There are a few words that I dislike seeing written, b/c it seems to seer itself in my brain - like a neon light is flashing. You can imagine what those words are. Otherwise I'm not too concerned. I appreciate that Sandra Leesmith clarified her faith and her humbled response. It speaks volumes to her character and encourages me to want to read her work. Believe me, I would be the last to throw any stones. I just enjoy a well written book by a Christian author.

What's considered no biggie in one part of the world is taboo in another so I can see how it would be hard for an author. <br /><br />Loved this book, Sandra. You had me hopping on the suspense. I was sure the villain was one person and then another and then maybe both or every secondary character in the book.

So when you like my book, it humbles me and I feel so honored. <br />I'm glad you wrote the disclaimers. It is obvious that I need to rethink the use of those words. sigh. They aren't really necessary but just make the characters seem more real to me. But I appreciate the fact you warned about them so people who really do get offended won't read this. Or at least are warned. Thanks so much.

Just so you know though, I am a Christian and some of my books have obvious Christian references, all of my books are faith based. I try not to put anything in them like graphic sex or obvious elements that are non-Christian. In other words I write what is classified as sweet romance. Thanks for sharing.
