Feedback from Readers
Over the years, I've had readers give me feedback about my stories. Here's
what a few of them had to say:
"[I am] an ardent fan of yours through reading your novels on the net...
I really appreciate you and your writings... What fascinates me about your writing
is that each of your stories are unique. Even the thought pattern and the characters
are distinct and very much natural. One can almost see the person in one's family
or neighborhood... it's like the story is real..." - Clara (Nigeria, West
Africa)
"Three days ago, my friend introduced me to 'Abigail's Journey'. I remember
her exact words were: 'It is beyond words!'. Not stressing much on what that entailed
and being a passionate reader, I eagerly ventured into page 1 and from there on,
I couldn't find the heart to stop. I was eager to get to the end and at the same
time I dreaded the fact that this novel that captured my heart, mind, and soul would
come to a finale and leave behind it emptiness and an insatiable hunger for more.
For three nights, I lived with Abigail and Jake, and walked through this incredible
journey of self realization, fear, hurt, love, passion, empathy, and most importantly
a reminder of how Good God Is. I cannot begin to relay the emotions that hunted me
so vigorously, smiling at times and crying at others, all of which while nourishing
my heart and increasing my faith in the Lord... May God bless you, and always give
you the strength to empower and inspire others." - Maria
"I began reading Abigail's Journey, and I have to tell you that it is one of
the most powerful stories about love and compassion that I have ever read. That the
grace of God is sufficient in all circumstances, even when it is beyond our comprehension,
is so wonderfully expressed in this story. I didn't sleep at night because my mind
kept revolving around the story and about how our God is a wonderful God who keeps
us in all circumstances. The Bible verses in the story are so powerful. They really
ministered to me. After reading this story, I have been challenged to review my relationship
with the Lord, to see if I would have had the faith to turn to Him in an impossible
circumstance. I would like to thank you with all [my] heart... May the Lord shower
abundant blessings on you." - Esther (India)
"I had just arrived at a UN Mission and I felt very lonely... I have
always read romantic novels and decided to look up Internet love stories... I picked
yours because of the familiar 'Bronte' name... the stories are interesting, different
and very inspiring... I have cried several times and been touched by 'Abigail's Journey'
and 'Some Pass By' and realize Love and Faith can do a lot of wonders. I thank God
for the gift He imparted in you and for your being able to publish these love stories
online." - Liliane (Pristina, Serbia & Montenegro)
"It's so rare to find beautiful stories that really reflect God's grace
and love... so good to read a story not centered around sex but a love that centers
around God... Thanks for daring to be different." - Deborah (Singapore)
"Abigail's Journey is a POWERFUL story... I've been reading the story for a
number of months now and I just had to write you. It's hard to find a good enough
word to describe how much I'm enjoying reading the story as it progresses each month...
I became entranced by the characters... You've done such a great job with the dialog
and characterization. I've really come to care about what happens to the characters
(and not just the main characters either--you've even made your secondary characters
believable and engaging)... You must have divine inspiration for your story."
- A sincere fan
"Wow, I love reading about your characters - they are so vividly real
to me, and to have the stories interspersed with the word of God - well, I am one
happy, grateful cookie! I have had problems in the past with characters becoming
too real for me... My imagination is a bit too good at times. Thankfully, your stories,
despite the feeling that you are somehow watching these people that you write about
from your window, and having fallen in love with each and every one of them, don't
seem to have this effect on me. I believe that because your stories are laced with
the power of the Word of God, my mind is covered by holy protection. Thankyou SO
much for your stories once again. They are absolutely brilliant! ... As one of your
readers, I am grateful that your story lines are not just a rehash and mishmash of
some long-ago read novels. The story of Abigail is quite unique and the characters
so easy to love." - Narelle (Brisbane, Australia)
"May God keep new and fresh ideas flowing down to you... You do have
a wonderful way with each character. I was thinking I bet you have a wonderful relationship
with your parents... to bring these characters almost to life. Keep up the good work.
I want you to know I don't take it lightly that you are letting me read these stories
free, from the bottom of my heart I thank you..." - R.J. (Kentucky)
"I love your stories... You truly have talent and it is good to see
that you are using it... I love how you just keep it pure..." - Tammy
