Quotes about ONE SHOT, TWO KILLS

A Barnes & Noble bookseller said:

“This is what is selling.  A female sniper in the U.S. Army!  Great draw!  Great story, good beginning, drew me right in.  I want to know more.” 

RITA-finalist Felicia Mason, KJ’s first-term mentor at Seton Hill University, said:

“During the term, I shared with KJ a telling anecdote.  I was away for a weekend with writer friends and I piped up telling them the story line of a terrific romantic suspense I’d read; but for some reason I couldn’t remember the author’s name or how the story ended.  Later, the writer’s name came to me: it was KJ Howe and the novel I described to them as one of the best romantic suspense novels I’d read to date was KJ’s work-in-progress.  I do a lot of reading.  The stories that stay with me long after I’ve finished reading are the keepers.  ONE SHOT, TWO KILLS is destined to be a keeper.”

“Great job of keeping the pace going…the stakes are life-and-death, which makes success imperative, and the crises and turning points develop logically out of the situation, characterization, and events.  Well done!”
