    Once again Christopher's excellent creative writing matched with his thorough research, means the brief was meticulously followed, the work was delivered on time, and I have found a writer I totally recommend and trust.

    Christopher was absolutely brilliant, Five Star in every respect. He interpreted the brief first time without any follow up from me, he delivered the work early, and what he delivered was extremely good and impressively imaginative. I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you!
