It makes my day when I get an email from someone who has read a book and enjoyed it. Some of those comments are posted (anonymously) below. Please feel free to email me your thoughts, or add a comment below.

“This is what a whole lot of people have been clamoring for in Christian Fiction. Not only did I snarf it down, but my non-book reading husband glommed onto it. Fortunately, he worked late the next night, and left the book at home so I curled up in my bedroom and finished WAKING LAZARUS. He doesn't read as fast as I do and I've gone to sleep the past two nights with a bedside light shining in my eyes.”

"I just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed your book THE DEAD WHISPER ON, and I absolutely loved your character Keros!"

“We were staying at a relative’s house the night I finished the book. My three-year-old had to sleep on a couch in the front room, near the front door. When I finished WAKING LAZARUS, I said to myself, ‘You know, I don’t really want to leave my child alone in this room. I will sleep here on the other couch.’ Books rarely have that effect on me.”

"I just finished the new book THE DEAD WHISPER ON. I thoroughly enjoyed it and could not wait to turn the next page. Thanks for the wonderful novels."

“I got WAKING LAZARUS yesterday. Started reading it around 4pm...10:30 pm I was DONE! If that book doesn’t get some kind of award, I’m gonna slap the book industry upside the head. I think that’s a new record for me for finishing a book. It’s number one on my personal ‘Buy this book’ recommendations for this year. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“I have never enjoyed a book so much since Alistair MacLean’s suspense novels. I have read thousands of books and seriously thought that since I had became disenchanted with ABA books because of tone or foul language, I thought I was doomed to a life of mediocre or saccharine sweet books in the CBA. Thank you. Remember what you did and do it again.”

“Just read WAKING LAZARUS. Got it at Groton, CT library. My wife is reading it now. As a retired Baptist pastor and avid reader, I must say that this is one of the best books I’ve read. Unpredictable action that keeps moving from beginning to end. I hope Jude will rise again in a sequel.”

“Just finished WAKING LAZARUS and had to comment. It is an AWESOME book! The tale you weave is flawless! Can’t wait for book #2.”

“I didn’t want to put it down--and in fact didn’t yesterday. Anyway, I just wanted to congratulate you on such a great novel -- you surely have a gift and it really challenged me to make sure I am using the gift God has given me. I’ll be telling anyone who likes fiction to pick this one up!”

“Just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how much I LOVED your book. It's the first book in a long time that has kept me up that late reading. I've already shipped a copy off to my father-in-law, and I RARELY send him Christian fiction (has to be very well written, suspenseful, and not preachy--you qualify for all three).”

“Just wanted to let you know, I got my copy of WAKING LAZARUS and just finished it. Took me a mere three days I was so into it. I have to say--and I mean this sincerely--this is the best novel I’ve read this year. And because I’m an aspiring novelist, I read a lot of novels. Usually two to three a week.”

“You have a WINNER in this book. It is the best book I’ve read in years and years. I actually found myself deeply caring about these characters and that hasn’t happened since ICE STATION ZEBRA. In all the books I’ve reviewed, I’ve never emailed the publishing house…until now. I’ve never, ever held my breath while reading a book except once in SPHERE… until now. Great read. I want more like this one.”

“This is a book that should garner rave reviews even as readers flock to get their hands on it. I think it is a Big Book, the kind that will be around in 50 years and will make TL’s name one that trips off the tongue in many households. The kind that CBA should be putting out.”
