Reader's Thoughts




     What do my readers say about my writing? They are very nice people because they say nice things to me. I deeply appreciate everyone who reads my work. Generally, their comments have been warm and happy.
     One reader said, “Man, your villains are really evil!” I am glad he felt that way. It was my intention to make them over-the-top awful. If you think the bad guys in The Revolutionists are twisted, wait until you meet El Diablo in the sequel The Reconstructionists. He is one warped dude!
     A woman reader told me that she felt The Revolutionists was written for men, and I suppose there is an appeal underlying the action and the battles between the protagonists and antagonists. But another woman reader said, “I like the relationship Michael Stonebreaker has with his wife, Joan, and the depth of his feelings for his family, particularly his brother.” She is right about Michael's character. He is a stand-up guy for real; he demonstrates love, morality and goodness in how he regards and treats others. You’ll find out even more about how much he cares about things that matter in The Reconstructionists.
     One of my favorite comments came from another woman reader. She said, “Gee, I wish this story was true. It would solve a lot of problems in this country!” Yes, but it is fiction…we all know it…but what if...?” Well, I’ll leave that up to other people, and let you draw your own conclusions. I had a lot of fun writing it!
     A man said that he had a little trouble accepting that such a secret organization like the one in the book could remain anonymous for so long, or that anyone could construct such an amazing facility in such an unlikely setting…but that’s fiction, folks. Suspension of belief is part of the fun, and the vast majority of readers have really enjoyed The Revolutionists.
     Overall, the timeliness of the book is almost scary. The Revolutionists is definitely a story for the times we live in, where the people and government are at such intense odds. In book two, The Reconstructionists, Michael Stonebreaker and company tackle --and solve-- the immigration problem and the crisis on our southern border. Sure, it's fiction, but I think it's pretty close to the answers millions of Americans come up with in casual conversation everyday. I love the credibility of the characters in these books, and they've really begun to take on a life of their own. The Reconstructionists is coming soon, and book three is now underway!
