When shy and bookish Gavin Hartford is sent to London, he is prepared to be very bored and very lonely. But after he accidentally forms an acquaintance with dashing man-about-town Charles Kentworthy, his life is turned completely upside-down. Mr. Kentworthy seems determined to educate Gavin on how to enjoy city life. As Gavin opens up to Mr. Kentworthy-discussing poetry and magic, confessing his fears about marriage, and expanding his social circle to shocking proportions-he finds himself far outside his comfort zone. Will he have the courage to face his own growing feelings for his new friend?This epistolary Regency romance is the first in a historical fantasy series, Meddle & Mend.

I am delighted to write this foreword for the project that I commissioned in September 2018; a fine book that is entitled: The Digo Mission: Essays in Commemoration of 114 Years of Mission Work in East Africa (1904-2018). From the outset, let me confess that this is a Mombasa Diocesan achievement, a regional achievement, and indeed a legacy that will hopefully stand the test of time. Some of the key issues that appear in this book include: identity and culture in the Digo mission, the first Digo-Duruma converts to Christianity, the first European missionaries in Digo land, women participation in the Digo mission, Christian-Muslim relations in the Digo mission, Gospel and culture in the Digo mission, challenges in the Digo mission, and the future of Christian missions. Considering that the written word will always earn its infinity, in one way or the other, this publication ensures that our legacy will never be swept under the carpet.
