I love your books, and one of the things I enjoy most is the dialect and the expressions your characters use. Many of the “old folks” (and some of the not so old folks) we knew when we were first married used those expressions, and being reminded of them takes me back thirty-some years. Thank you for Alafair and for bringing her world to life – and – even though Hornswaggled is just out – please please give us another soon!
With thanks,
Liz Rudolph

My family is from eastern Oklahoma and they talk just like your characters in the book. “I’ll swan” is still used.

I personally love both of your books. Don’t let some young city fella tell you about dialect. :0)

Keep up the great work. Can’t wait to read your next one.

Sincerely,
Pam Morgan
