GENERAL COMMENTS

"My niece says you are her new favorite author! She has an extremely busy schedule so she reads a little at a time and shares some of the paragraphs with me. She says she can't wait for more books from you." U'ilani.

"She brought the books to school and had her teacher read them to the class. She then thought the children in Germany and Nigeria, where she is from, should also know these stories so she had her mother send the books back home. I just thought you should know some of the impact your writing has on others. I find your work so uplifting and encouraging, not to mention, just plain ole, fun to read. You are not just entertaining, you are teaching, for there are a multitude of lessons to be learned in your work for children and adults alike." Odey.

"I love receiving your news letters. Thank you for your delightful updates and your inspiring stories." April.

"Discovering your books was one of the good memories [from my trip] Thanks." Patricia, traveler.

"I love the way you write ...your imagery is just perfect and your books are so much fun...it's like jumping into someone's head and hearing their thoughts... Thank you so much for signing the books as well." Julie.

"My son loved your writing workshop. On after the 4th day he said, 'I don't want it to be over, I want to keep writing!' He wrote more in one day of your workshop, than he'd written all summer." Jamie.

"I've read all the books by Ross Anthony. Each one brings wonder and magic back into my life... one of life's simple pleasures, yet there is always a deeper, profound message." Terry, Corporate IT Manager.
