Each morning I read my wife, Micheline, a chapter or two of Requiem for a Redneck and this morning we finished Preacher.  I just wanted to tell you again how much I appreciate your talent.  The book is extremely well done. I read it with envy.  I am particularly impressed at how successful you are in doing chapters which can stand alone yet are successfully woven into a complete story.  Congratulations. Keep telling stories.

I just wish to tell you how much I enjoyed your book, John! You and Dekie have done a great job with it.

I took it to bed with me last night and read the entire book! As you know, I was born in the little railroad community of Berwin. Both my Couey and Sanders grandparents live in that area around Bells Ferry etc. My great uncle Deo Johnston owned and operated the ferry for the greater part of his life. In reading your book, I could almost identify your "good ole boy" characters. 

I had a friend pick up three copies of the books for me today. Tell John he got them at the liquor store!  He is a Baptist minister and got a kick out of that.

John, I just finished reading your book and really enjoyed it!  I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to read one that you can't put down 'till it is finished.  Great stories.  Have a Merry Christmas and let me know about any future projects.

The more I think about it, I feel your book addresses society's need to be more accepting of people who have their own genre.

Received the book from John and loving every word.  I feel like I am sitting across the table and listening to him.  Mic is biting at the bit to start it but I have been hogging it.  Just one more PM with it and I'll be finished.

John, just finished your book... you can write.  You have a remarkable talent.  Please have another book in your head.

Stayed up until 12:30 to finish your book the other night. That says something. So, it’s a good read. My favorite scene was the wedding party. It sorta transcended storytelling and went to somewhere else. This from a visual person. Congrats.

You have done it!  I am enjoying your book.  Wonderful characterization, great dialogue, touching scenes that resonate with my own redneck roots.  Can a Georgia boy be anything but a redneck in his soul if he's honest about it?  I don't think so.

Congratulations, John.  You done good.

John,
    Just wanted you to know I finished reading your book last night and
enjoyed it very much and expect the recipients of the other copies to enjoy
the story too. My sister's husband, who is getting one of the books, was the
Director of Family and Children's Services in Johnson County, GA., so I
suspect he can relate quite well to some of the problems in it.
    A THUMBS UP for sure.
