I have received really great e-mails from some members of the armed forces over in Iraq and Afganistan saying my Hawk's Legend series had given them some escape from the daily stresses and thanked me for posting them for free.
   It is we that should be thanking you for all you're doing for this great country of ours. I'm glad I was able to contribute a little to your R&R. Stay safe and may you all come home soon!
   Most of the posts are replies to questions and comments. I've omitted all or most of the origonal mail due to space constraints.
Again, thanks for taking the time to drop me a line and let me know what you think of this project.

   From L.H.   There has been a few emails on this topic, so I'll try to answer it the best I am able.
   I write as a hobby and have several other projects.
Getting published is really a hassle I didn't care to get into as Publishing companies, won't even talk to you unless you have had a work published or have a literary agent.  Agents say they take new clients, but really don't want to read your work, unless you have had other works in print. So finding one that will look through the roughness of someone that writes for a hobby, is next to impossible.
   I did try about 20 or so, then read the average (on the low side) is about 100 submissions. 
I wonder how many great writers are giving up on their projects. How many great stories are never being read? 
   If only one person reads and enjoys my offering, then so be it. If many do all the better.
So I hope that satisfies, why this project. ;-D
   I prefer a message that you enjoyed this novel (or are in the process of enjoying it) rather than offering to buy it. However as this site is donation supported, donating helps to continue to bring more works.

From R.M, Atlanta.
   Thanks for the great e-mail RM. It's nice to hear form readers. Glad it gave you something to do during your commute.
You guessed it, I do not have a professional proof reading service (did all the typo's give me away ;-) That's the biggest time consuming part of writing, I have three novella's in various stages. They are all done, but in need of proofing. I have three more planned, but not even near print (because of the back log of proofing needed to be done yet)

From Sarah H,  
   I just wanted you to know that I've read your books and I think they're awsome. 
My Mom turned me on to you and boy was she right.  I've never been much of a
reader before but your stories have really opened my mind to reading and I thank
you for that.
   Well gotta go now, I should be going to study lab and getting ready for my next
Nursing test but I'm going to download your newest book right now and dig right
in instead.
   A Big Fan
p.s. I hope you get this e-mail personally and not some assistant or someone
because its important to me that you know that your the bomb.

Good luck on your career....RT

   Annon: Thanks for the professional comments. As mentioned I have no formal typing and seems I do have a penchant for typos. (My mind usually is running about two sentences faster than my fingers)
   You are the second book reviewer to contact me and like the first, I'm glad you really like the various works of mine. 
   I probably couldn't afford a professional editor and without one, doubt if an agent would be interested in my works with all the typos ;-) But thanks for writing (and comments)

   Ok looks like I had to add this one: (shortened due of length)

   I'd love to see Frozen Earth made into a movie. I'd like to see your trilogy made into a mini series too. Not sure about Sandwedge or Infinitive thought, but I'm reading "Gateway" and looks like it would make a great flick.

   Looks like you're a videophile Lou (I am as well) Lol, to be sure I'd love to see any of my works made into a film, series, etc. (not to mention the money)

      Thanks you for creating your free site. My fellow Marines and I have spend many hours reading your e-books when we can.
Many of us download as much reading material as we can before heading overseas.
A lot of the areas we go into do not have Internet connections so we upload as much as we can to our e-readers, I pads and other devices.
I passed my kindle to my squad leader and he gave me his and your books were on it. Now I'm back state side, I had to write and tell you how much we enjoyed your books and to keep up the good work. It sure made a stressful time in my life go a little easier. Some of us have the feeling you were in the military due to the terms you've used in some of your stories and have guessed at which branch. I'm guessing Navy.

   Thanks again, Tom ______ Gunnery Sergeant U.S.M.C.

From one vet (USAF) to another, glad to see you're home safe and sound.... RT.

From Steve in Texas:

    Really enjoyed reading the series....... As with many of the others, I wish
there were more of them to read................. Steve
