Isn’t it refreshing to hear kind words?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My novel, Milk Money<\/strong>, which was published years ago, is out of print. Milk Money was published by Barbour, a Christian publisher, and it was distributed all over the world. I even had a fan to state she’d seen it in an Australian bookstore (Koorong). I received the rights back to that story (meaning Barbour allowed me to publish it on my own since they no longer had any use for it). I republished Milk Money<\/strong> and re-titled it as Milk Chocolate Kisses<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also revised Milk Money<\/strong> and made it more current – before publishing it as Milk Chocolate Kisses<\/a><\/strong>. Anyhow, a reader recently acquired Milk Money<\/strong> and she sent me this wonderful email which I’ve been encouraged to share:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Ms. Dowdy,<\/em><\/p>

At my church we have a book exchange box that several of us share<\/em><\/p>

our reading material. I picked up \u201cMilk Money\u201d on Sunday and stuffed in<\/em><\/p>

my purse to read while my mechanic changed my oil and filter yesterday.<\/em><\/p>

I began reading while waiting \u2013 he finished too quickly! I marked my place<\/em><\/p>

and as soon as I got home I picked it back up. It\u2019s the first time in many<\/em><\/p>

months that I really didn\u2019t want to put the book down. I finally realized I<\/em><\/p>

needed to sleep some but finished it this morning.<\/em><\/p>

I believe this is the first of your books I have had the pleasure of reading.<\/em><\/p>

I loved every part about it. I wasn\u2019t blessed to be a dairy farmer but my<\/em><\/p>

Mom and Grandparents were long before I came along. I grew up in a<\/em><\/p>

small town and attended church all my life. God didn\u2019t send my husband<\/em><\/p>

until I was 26 so I spent much time seeking his will for my life. He sent<\/em><\/p>

my husband along after I had surrendered to be single if that\u2019s what HE wanted.<\/em><\/p>

Thank you for writing this book. I will be watching for more from you as<\/em><\/p>

I shop. May God continue to bless your writing and your witness for the Lord.<\/em><\/p>

Mary<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Such refreshing words! Made me smile today!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
