“LIVING WRITE…is chock-a-block full of wonderful, practical and off-beat advice for writers. It’s a book every writer should read to get their creative juices not just flowing but bubbling to the top with enthusiasm.” –Mahala Church, Professional Editor

“Your books are changing my life. Thank you for all of your advice – you’re such an inspiration!” — Nicole Mathew

“I just finished reading Thinking Write last night, and immediately started reading it again. There’s way too much stuff in there to “get it” the first time.  I am using some of the techniques you suggested in the book, and have seen a vast improvement in my mood and my optimism. I’ve also attended your workshops at the last 2 Moonlight and Magnolias conferences. Amazing stuff you teach. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.” –Cheryel Hutton

“Looking for inspiration this evening … found just what I needed in the pages of ‘Thinking Write.’” — Carol Polakowski

“THINKING WRITE [is] an excellent book on how the subconscious and conscious mind work. Although I was familiar with the content from Psychology, I needed to be reminded again of the power within me to accomplish what I want to achieve. I recommend this to writers on the brink of writing and established writers who’ve had setbacks and obstacles, as well as those who want to move up to the next level. I also recommend it to anyone who wants to harness the power of their own mind to achieve their goals. There’s powerful stuff here.” –Susan Sullivan, published author

“I can’t tell you how much TIME TO WRITE has helped me. There were so many things that rang true in it and so many strategies that it is the best book I’ve ever read. I have a ‘burning desire to write’ fiction for teenagers and you and the writers’ you interviewed have shown me the way. No more self-sabotage for me! Thank you so very very much.”   –Donna Lee Austin, Australia

“I picked up a copy of Time to Write. It will be a very helpful book for inspiring not only wanna-be writers who keep making excuses for why they don’t find time to write, but us pros too who often aren’t as efficient with our time as we want to be. I’ll certainly recommend the book to fellow writers.”   –Bruce Most, professional writer

“I just wanted to say how motivated I am by your book. I have always wanted to write and now I truly feel like I can. I have started a novel and have tons of ideas for more. I take notes and keep organized, it has really changed me. Thank you for writing such a book”.   –J. Goodwin

“One of the most inspirational and motivational books I’ve read in quite some time, TIME TO WRITE got me up off the couch and into the writing chair with more of a clear purpose and sense of adventure than I’ve had since graduating. I loved this book.”   –K. Miller

“I am a member of a book club and we recently began reading Grave Secret…the book has been amazing…I love how it’s so easy to be so caught up in the book that it’s like you are right there watching a movie as each part is played out, which makes it really hard to put the book down and not get ahead of the rest of the group!” –Stephanie G.
