Readers Comment on 'The Book of Hours'

I just started reading The Book Of Hours, and am overjoyed to have found your writing and books. I can't seem to put this book down; it's rich with culture, scenery, and you tell the story so well with each character's traits.

My Response:

Welcome to my readership. This the first time I have used these words. It's a little odd, like a formal greeting to a new clan member. It's grand to know you connected so enthusiastically to your first story.

If I could make a suggestion, other fans of The Book of Hours have written to say how much they enjoyed two other books in particular, My Soul To Keep and All Through The Night. Again, thank you for writing.

The Book of Hours was so interesting, and when you begin to reveal the intimacy of Jesus to each person, it was so beautiful I wept. Especially at the powerful, prayerful ending.

I think the bells should still ring in every town around the world on the hour until the Lord's return.

For those of us who are alone, books like your provide adventures we long for in a positive experience. We may only have your books as the means to interact with characters we relate to.

The detailed descriptions are astonishingly precise and we are transported right into the places and conversations. So please, know what a service you provide and the many joys you remind us of.

I picked up The Book of Hours at a discount store thinking it looked pretty good. I read it three times and it is still having an impact on me. I have read thousands of books and some seem to have more of an impact than others, but this one just will not let me go.

I have always liked to read and when I am in the mood I read anything in sight, but for some reason this book has haunted me. I loaned it to my daughter and I know that she will probably have it for several months before she reads it. I just hope she likes it as well as I did.

The Book of Hours was given to me by my daughter-in-law as a Christmas present. I have always loved novels, especially novels of English history. I love to travel and tour England. Always been enthralled by stories of King Arthur and ancient England. My heart's desire would be to spend some time in one of the small towns in England and get to know the people who reside there. I have plans to go to the library and find more of your novels!

I absolutely love this book. I have read it and reread it. I thought I would see if it was offered as an audio download and it is not. It would be nice to listen to while traveling or just relaxing. Do you think that will happen?

My Response:

What delightful notes. I have recently started sketching a new story in the same vein as Book of Hours, and to receive these lovely thoughts really does help the work move with joy.

To answer Caroline's question, it is unlikely that a book that has been out this long (nine years and counting) would have a group make an audio version. This normally happens right around the same time that the book is released.

Hopefully you will be able to find similar joy in one of my other titles that is offered in audio version.

Thank you all again for writing.
