I suppose I could do a video to go along with it so you can hear the tone of my voice and see the expression on my face, but that would take additional time out of my day, and I am hoping to get some writing in. I mean this to be given in a pleasant tone with a smile on my face. You will probably detect some frustration sin

I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your books...they truly are amazing. In the last week I have read six of your books and loved everyone of them. I currently own 14 and won't be happy until I have read them all.

Your books are amazing & SO beautiful!

I first read 'A Bride for Tom' then, 'A Husband for Margaret' and fell in love with both of them!

Can't wait to read more!
