Happy New Year to you all! I’m not entirely sure where 2021 went, but I know a significant part of it was spent at my desk in lockdown, or by choice because I was writing all the words!
Hope you all stay safe and well, and that 2022 is an improvement on 2021 🙂
Hugs, RJ X

Jim Weems says
I literally have almost every one of your ebooks on my TBR…. or in my wishlist, IF I don’t own them already. Just finished reading the Christmas Throwaway (okay, not part of the competition, but come on, it was fantastic!). I have loved every one of your books I have read – so picking one is like asking a mother which of her five children is her favorite (with all five standing there). I will say Always and the Wishing Tree IF I have to pick. As for future releases, keep them coming, all of them, though if you see me begging for spare change or Amazon gift cards, it’s because I spent my last buck on your books!

AAAgh no don’t make me do it, It is just too hard. I had a real soft spot for Lost in Boston and also the Marine and the Gardener. Loved all the single Dad books so looking forward to more of that.

Anne Kirby says
I have enjoyed all the books that I have had the chance to read so far, and am looking forward to catching up on the others.
Thank you so much for your books.
I loved the Boston Rebels series, especially ‘Poke Check’ – Stan’s version of English, at times, made me laugh out loud.
I am looking forward to reading the Boston Rebels Book 4 – ‘Royal Lines’. The thought of the clash of cultures between Marquis Miller and Prince Kaleb will be interesting……😀
deborah lawson says
