Letters From Heroes Yahoo Buzz Comments

Ed Cook's passion for history as a "You-are-there" proposition has resulted in a tremendously moving tribute to our men in arms. The soldiers of these various conflicts came alive for me. It is one thing to read dry accounts of battles and troop movements--how much more moving to read the actual words and thoughts of the soldiers who were there. Be sure to read this book.

The sincerity of our words are soothing and healing to others

Family, I'm in tears as I type these few lines. My co-worker recently lost her mother who was only 54 years old. She died of cancer in October 2008. My co-worker and friend is currently reading Somebody Prayed for Me, and she just called me in tears after reading the story "One Moment With You" and the poem "Always In My Heart." These are pieces dedicated to the memory of my maternal grandmother who raised me, nurtured me, loved me, and taught me about being a strong woman. She died at the age… Continue

Ever read a novel and wonder how the heck the author came up with the idea in the first place? Sometimes the story behind the story is as insightful and interesting as the story itself. This is the story of how my novel, The Ezekiel Code, came to be one of the most unique of it's kind.

Big Day at my Website!

I'd taunted my fans for months - and today, they finally got to read the big announcement concerning the future of my series!

Response has been really positive, although I am sure they are bummed that the final book won't come out until March 2010.

I also updated the site this past week with many new photos, articles and links, and I reorganized the pages.

Mick Rooney's Blog Review 2008

I thought I’d take the opportunity on the final day of 2008 to look back on some of the articles and subjects we have touched on during the year.

While the industry may be finding the going rough, it seems the book buying public,… Continue
