AUTHOR'S COMMENTS:

Shirley, you reviewed my novel recently and I just have to tell you, first of all, how much I appreciated you kind words. I certainly value your opinion. Secondly, I wanted to tell you that I've gotten a lot of mileage out of one of the sentences you used in the review. "DL Edwards has a talent for suspense." I have used that with your name after it in press releases, flyers, interviews, everything. I'm even having new bookmarks made up so I can use it. Thanks again, I'm so glad you enjoyed SWEET DREAMS and I can't wait to finish the next novel so I can send it to you! DL Edwards

DL Edwards, author Sweet Dreams

Dear Shirley,

I trust you're well. thanks so much again for your review of Letter to Maya. it was incisive, thorough and professional. I also appreciated the length. irrespective of how positive a review is, if it looks and reads like just a few blurbs it is not persuasive to the discerning reader. people want to know the basis and justification for a review which you so eloquently displayed so a reader has a real insight into the book and why they should consider buying it.

(UK author)

Thank you Shirley for your most generous review of my fantasy novel, Jerome and the Seraph, and your kind remarks about the characters. I’m so glad you enjoyed reading about the friars and about Brother Jerome’s problems in the afterworld. I’ll be contacting you as soon as the sequel, Angelos, is out in print in 2005. I’m truly grateful to you for a most heartening review.

Shirley....

Thank you for your insightful and delightful review of Going Deeper -- How to Make Sense of Your Life When Your Life Makes No Sense. I look forward to seeing it posted on your web site and to its positive impact in helping others discover why their personal lives and world conditions have become so unbearably chaotic.

Based on what other authors shared, your reviews appear to have major clout in the publishing world. How would you suggest that we work with you to better promote this title through your various resources?

In light and love,

Jean-Claude Koven
