"What a wonderful story! (A Life to Live For) I enjoyed every word of it.  Thank you for sharing it with us. You are such a gifted writer."

"I really hadn't realized what a wonderful writer you were until I read the book. I mean I love your ezine and web articles... but with more room you really were able to soar."

"You are a terrific writer! Can't wait to see more! "

"It's everything I imagined it would be and I'm just thrilled with my copy! - so great to have and to hold!!! It's a very attractive book, and a nice size as well -one that I can easily tuck and have on hand to refer to and read whenever and wherever. "

"...your advice has given us excellent assistance in keeping our canary alive! The advice of other 'experts' nearly killed him, including two vets who did NOT know about canaries, and gave us dangerously wrong advice."

"I thoroughly enjoy FLock Talk! Yours is the first pet bird publication that actually offers useful advice, and provides correct information! As a biologist and self-proclaimed bird nut, I really appreciate that!"

" ...We hope it reaches every pet owner and makes them sit up and take notice... bless you for the excellent job you are doing educating bird owners."
