First newspaper review for Switch, but I can't read it ;-)

[Grant McKenzie]

I just noticed that a South African newspaper, Volksblad, published a review of my debut thriller SWITCH. Unfortunately the review is written in Afrikaans, which I (being the ignorant unilingual ScotCanuck that I am) can't read. Anyways, I think he/she said good things because the only translation I could work out is the last line: "I will be looking out for McKenzie's second book." Here's the url: http://www.news24.com/Die_Volksblad/Boeke/0,,5-1969_2466676,00.html

UPDATE: Roger Smith, author of the South African thriller Mixed Blood, managed to translate a portion of the review. It reads: "A thriller that got me asking questions. Switch is a promising debut, a well-conceived thriller with no loose ends. Reminiscent of Dean Koontz. I’ll be watching out for his next book." Lientjie Mentz –Volksblad, South Africa.

This now changes my bio to: Born in Scotland, living in Canada, writing American-based fiction, sold to the UK, debuted in Australia and reviewed in South Africa. Maybe I should change my name to Austin Powers ;-)
