Authors LOVE to have people talk about their books. It means we’ve connected with readers. You’re thoughtful to try to avoid spoilers, though. When I write reviews or discuss books in forums I work on that, too.

Amber, I am nearly finished with The Calling; I am so involved with Mae and her many dilemma’s, her sincere code of ethics, and her struggle to make difficult decisions. I am beginning to understand what it means to live in the South and the differences between folks like Hubert, Rhoda-Mae and other neighbors, as well as Bernadette and Randi; they are similar to people in NJ and Philadelphia.
