Reader compares two authors and their money making activities

The death of author Howard Marks (left) from Kenfig Hill was reported last week at the age of 70.   On our Readers' Letters page a reader compares him with another author - Peter Hain (right) from Neath.
The reader states that they had much in common.   What do you think?
Mr Nice was the title of the best seller written by Howard Marks.
