Click here to send your comments. Tomorrow May Never Come and Ladies in Waiting are two of the best Christian fiction novels that I have read this year! Keep up the good work and may God continue to bless you! Sherri TN Ladies in Waiting, is an awesome novel. I checked it out at my local library & finished it in 2 days.

It was well written and full of excitement. Keep on writing and I can't what for the sequel and I will be spreading the word. Ruby Bronx, NY I have read and enjoyed many novels, but yours touched my heart. I know that it was only God that directed me to randomly pick your novel,"Tomorrow May Never Come" up. I went into the store for one thing but the only thing I purchased was your book. When I walked past it ....it seemed to call my name. When it took a closer look at it the cover drew me in even more. Then I read your dedication to your father.....it made me smile because I have one of the most wonderful dads in the world. My eyes filled with tears of joy at the validity that "anyone can be a father, but not everyone can be a daddy." I finished reading your book today. I really enjoyed it from "cover to cover" I enjoyed the story line, the flow of the book, the color and believability of the characters, and your ability to get your point across with using vulgar profanity. (refreshing,,,smile) as most authors do. What I enjoyed the most was the spirituality, the reference to scripture, prayer, God, and His amazing forgiveness and love. I felt such a sense of peace and light- heartedness as I read even the most heart stirring passages in the book. Your writing is truly God inspired and ....your ministry. Stephanie Lykes-Scoggins Inglewood, CA I have enjoyed your book Desperate Deceptions. Shadee St. Kitts, WI I recently read Tommorrow May Never Come I absolutely, positively, and doubtlessly loved this book.

Back in the summer I purchased the 4 "At Your Service" books and of course they are all by my favorite authors.

Finally I decided during Christmas vacation I was going to read those books no matter what.

Finally with everyone gone I have read day and night to finish the book as you have done it again. Thank you for this story that shows its true that what GOD has for you, you will have no matter the obstacles. The story renewed my faith to know this.

Willie Mae Flood I have read a lot of your novels including Desparate Deception, Fire Beneath the Ice, Top Secret Rendezvous, Soulful Serenade, Prisca I am currently reading, Tomorrow May Never Come. Your wisdom and ability to translate life onto paper is nothing short of miraculous. Your life is a testimony that I can appreciate. I too have ties with the military, have experiences of family members with Lupus and have a desire to inspire others to live their best life with God. Your before-and-after point-of-view, as demonstrated in this novel, has given me courage that truly life is worth living if you seek God's kind of Love. Situations and circumstances must not dictate your attitude, but God's love should always determine how we view the opportunities that life will present. I am blessed by what you have written. Your novel has shown me how to emotionally mature and how to change a negative behavior into a positive one. The depths of my soul cries out because reading your novel has restored my hope and faith in who I can choose to be. Thank you for offering choices for the here and the now.

The fact that God allowed Jesse to go through "hell" for the sake of one soul being saved is truly a testimony!!! The out come of that sacrifice blessed so many!!! Just as God gave His son, a HUGE sacrifice, for all of us. I am not sure what or who inspired you to write this novel but I will recommend this to all I know. The Holy Spirit can use your talent to witness to many women today. May God bless you and please continue to allow God to use the talent He has given you. Victoria L.

