I was fortunate enough to work and produce my

autobiography with Alan Forrest smith, sadly, just

before his demise early in 2024. I am required to

have some substantial enhancements and editing of the

the original book and produce a final version, and

publish my book hopefully in January 2025.

Exciting.

Tamara Forrest-smith offered to take on this

development with me, and all through, I had spent a

lot of time with Alan, Tamara was not known to me in

this capacity, so a little concerned.

I can only say how fortunate I have been to meet both

these professional writers, and concerns about

Tamara was greatly unfounded. Tamara has

demonstrated an enhanced vision for the whole project

and ideas for the enhancements. She has been very easy

through working with and compassionate to the

work, even though she has had to deal with her own

compassionate time during this project for me.

As I have learnt in life, craftsmen, with all the

rights “tools” will not always provide the best work

unless they have the inspirational desire to make us

compelled and absorbed in their product. Tamaras’

inspirational writing and ability to interpret

people’s writing and images are outstanding, and her

effort for me has been compassionate, mentoring, and

created a work of moral connection for the readers.

I must endorse that Tamara has worked many hours on

my project generally into the late evenings to help

me with this project.

Thank You, Tamara, Kevin Forbes
