"Gale can write, he can write in a way that sucks you into a whole new world. I love reading what Gale writes. His world is so cool I envision a smart producer taking it to the big silver screen." - Robin Kitson, Award Wining Storyteller, Raleigh, NC

"A work of Art!" - Dr L. T. Jordan, Founder Leon Jordan's Continentals Orchestra and Professor of Metallurgical Engineering, retired.

"I loved this story and found it very engrossing. I became very connected to the characters and was sad and upset every time one got killed off, including the faeries! I was especially connected to Iain and hated it when he died. Scenes are well defined, and I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and can't wait for the next chapter in the story. We are left with something of a "cliff-hanger" with the hags. I definitely want to read the next story. I also enjoyed the use of the correct language for several terms. It made it more interesting and fun.
I keep thinking about all the characters." - Dr Alice Scales, Celebrated Professor of Graphic Arts, NCSU, Raleigh, NC

"Vrenessbith by Gale Buck is a fantastic read. It has a little bit of everything, including some Celtic history, war, Roman soldiers, births and deaths, and even faeries. The book begins with a couple spending time with their three inquisitive grandchildren. When one of the children gets a wild hair to pick up a stone and throw it, the grandfather stops him and goes on to explain the significance of the pile of stones and how it relates to the formation of the Highlands. This is where the story within the story begins. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is well written and hard to put down." - Jean Futrelle, Teacher / Youth Counselor, Raleigh, NC.