I can't wait to read your other good works. Tunikia Uniondale, NY I am truely a fan of your writing. I have always loved to read and my passion in life is to one day write a romance novel. I started reading one of your books, Island Interlude, at work and I couldn't put it down. It had totally mesmerized me. Craig's love for Sambrea was completely out of this world. To think that you could conjure up all of this love coming from him to have for this woman, was outstanding. I could only dream of being able to think up of a man in a novel that I will write one day to have feelings for my heroin in that way. lashanda Hi Linda, just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your books & all the other romance novels by black authors. It is definitely a cut above. Harlequin has nothing on you. I loved One Moment in Time but my favorite is Island Interlude. I have read this book at least 3 times (from the library), but I love it so much I will purchase my own copy. Keep up the good work and May GOD continue to bless you. I've read the synopsis of Sass & I'm just waiting for it to hit the shelves. Cynthia M. Hubbard I just started reading romance novels(black) and I tell you One Moment in Time is my favorite so intense. The most intimate book I have read so far, but you know you will have to do a sequel for Camden and Denise...... Can you top this book?? Drakkar and Tarynton deserve each other's love.....Drakkar is a man of many suprises a man that takes charge and does any and everything to please his Woman and stand by her side..... I'm spoiled by this book it had me in tears sometimes, but happiness in the end. I'm looking forward to reading another romance book of yours. Continue writing these fabulous romance novels. Madelyn Hartfield I think you are a good writer. Keep up the good work!!! Stacie Scott Houston, TX I posted a review on amazon.com in response to ladies in waiting. It goes something like this "there is no wisdom without understanding, no understanding without wisdom..." Yes there are many messages between the lines of your book and I hope that many will take heed to what you're trying to say. I will be waiting, as always, on that support group in new york city! Denise Barnes Brooklyn, NY Thanks for writing another beautiful novel. I enjoyed the romance of Tarynton and Drakkar.

These are all characters that you can keep making novels about. I would love to know about married life with the couple,and the possible connection between Camden and Denise.

Lisa I just came across your post on the Black Living web site announcing your new book "Ladies in Waiting" and I must say I just finished the book last month and it was truly a book that reflects the lives of a lot of Africian American women in one way or another. I could truly relate. Some wonder why the lines of prisons are so long and why many women put up with the drama. I guess that's a question that'll have to be answered by each person because everybodies story may be the same, but down deep they are so different. But with sooo many black men in jail and so many women left behind... "waiting" on hope alone the saga continues... Thank you for giving some insight and level of respectability to those of us who have been and are currently "Ladies in Waiting"... (I'm one of those "different" women... a professional with no run in's with the law) my story has turned out well so far, but I will never forget those visits... which I truly didn't understand until thrust into the fire. Keep up the good work... jacque oakland, ca I,m writing you to let you know that I really enjoyed the novel of LADIES IN WAITING.It really touched home for me, being from chicago and growing up in the HENERY HONER PROJECT,S I have expeienced on first hand whither it was my own,my friends or even one of my family members.

Linda, You,ve done a terrific job on writing Island Interlude. I will be reading more. First time reader: Cynthia Henderson Baton Rouge, LA I really enjoyed reading your book, Ladies in Waiting, especially the fact that God is an integral part of it.

