GOOD REVIEWS
Brian Clarey, reviewer for Yes Weekly says of THE LAST SPARTAN: "Packed with Plot." And, "...a great summer read."
What Sallee Kelly about THE LAST SPARTAN: An Excellent Read! Held my attention from the first sentence, to regrettably the very last – just did not want it to end. I have and will continue to recommend The Last Spartan to all my friends and colleagues. This book must be shared. I look forward to following more of Frank Kane’s divergences on his way to finding inner peace and redemption from a past he cannot hide from, nor change. A most interesting character…and enjoyable book.

John Saunder's book signing at the Friendly Center Barnes & Noble in Greensboro last night was a rousing success according to store personnel who said it was one of the best signings they've ever had. It went so well, John had to go out to the parking lot and fetch an additional 35 copies from his trunk to supplement the store's stock.
Way to go John! Congrats...now BASK in the feeling of accomplishment and enjoy your reward for a job well done. The Last Spartan is going to provide excellent summer reading for a lot of people.

Got a call from a mom in Florida who explained that she had been reading Jill Downs' book The Awakening of the Heart over the phone to her son in prison. The son had only five minute phone privileges so it was slow going and the son was loving the book. She explained that the prison rules forbade her from sending him a copy of the book, but that he could receive a copy directly from the publisher. We were happy to oblige. Very cool.

Luella by Melinda Braun got a nice review in Mankato State's review periodical, The Corresponder. Reviewer Teresa Bolstadt said, "Braun's watercolor and ink illustrations are sure to keep a child's attention with their elaborate details and often humorous depictions. The text is easy to follow and would make a great read aloud bedtime story.

Amazon just ordered the very first copy of The Last Spartan by John F. Saunders. The best "review" I've heard about this book, so far, was from an employee at the printer who "just happened" to nab a PDF of the entire text. "I read it every day during my lunch. He (Saunders) did a great job. Frank Kane is a great character."
Congratulations John and good luck on the TV and radio shows coming up in June in Greensboro.
Saunders is scheduled on two of the top morning drive shows in Greensboro. One of them, Murphy in the Morning, has a huge market share. He's also scheduled on the morning shows of FOX TV and Channel Two.
The national launch of the book is June 12th at the Barnes & Noble store located in the Friendly Center in Greensboro.

Once again, it is spring and time for fisher-folks to start studying up on catching the elusive trout. Jay Thurston's book Following in the Footsteps of Ernest Hemingway is again aiding those who seek a greater understanding of our slippery river cousins. Here's a recent comment:

One reason we're proud of books like Kat's Magic Bubble and Luella is that they put the focus on children. Got yet another interesting email yesterday from one of our authors who is an emergency room physician. He said, basically,
"Been a bad weekend, had to live through seeing an eight-year-old who suffered 3rd degree burns over his entire body. Only the soles of his feet were unburned. What matters in life is your children, your wife, your friends, your family."
Experiencing such trauma changes you permanently forever. It is a good thing that Kat's Magic Bubble and Luella remind us of the beauty of children, wives, friends, family, and faith.

Following in the Footsteps of Ernest Hemingway and Out of the Rainbow
Waller Wampus at the Farmer's Market:
"Congratulations on a fine book indeed for young people. I so enjoyed reading about the adventures of the Musketeers. What I liked most of all was your ability to teach an important life lesson in a subtle way through the Musketeer's escapades. I wish you much success with,Out of the Rainbow."
