Kudos

 

… You did a great job with mosaics in general, and our passion for it, and you caught our personalities, our process and the humor, love and respect we have for each other.  It was awesome!

The article you wrote about our adventures really captured the love and enthusiasm that Dick and I have for our travel. We rounded up 20 copies to send to all of our children, siblings, nieces and nephews. Many have commented about how nice the article was and how well you chronicled our adventures.

 

--Virginia Dolder, commenting on the article “Two Tickets to Paradise,” in the June/July 2009 issue of Gainesville Magazine.


 

… I happened to have been out and about and in very much the perfect spot to see the incredibly sensitive piece you did on all four of us.  Kudos to you for a lovely job... I feel truly grateful and proud. Thank you for using your talent to make our story so appealing!

 

Artist Anne Gilroy, commenting on the profile “Mother, Daughter, Mentor, Muse,” in the April/May 2010 issue of Gainesville Magazine


 

It took me longer than it should have to read 50 ESSENTIAL THINGS, though it is a mystery to me as to why – the manuscript is in excellent shape … I may be jumping the gun a bit here, but I was wondering if you’ve got any other book ideas up your sleeve. It’s a pleasure to work with an author whose first drafts are so polished, and I’m anxious to find something else for us to do together.

I very much enjoyed your piece on stress in the second issue of FAME. I’m interested in the subject but have read so much about it that I was not initially drawn to the article. But I was flipping through the magazine – which is new to all of us – and so I dipped in here and there. I found myself reading your entire article and obviously when that happens I know it’s because the writer is a good one. … If you are not represented and might be interested in taking on a book … I’d be pleased to hear from you.
