NORTH CAROLINA
> You have the most interesting women characters in anything I've read, including bodice ripper romances.

OHIO
> I could not put BLOOD & GOLD down. I had the feeling you were personally narrating the story for me. I was impressed with clues, specially the red herrings meant to mislead, & particularly enjoyed the military aspects of characters like Paul Stanley. We owe our freedoms to people such as the Stanleys. Your knowledge of the military made it all believable, specially the portrayal of some of the unfortunate soldiers that fell victim. I look forward to your next book.

TEXAS
> MOCCASIN TRACE hooked me. Contrary to my upbringing that demanded steady work during daylight hours, I sat down yesterday afternoon and indulged myself all the way through. It captures the rhythm of plantation life and longings in the Civil War South. The saga pulls the reader into the love story/family saga. Details are finely nutured in language that feels like poetry. A history buff's delight!
> I know people just like those in your thrillers...how much more I would identify with the characters if I knew other authors as well as you.

I am so proud of you.
