My historical fiction, Song of Jaybird, has been published for about two months. Since then, I have received texts, emails, phone calls, and personal letters from my readers who shared their reviews. Here are some of the highlights!
“I liked the way you used knowledge from your research to tell a compelling story about the hardship of surviving early-day turpentine camps.”
“It was excellent! I really loved the story, character development, and the history you wrote about.”
“It started out great and got better with each page.”
“I thought it was wonderful! You did an excellent job capturing life in turpentine.”
“Your descriptive writing helped me picture the scenes created.”
“It was a pleasure to read your wonderful book, and I learned a LOT!”
“Your research is amazing! Excellent Job!”
“I felt like I was standing in Delia’s kitchen, your descriptions took me there!”
“This is a story that must be told regarding the peonage system during this time of history.”
I appreciate the feedback and reviews from my readers so much. The one comment I have gotten repeatedly is the amount of research that brought this story to life!
