From reader Keith Parish in the USA:Alan, as for me, I *very much* enjoyed one of your ebook . I only have two regrets. First is that I only just now was sent across your path in this life, and second is that I don't know how Jehoiakim's story ends. Rats!! I most certainly did *not* want it to end.
I so very much like his character, what he is trying to do and his struggle to fully understand and embrace what his mission is. It is a good story, Alan and a good start to what I would be willing to bet is still in your head as to what you would really *like* to write about his adventures, his loves, and his nation's struggle to survive (*again*) against all odds. One more thing before I close.
You don't need to worry that you "won't make a difference now" because you already have. You gave me a pleasant couple of hours yesterday as I followed Kim from his office through Milan, to Tel Aviv, and finally Eilat. I could picture the mystery woman (she is beautiful) and feel the grit of the sand on the beach. You have inspired me to find a great story and then, just . . .
The book in question is Aliyah.
After constant sales for nearly two years, my seven books sci-fi series that starts with Sons of Baal has reached 580 e-books sold.
Dear Alan, I have just finished reading The Chronicles of Mark Johnson from cover to cover (you are an excellent storyteller and I didn't want to put it down once I had started). From Julia Petrakis in New York
5.0 out of 5 stars A Journey Of Faith, April 2, 2012By Nanci Maynard "Nanci A Cornelius" (New York City) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nerja (Kindle Edition)
This was an excellent short-short story. In fact, I finished reading it during my commute home on the subway.
The best way to describe this story is: It is a story about faith.
It involves two different men from two different cultures. One White and one Native American/Cree. Both were placed in an extremely dangerous situation and both depended on their faith to bring them out safely.
This wonderfully short story answered the question: "Who do you call on and cling to in the time of trouble?" I expected more, but "Nerja" was so skillfully written additional words would've ruined it.
Short and to the point, this was an excellent and highly recommended read.
