The good guys are good guys all the way through to a happy ending! But reading an interesting uncomplicated story must take a ton of complicated research, plotting and character development to make the story an uncomplicated read!

Hey. it’s a good thing.

There is no clutter or confusion. . .A clear vision of what the story
is all about that readers can relate to and will most definitely
love and enjoy.

It’s a compliment.

I've always loved your novels and your ability to tell a rich, heart tugging story. It's a great review. Congrats! I received my copy of Dockside last week while I was on vacation, but won't be able to read it until next month (argh!!) As usual, I'm learning the hard way, in the midst of some jaw-dropping revisions to my 3rd novel that have left me both humbled and in awe of how easy you always make it look.

More like I wanted to give her/him apiece of my mind ....but, upon brief reflection, decided I didn't have enough to spare! I sit here daydreaming about maybe being a writer one day when I grow up! ...feeling like your books are incredibly complex, the way you weave the threads of past lives, present lives, differences in families, social strata, a sense of place, the dichotomy of intellect and emotion, etc., etc., etc. ....and I think ....well maybe I could write a little short story or an article or something ...maybe a letter.... Naww! mabe I should stick to my knitting... I got Dockside this morning ...and I am on page 113 ....and this has turned into a marvelous day ...and I know tomorrow will be too! ...Maybe uncomplicated is a GOOD thing...and I just don't get it! Congratulations on the launch - I hope Dockside hits the world like a tsunami! Wishing you everything good! FatherRay I saw that phrase and immediately wondered about the critic’s mental capacity!
