Some Comments from Fans

My, what a lovely tapestry you weave in your stories. It's fresh to see all the
characters, virtually introduced almost at once in short chapters, at the
beginning of a novel and then have the pattern woven so seamlessly and
unfolded so carefully into a garment delightful to have. ~ R. R.

F. kindly loaned me his autographed copies of your books…. I enjoyed reading
both of your books, but my dog really enjoyed your second book
Secrets at
Sweetwater Cove
. While I was visiting my daughter, my boxer decided that
your book tasted good. She ate the cover and autographed pages but was kind
enough not to damage the whole book so I was able to finish reading it!! I would
like to replace F.'s book with a new autographed copy and am hoping that you
can help…. ~ A. M.
{Note: I replaced it, of course!}

My name is G. and I am from Alexandria, Virginia. I went to Goodview to visit
my daughter and we went to the
Diamond Hill General Store…. While in the
store I noticed the rack with your books. The lady who helped me said you
were a very good author and I would probably enjoy your work. I bought two
books. I just finished the
Spawning Run book. You are a wonderful author. It's
been a long time since I found a book that I simply could not put down. I
thoroughly enjoyed it. Your description and detail of the lake was great and I
loved King and Little Guy … thank you for giving me several hours of fantastic
reading. Tomorrow I'm starting the
Sweetwater Cove book…. ~ G. B.

After reading the first novel, G. B. sent the following note.

I wrote to you a couple of weeks ago after reading Secrets at Spawning Run.
I just finished
Secrets at Sweetwater Cove. When I reached the part where
Carol was trying to escape from Win at La Grande Maison your writing was so
intense that I was glued to my chair. I enjoyed this book just as much as the
first one. You are truly a very gifted writer and once again I thank you for giving
me many hours of absolutely superb writing. ... I am waiting anxiously for your
next novel! ~ G. B.

Sally, I absolutely thoroughly enjoyed both your books. I couldn't put them
down! What fun knowing where the various incidences took place. Thank you
for sharing your talent.
~ D. G.

I just finished
Secrets at Spawning Run and loved it from the dedication to
the last word on the last page. Hurry and write more. Mysteries are my favorite
and your style of writing is so leisurely that it is enjoyable to read. Looking
forward to the next one. ~ J. C.
