and an absolute delight. I look
forward to reading many more from this very talented new author” –

“It is my considered opinion that
'Observations' would make an excellent musical. As I read the book all kinds of sets, lyrics and tunes
swirled around in my head. Bessy
is already a singer and she could have some sweet, sneaky and sassy songs. There are is an Ahh, Hahh song for the
Reverend!” – Authortrek.com reader Jan
