His academic text, Information Processing Skills was published in 2010 and this was followed by his novel, Sunset in the Morning in 2015 which mirrors the tragedy of a fictional character, Ndoda, a former guerrilla leader appointed to spearhead development in independent Zimbabwe, who turned into a ruthless dictator. Ambrose writes passionately on social maladies such as poverty, oppression, injustice and suffering without fear or any sense of apology.
