We get a lot of very positive calls and comments on our books from readers, booksellers and librarians and we love hearing what the reaction is to certain titles. A common reaction is usually something like: “Thanks so much for publishing these books. [I, my son, my daughter, a student…etc] loved the book, keep ‘em coming.”
A recent caller though, went a bit further. After commenting on how the students in her library loved these books and kept coming back for more, we asked why she thought they were so popular. She said the stories were great, the writing sharp, but most important? “The stories didn’t feel like they were written by a nun!”
We love to hear your comments. Feel free to drop us a line.
