		<description><![CDATA[I respect you for doing this! While I have not listened to the other audio book I have listened to all of the Outlander series and the Lord John series and enjoyed thoroughly word! Love listening while walking to and from work and while I’m in the Gym. The mind wonders and the does not concentrate on the pain of the workout. It’s great!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I stand guilty by ignorance for voting one time for a book and author I admire. I didn&#039;t pay attention that this voting was for &quot;audiobooks&quot; nor have I read or listened to the opposing book. However, I did only vote once for the love of a book (series) I have enjoyed so thoroughly and have recommended to everyone I know who likes to read. 

I apologize for my ignorance but not for my being a loyal fan.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I dislike these competitions almost as much as I dislike all the &quot;reality shows on TV&quot;.  Not reality at all.  However, there has to be something for everyone (I guess).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#039;s what I do too!  I buy the MP3 and then burn for the car.    I can&#039;t afford a MP3 player for the car yet...so I do it the same way you do.  The first time I heard all Dianna&#039;s books was through the library...but then had to have them for myself to listen to them any time I wanted.  

Dianna, 
What I love about your books is the history that I can absorb while enjoying a wonderful story.  Bless you for all the hard work you put into these books.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It would have been nice to have been able to vote one time, but there was some kind of problem with the website. I, too, hope that Davina Porter will be narrating the next book. Is Written In My Own Heart&#039;s Blood going to be available on audible when the book comes out? I discovered your books on audible.com, and I have been a fan ever since.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Very gracious... This is yet another reason why we not only love the books, but respect the author behind them. You are a most talented woman and it is a pleasure to me to enjoy you both in print and as a person! Hats off to you!]]></description>
