"Thanks for the kind words, Mick. What I like about your reviews is that none of them seem the same and they are so very entertaining. On second thought, maybe the 'literary' world needs more reviewers like you."

"Thanks for your great review of Murder Etouffee. You are a great writer and should have your own work published. Next time you are in Oklahoma, please give me a call. There is a little hole in the wall pub here called VZD's and they pour the best black and tans this side of ... well, Tulsa anyway. Heck, maybe I can even talk a couple of those pretty blondes from my booksigning into joining us. "

- Erin Hart, author of Lake of Sorrows.

- John Burdett, author of The Godfather of Kathmandu

"I enjoyed your review. Well said! Just two points, as a former newspaperman: These Oz health farms/resorts/spas are loaded with Americans because the proprietors advertise in the States. And the news didn't make the local newspaper until page 139 because it only comes out once a week -- no matter what happens! All my very best wishes! John"
