Mr. Rosenthal,We met at a little cafe in Grand Junction on August 31st, which happened to be my birthday. I work in a library if that jogs your memory. You asked me to tell you my thoughts on your book.
I waited with anticipation for your book Threads West to arrive. Once I started it, I could not put it down. The story is extremely well written and pulled me in from the beginning. Your character descriptions paint a picture so vivid in my mind it is as though I am a fly on the wall in the very room where they are. They really came to life for me and it was as though I knew them. The story line I felt was very well thought out and you crafted a story that clearly shows you have done your homework in the research department and that you have an uncanny glimpse into the human spirit.
Needless to say I have a request in for the second book in the series and my anticipation is even greater. I have recommended this book to anyone and everyone who asks for a wonderfully written thought provoking historical fiction novel. I can only hope that if this book is made into a television mini series, the casting directors, etc. put as much care in bringing this book to the screen as you have done in writing such a marvelous work.
I will write again when I finish the second in the series. Thank you again for taking the time to talk to my husband and myself in Grand Junction. For a person who has loved books since being a little girl, it made my day!
Sincerely,
Cheryl Williams
You seriously never disappoint with your writings.
My thoughts exactly although now I’m anxiously awaiting book three!!! Can’t wait to see what happens next!