Jamie Newark, De I just had to write a quick note of "thanks"! Usually in my free time I'm reading my bible or an inspirational book, but I was in the store a few days ago and was having one of those "Christian Single's" monthly moments and saw Island Interlude and picked it up. Well, once I got home and started reading, I couldn't put it down. I even took a half day off work just to finish the book. It was great. I would like to know if you are planning to have a Part II to it to let us know what happened with the characters you talked about. I bought the book for one reason but totally gained so much more than I set out for. This was the first time I believe I've ever read a novel that displayed black men in such a positive way. It made me have a different perspective for our black men. The characters seem so real to me. I also enjoyed reading it because it didn't contain the cursing that I've found in other authors that kept me from reading novels. I really appreciate you. Once I finished this book, I ran to the store to see whatelse you had on the shelf, well the only other one I found was Desperate Deceptions and was it ever so great. I ran out to 3 stores today and could not find another book of yours. I'm so disappointed tonight that I don't have another one of your books to read, but hope to go to a few other stores tomorrow to get your other books to have on hand when I finish one then I can start on the next one. (I need to study the scriptures tonight anyway!) It will take too long to receive the books if I ordered them so I would rather find a bookstore that has them. I'm not sure what your illness has been but I pray that God continues to bless your health in order to continue to write because He sure has blessed you with the talent of writing. I pray God's blessings on you and your family. Janie Dallas, TX Thank you for writing such a wonderful romance novel. It was very wonderful read. I plan to purchase another one of your novels. Keep up the good work. Hasina Brooklyn, NY I purchased Island Interlude yesterday and have not put it down since. This is one of the best romance novels I have read in a while. Keep up the good work. I look forward to your next release. Keisha Pittsburgh, PA U I just bought one of your books, Island Interlude, to read on a trip that I went on this weekend. Girl, it was go good I just could not put it down. In fact, by Sunday morning I was completely finished w/this book. Everywhere I went, to the mall, or just sitting around, I would take this book out and read while waiting on others to shop!! It was electrifying and soul satisfying!! This was a great piece of work and I felt like the characters (especially Craig) was so real. I hope you find the time to make this one out of a move and keep all of the "steamy scenes". Thanks for making my weekend so satisfying. Keep up the Good Work and you can bet, I'll be look forward to reading some more your "masterpieces" in the future!! L. Thompson I am a person who really does not make time to read. I like to read, but with all of other activities, it keeps me too busy to do so. I just so happened to be looking for a book to read as I relax in the wee hours of the night ,I found your book. I must say, I did not want to sleep, go to work, or anything else for that matter until I got to the end of the book. I took it to work and in spair time if any was allowed I read your book. It took me two days to finish it. I really enjoyed Island Interlude. Just plain fabulous. BRAVO!!! Monica Bonaparte Daytona Beach, FL I just finished reading Island Interlude. I really enjoyed it.

Drusilla Smith Linda, I really enjoy your books, keep them coming. I like how you bring charactors from other books into current books. Are we ever going to know when Hillary Houston & Brandon Blair get married? I really enjoyed Souful serenade. Archie Hughes Girl friend I wanted to let you know that I read your new novel, Island Interlude. This novel was hot from beginning to end. I read it in one day because I couldn't put it down although I had to take short breaks from the reading because of the sizziling episodes. Girl friend you are good I mean really good. I'm sorry I missed your call when you were in Florida and hopefully one day I'll actually get to meet you and shake your hand because you are truly gifted. Now when I see a book with your name on it, I don't read the back I just pick it up and place it in my shopping cart because I know what I'm getting. May God bless you and your family and continue writing these beautiful romances. PS: I wish I could meet a man like Craig Caldwell! Beverly Borders I wanted to let you know how much I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your books, "Ice Under Fire", "Fire Beneath the Ice", "Soulful Serenade" and "Desperate Deceptions". What a great talent you have! They are all outstanding and have given me many hours of reading pleasure; I get so involved in them, I can't put them down! I am just sorry it has taken me so long to let you know how much I have enjoyed them!! And, as I logged onto your Website, I see that you have many more books to be released soon. How lucky for all of us readers who are looking forward to reading them! Hope all is well with you and Rudy. Please tell him "hello" for us! Wishing you continued success in your adventure... Our Love, Jan Reynolds (and John and boys) Hello Linda! You and I have been friends for many years. I read Fire Beneath the Ice and truly enjoyed it. I can recommend it to others and I'm sure your other books have the same passion for life that you do.

Bill Broder Brea, CA U What a GREAT story Forbidden Fantasy was, I truly enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading more of your work. Cydney Bunn I met you at the RomanceSlam Jam 2002 in North Carolina. I came to your workshop and was impressed. I to suffer from Lupus and know the daily struggles just to get going in the mornig. I started developing symptoms 2 months after my daughter was born, but was not diagnosed until 3 years later. That's been 16 years ago. My passion is reading and I have read one of your books. When I returned from slamjam, I ordered the others and I'm waiting for new book. I told my book club all about slamjam and they are looking forward to Atlanta next year. The name of my book club is Book Ends and we meet every third Saturday. I look forward to reading your books and may GOD continue to bless you and keep you in good health.
