"Your book Naked is a multi-faceted jewel. It gleams with love, compassion and wisdom. Heights of joy, depths of sorrow and a glowing thread of that oneness with nature which is the well-spring of our humanity – thank you!" - Noel Harrison, actor and musician

"Anneke dares to follow the questionings of her restless soul and where they take her is described with honesty and humour. Naked is not the calm after the youthful storm of Self Portrait. On the contrary, the intensity of tragedy and comedy only seems to increase, with life ratcheting it up until we feel like crying "Enough, enough!". Happily we are spared the 'poor me' approach and are astonished at Anneke's resilience and her ability to bounce back and delight in whatever life throws her way" - Tony Kendrew, former Sunday Times Reviewer

"Naked is full of clarity and light and wisdom – a message of love and hope. A fine piece of work, inspiring and affirming. An honest account of a spiritual journey and about the inspiration of an artist’s life." – Donaleen Saul, Author

"Anneke integrates writing about her spiritual life with describing the practicalities of creating with her own hands beautiful places for her and her family to live in. Tremendous energy, practicality, creativity and the breathless style – a real page turner – loved the humour, and all the homes!" – Dinah Brooke, Author

"Your honesty, directness, humour and sadness touched my heart. You are a true writer with a style uniquely your own." – Persephone Arbour, Author

"The clarity and the uncomplicated telling of your story made reading it so compelling, and paid homage to ‘life’! What really comes through is the essence of the writer, which is not something one can actually write about. Inspiring, encouraging and all-forgiving." – Pam McGarry, Author

"I’m simply aghast at how hard you have worked all your life, and the way you just put your heart and soul into even the simplest of tasks. There is no sign of self-pity even when the men in your life behave like shits. It’s a great read and a historical account of India and what went on." – Coral Atkins, Actress

"Anneke's vitality, wit and determination continue to shine through and I had much the same conundrum as reading Self Portrait. I stopped reading for a while because I didn't want there to be nothing more to read. Of course eventually I had to accept that sitting experiencing her discoveries, tragedies and comedies should end in her own way." - PJ Wood

"Reading both of Anneke's books is like having Anneke in the room with you telling her own story, and because these are self published they have retained character and emotion which might have otherwise been lost. What an incredible story, guaranteed to raise smiles and bring a lump to your throat." - Derek Kettlety (Facebook)

Praise for 'Self Portrait' (published Autumn 2007)

"I didn't read it...I devoured it...vivid, captivating, moving and quite magically written." Nick Setchfield, SFX Magazine.

"It's surprising what you find out about your friends when you read their story! This is a dazzling kaleidoscope of life in the sixties, recounted by one who lived it to the full." Roger Lloyd Pack, Actor

"Written with no hint of self-pity or analysis, simply told, just the facts, and they pull you in relentlessly! A beautiful memoir." Coral Atkins, Actress

"Great work, a fascinating read - hope it sells as well as it deserves - its a book that should appeal well beyond the Who fanbase." Mark Freshney

"It was about 3am by the time I made myself put the book down. I LOVE this book! It's so honest and fascinating." Mag Williams

"Just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed reading Self Portrait. So many wonderful stories, and so much I didn't know about your incredible life! I hope all is well with you, and that you won't make us wait too long for the second volume." Stephen James Walker

It was brilliant - witty, moving, and as a snapshot of social history in the 60s, it was as revealing as the autobiographies of people like Marianne Faithfull and Christine Keeler. I especially loved the chatty style to it." Mark St Andrew

"Just finished reading the book. Loved it. Amazing. What a life! Volume Two now, please. Thanks." Chris Winwood
