t go anywhere near the jaunting cart, I dismounted and walked over to explain that I had ridden my ponies from the top of Scotland to Land’s End and then onto Killarney and was hoping to see the official at Muckross house.

“He’s gone for the day.” His gruff exterior softened slightly, as he eyed up Callum and Kingsman. “Two fine looking cobs. Would you sell them?”

We sped along through the beautiful parkland in the drizzling dusk, to find a different way out as the gate we had entered through was locked. Investigating another locked exit, Jerry rode in between two security camera.

“The guards will be out to get us now!” I flung at Jerry, while I avoided the camera, and we urged the ponies into a fast trot heading in the opposite direction. I felt exhilarated , like I was a little girl again on her Dartmoor pony, speeding through the drizzle, ducking under the low dripping branches, out of bounds and loving it!.

It was dusk and we were trotting to see Ross Castle before dusk. On one of our short cut endeavours, Jerry found a multi-coloured golfing umbrella, which he picked up, and we rode along the pavements of Killarney side by side on Callum and Kingsman as through we were pedestrians, with the umbrella tipped into the prevailing rain so the ponies could see, but we couldn’t see where we were going!

“If I try to be like him who will be like me!”

As I rode along he narrow lanes, I met Michael and Mary Murphy who lived in a tiny thatch cottage. “My grandfather lived here with ten acres subsistence farming, just existing.” Michael said, continuing: “we acquired through the Land Commission the sum of 25 acres, milked 11 cows by hand and every day took 50 gallons of milk to the creamery by the pony and cart, then we progressed onto a tractor and trailer.

Puck Fair, a three day event has been held for hundreds of years. The first day is known as gathering day when a male mountain goat is crowned and enthroned as king of Puck Fair, high up on some scaffolding in the town square, where he stays through the second cattle day until the last day, which is scattering day, and then the goat is released back to the mountains.

  

“Where are your cobs? Asked the young Jauntie I had met the previous day at Muckross House, “and the saddle? How much do you want for it? I was relieved the saddle and my ponies were hidden in the cow shed!

“They won’t take no for an answer” Jerry warned.

  

Kingsman resting his head on my lap while we took a break form our trek!

Jerry couldn’t resist the adventure and came and rode his thoroughbred race hose on Rossbeigh Beach.

Great saga!
Format: Kindle
I love this series! It is beautifully painted, has good dialogue, and has a very compelling narrative. I cannot help but like the protagonist, Kir Kanos. He is brave, unselfish, noble, determined, and deadly. Even if his primary goal is to exact vengeance for the killing of the truly evil Palpatine, I cannot help but cheer for him. This is truly a compelling read that refuses to be put down.

Just an OK read
Format: Kindle
I was not aware when I purchased this that it was a Graphic Novel, I really wish that in the blurb about these products it was made very clear that you are buying a Graphic Novel. I like reading, not viewing the written word. Since I got this via Kindle there was no shipping issues. Maybe the Graphic Novels should have their own category, so that we don't end up with things we don't want.

"Thus die all traitors."
Format: Hardcover
At a grand 504 pages, this big book covers the Crimson Empire series in its entirety. Containing the first, second, and third mini-series as well as Bounty Hunters: Kenix Kil, Dark Horse Extra #21-24 "Hard Currency", and Dark Horse Presents #1 "Third Time Pays for All". While some of these stories truly pale in comparison to the original series, they all still form a big story that is collected in this book. Slightly smaller than a regular TPB, this hardcover edition looks nice with a dustjacket (although mine was very off-center) but utilizes a glued binding on this thick book so you lose a bit to gutter loss. The first story in the book is the classic Crimson Empire series. The six-issue series is collected here in full with a truly timeless story by Randy Stradley and Mike Richardson. Paul Gulacy did the awesome art within the issues. The writing and art work well together with the vibration of the blades to the movie-like, choreographed 12-page fight scene between Kanos and Jax at the end. A truly epic tale with lots of action and mystery that made you feel like you were watching another Star Wars movie but condensed into six issues of a comic book! This alone is worth the purchase price but you get even more stories after this! Bounty Hunters: Kenix Kil follows the Crimson Empire in a tale following Kir Kanos after the end of the Crimson Empire series and was the third issue in the Bounty Hunters series. Kir becomes the bounty hunter Kenix Kil to move through a bounty hunter-filled planet and get what he needs and get out alive! Javier Saltares did the penciling while Randy Stradley reprised his role for the story. The story's short but tells a bit more about Kir and his journey. The drawings, while not as good as the first series, look good enough to get the story across. Crimson Empire II: Council of Blood is next directly following the first series as Kir Kanos, as Kenix Kil, continues his quest to destroy what's left of the traitorous Imperial leaders. However, the return of an old friend side-tracks his quest and brings him to an even bigger journey! The old writing team of Mike Richardson and Randy Stradley return in this story as well as the original artist Paul Gulacy. The art's great and the story, though a bit dense, works well. There isn't quite as much action this time around but the story's just as good. The Zanzibar creatures are one of the creepiest things you'll ever see in a Star Wars comic, too! Next up is the very short four-part comic entitled Hard Currency that appeared in Dark Horse Extra #21-24. The comic is written by Randy Stradley so you know the writing's done well but the art is by Isaas Buckminister Owens and is one God-awful mess. The characters are horribly out of proportion and it looks extremely cartoony. It's very, very short with only a few pages but even if you get past the art, the comic reads like a calendar with the book turned on its side. So, the whole process of reading this out of a 500+ page book is just annoying. I know they probably couldn't print it any other way but it's still inconvenient. However, what you get is a neat story wrapping up the fate of a character that has ran through the first two series and a bit more about Kir's alter ego Kenix Kil. Unlisted, the book appears to start with the third main series but actually contains an 8-page prequel comic that originally appeared in Dark Horse Presents #1 entitled The Third Time Pays for All. The writing has Randy Stradley again and, thankfully, Paul Gulacy on art duty (although his other works here were better). Once again, a short glimpse into the life of (a newly outfitted) Kenix Kil on a bounty-hunting mission while he reminisces about his past run-ins with Mirith Sinn. Mike, Randy and Paul continue their work with the Crimson Empire III: Empire Lost where Kir Kanos rejoins Mirith Sinn one last time to thwart an Imperial thug from destroying the New Republic and the New Empire in one fell swoop! Leia, Luke, Han, and Chewie appear in this tale as well as Boba Fett to round out a classic cast. The art's great, once again, and the writing, while probably my least favorite of the series, is still pretty good with an epic fight between Kir and Devian. At the end of the book, we get the Crimson Empire Handbook entries on some of the characters as well as a few more covers to gawk at. While this hardcover book looks really nice, Dark Horse still fails to make a truly great edition for this series through the book itself. The contents are great but the small size and lack of comic covers are disappointing. Sadly, that's just how Dark Horse releases their hardcovers and TPBs. But, if you're looking to read the Crimson Empire books, this is the one to get!

Who doesn't love the Dark Father
Format: Kindle
Nice art work and an interesting story. We get to see what Vader was up too just after the Death Star was destroyed. We also see how the Emperor liked to play people off against each other especially against Vader.

Vader as you imagined him
Format: Kindle
Story line covers Vader being Vader. The brief show of power and ruthlessness in the movies is the main focus in these books. Shows why he is the greatest villain in fiction.
