"I was deeply impressed with your writing and even the subject matter of this particular story. How one would even think of a story of personal development, sacrifice and love all being told around handcuffs is amazing in itself."

"I just love happy endings. And especially happy endings that are "earned" in the sense of being a true completion of the work rather than a cheap slight of hand. Your insights into normal behavior and adaptation are both instructive and useful."

"Proof that a story can be written today without a load of sex or foul language and still capture the imagination and hold the reader's interest."

"Great story, this one was firing on all cylinders. Fantastic new characters surrounded by familiar Spearfish Lake alumni. The plot line was magnificent, the writing amazing. I can't see anything to complain about with this story."

"There was a lot of humor in this story, enough to make it irresistible once I started. The character development was beyond superb. "

"You've really rung the bell on this one. You squeezed every last bit of feeling, of interest, out of it. Well done!"
