Thank you for creating these wonderful characters that, for all these years, have made me laugh, made me cry and have warmed my heart.

I have always loved reading but no book has ever grabbed my heart like Jamie and Claire’s story. I wore out my paperback copies of the first four books. Thanks to my sweet husband, I now have all eight in hardcover! Have a blessed New Year!

All The Best!
Brenda P.

It doesn’t matter how many years between books, stepping into Jamie and Claire’s time and world is a thrill!

I am so looking forward to Bees. I’m not angling because reading each of your books through the the first time is such a joy, once it’s done, I know it will be bittersweet.

Thank you for sharing snippets of Bees these past few years. They are always so much fun to read!

Happy Christmas!

Merry Christmas and hopefully a better New year…Nena Walton Butler

I so enjoy the daily lines and your willingness to give us a taste of what’s to come. Having just read Gaudete I am reminded of Jamie’s own sense of humor and joy in his marriage.

A very tiny nitpick (yes, I have a copy of the Companion) that made my inner Catholic school nun spring to attention. Jamie is wearing the better of his two kilts, I believe, not the best. As I said, a small thing.

Wishing you and your loved ones a safe and peaceful season,

Liz Silva
