  • I am spell bound. You have a way of writing that leaves a mental image by use of very descriptive words that is amazing. I was disappointed to realize that I was at the end of the book, however clearly not the end of the story. How long do I have to wait for the sequel? I’m blessed to be able to say “I knew him when…” Congratulations! — Susan
