WOW! Shirley, I am taken back with all of the wonderful publicity. After showing your review to the Florida State Parks people, they agreed to sell the book in their park stores. Since my book review by Allbooks has been on the MIDWEST REVIEW thanks to you, I have received orders from Kansas. After calling Southern Living magazine and informing them that I had an Allbooks Review, they told me to send it to them and it was published. Wow! It is amazing how effective your program really is. I am blessed to have signed up with you.
Thanks for all of your help!

Hi Shirley,
There are no words to say how connecting with your site and you personally have made a friendship.
You help authors day in and day out but you should hear how much it is appreciated. Without you, we stay an unknown.
Sincerely,

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

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.

Dear Shirley,
Your review of my mystery debut, LOST IN THE IVY, made for a special Halloween treat. Succinct but still spirited, the review captured the essence of my story about one man's search for self.
Also, I appreciated the extra touch of your "Reviewer's Note."
Thank you for reading my book and bringing it to life in your review.
Sincerely, Randy Richardson

We received the hard copy of your review, Shirley and I both wanted to let you know how much we appreciate the thoughtfulness of your words. It is obvious you have experienced the book (which I believe one must do to appreciate it.) In short its a great review, and your personal comments were the icing on the cake, thank you.
Please let me know what other sites and or publications you submit the review to. I know you review for Midwest Book Review as well, James speaks very highly of you. I mentioned to him you were reviewing the book independantly and he is in hopes you will submit your your review to Midwest as well.
Also we will be taking advantage of your sites promotional opportunities as we have budgeted for this in next months advestising allowance.
Best Regards and Blessings, Robert

Dear Shirley, I just received your reviewer's glowing review of The Spiral Bridge. I'm humbled by the words of Rebecca Henderson. I posted it today on my website. I wait now for an equally generous review of the sequel, The Twins. Thanks so much. Al
