Mallow
“Just wanted to let you know how much I’m enjoying Devoted to Writing, and how many of your devotionals touch my heart, (and my funny bone.) The writing community is certainly blessed to have this book. I’ve been using it in my devotional time. It has inspired more writing than I ever imagined. Thanks for all the effort you put into it.”
— Ginny Greene, member, Abilene, Texas Writers Guild“Your book, Devoted to Writing, is full of solid, useful, as well as inspirational advice for aspiring writers like me. I appreciate its short format, since I tend to read in snatches. I like the style and content between your writing and Nancy’s. The ‘Write Now’ suggestions are meaningful and specific, good for getting started. On top of that, it’s attractive and a joy to hold.”
— Ruth York, Cisco, Texas, Writers Club“What a truly wonderful devotion book for aspiring writers. I’m not a writer, but I was able to come away with awesome inspiration for everyday life. Your writing is truly outstanding. I say that as a mere lay person, but after all, it is the ‘lay audience’ that an author attempts to reach. It was a genuine privilege to read the book, Devoted to Writing, you and Nancy worked so hard and long to complete.”
— Joyce Leonard, Austin, Texas"Anyone will find this book a treasure of warmth, wit, and wisdom worth reading again and again."
— Dusty Richards, Two-time Spur Award Winner, Western Writers of America“What an undertaking! What a fantastic idea! What wonderful writing by both of you!”

"I wanted to drop you a note to congratulate you on your new book, Devoted to Writing, which you wrote with Nancy Robinson Masters. I know that the publishing of this book has been a long time coming and I am very proud of your efforts and that they have paid off with this beautiful book. I have only skimmed it at this time, but look forward to reading more carefully the writing tips and words of wit and wisdom as they relate to the process of writing."
— Ernest Henderson, Former third grade student, Elementary Principal, Orange Grove, Tx
"I loved your presentation to us about writing books and telling stories. Someday I hope to be a writer as well. Your presentation to us lifted my hopes of being a writer, and I thank you so much because it gave me hope that I might be able to accomplish that dream. If I do grow up to be a writer someday, I'll write a book filled with humor and detail."
—Michaela, 7th grade, Brady Middle School
"Thank you for coming to our library and reading to us. I absolutely loved it! I hope that you can come back to our Middle School . You inspired me and hope that you can inspire other kids into writing more and become an awesome writer like you!"
—Liliano, 7th grade, Brady Middle School
"I want to thank you for coming to our school library and sharing your writing tips. I will try to follow them so I can become a good writer like you."
—Maria, 7th Grade, Brady Middle School"I recently attended a writers' workshop where I purchased a copy of Devoted to Writing. I began reading it that night. When I read Write There With Me, it reminded me of how fearful I feel each time I enroll in a creative writing class. I am intimidated by the teachers who are enrolled. It is helpful to know that they also feel fear. Thank you for sharing your fears and encouraging words."
—C Mckinney, Longview, Tx"One morning recently I read every one of the devotionals you contributed to Devoted to Writing. I just loved all of them and somehow, 'I connected!' From page 83, I liked your idea for defeating my discouragement by encouraging others. From page 25, I was reminded that a handwritten note is a treasure; I should do that more often. From page 111, I was challenged to be more forgiving, but I got a smile from knowing I'm not the only one who proofreads almost everything I read. It just happens; I don't really plan to do it. I really liked your book. Hope you're still writing......"
—Martha Edwards, college friend, Houston, Tx"I'm enjoying the book tremendously. I love to write and have been encouraged by your devotionals. I feel like I'm getting to know you better through the book. It's been a neat experience. Your book, and you also, have inspired me!"
—Kryste Boydstun, friend and fellow Christian, Christoval, Tx"I just read the introduction of your book and the devotional, You Want Me To Do What? I love it! The message is addressing my issue with continuing my education and pursuing a degree in interdisciplinary studies and/or English. I keep thinking age could be an issue, but it's not! All I can do is take one class at a time and continue on my educational journey to see where it takes me and what God has in store for me."
—Marianne Ramsey, friend, Brady, Tx
