I Thank God for leading me to your book. Your book has aspired me to stop trying to go about life from my own understanding and let God lead the way. I have also learned to listen more closely to my heart and stop running away from what God is calling me to do. I am excited to see that the sequel to your first book will be out in April. Speak to My Heart left me wanting to know more about the characters. Thank You and God Bless you and your family. Happy Holidays! :)

"Speak to My Heart" was one of the best Faith based books I have read. In my opinion, you rank along side Jacq Thomas, Venessa Griggs and Kendra Bellamy, to name my favorites. I related, smiled, laughed, and CRIED. I was hoping for a sequel after Micah said "We need to talk." I am looking forward to reading Nothing But the Right Thing. Please continue letting the Lord use you in this way. God Bless both you and your husband for working in "The Vineyard".

It''s an excellent book, it held my attention from the begining to the end, I was in touch with the caracters. You always know someone who is being abused and will not admit it or if they do, they will not do anything about it; and on the other hand you always know someone who is angry with their mother because of something that happen to them as a child. In the book, Serena was given a second chance with her mother, and that does not always happen in life. Keep up the good work

Hello Stacy. Congrats on your debut novel! To God be the glory! My book club will be reading it for our March 12th meeting. My son saw the book lying on my dresser, picked it up and read it in 3 days. (I noticed he signed your guest book.) Thank you for writing a book that excited my son; he really is expecting another. If you are available to visit my book club, we would be delighted to have you. I''ll write again after I actually read the book.

Hi Stacy, I really enjoyed your book! This was my first Christian fiction book and I am looking into reading more from this genre. Your book was encouraging and it was real. The character weren''t perfect Christians leading this perfect life. Tha tis what I like most. I hope that you do a sequel because I want to see what happens with Serena and Micah, her roomate, etc. Keep up the good work for His Glory

I CAN''T EXPRESS HOW THE NOVEL AFFECTED ME. IT WAS A BLESSING IT IS AS IF YOU HAVE WRITTEN MY STORY AND MADE A FEW CHANGES. I NEEDED THIS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR INSPIRATION AND I THANK GOD FOR YOUR TALENT. THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW BOOKS I HAVE READ THAT MADE ME LOOK AT MY LIFE& MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD.I HAVE SOME WOUNDS THAT NEED TO BE HEALED AND I KNOW THAT GOD WILL HEAL THEM. THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME REALIZE THAT THOSE THINGS I SAID DIDN''T MATTER REALLY DO.

I bought your book going into the holiday season because I was on vacation the week after Christmas. I could not put that book down, I kept saying one more chapter. Your book really hit home. It makes you think about how you treat the ones you love. We are all human and we do make mistakes. We need to forgive just as God forgives us, daily. Life is too short.

Loved your book. Characters so real. I found myself crying with Serena with her mother, Erika and Tawana. While I believe that Serena and Tawana will be ok, I''m not sure about Erika. Waiting for the next book
