It’s been so long since I have seen one of your stories, I had misplaced my memory of you as an author. I went back to your page on SOL and it all came back. I have read everything you have posted there and enjoyed it so much, I felt it all deserved 10’s, save two. Thank you for the new story and especially thank you for allow me/us a more tangible/monetary way of saying thank you! Please continue to write. I especially enjoy the British Navy stories, even though I’m a U.S. Marine!! Stay safe and I hope you’re in good health - that way you can continue to write for much longer! Jimd119b63

Another outstanding piece of the Di Rosa universe

As much as I love the author’s forays into historical fiction (and they are fantastic!), his books set in the Philadelphia and Clearwater universes are truly outstanding. I have fallen in love with each and every protagonist and reread them over and over. Please,sir, may I have some more?dzimmerman01

I think it is WAY too short... You left loads of room to keep this story rolling for years to come.

Well written, with a believable plot and compelling characters.

A very pleasant read. I was (briefly) concerned that it might turn into a BTB rant but was pleased when it didn't. Also, it seems that Hiram Gunderson is not the only bait-and-switch artist around; the blurb on SOL makes it seem that Tom would be the protagonist, whereas Iris is the real star! Well done, sir! That probably gained you more readers than a more accurate introduction might have. All in all, well worth the price.
