Don't know if you've had a chance to read this yet, Jennifer, but it really is a good read. I am honored to have had a small part in it.
Blessings on your own writing journey!

I look forward to reading this book. I've read several books that Terry Burns has written and he has an unique voice.
I also find his books useful for Christmas gifts to various male members of my family.
And I love his persona, especially the Roy Rogers ties.
Thanks for posting this, Jennifer, and I'm glad he's your agent.
Maggie, I haven't had a chance to read it. I have one of Terry's other books on my shelf in my TBR pile from a Dallas Conference a couple of years ago. That is how far behind I am. I'm looking forward to diving into his books, though!
PS-I've been having some eye issues as well. The doctor has put me on new drops and I'm spending too much time on the computer for my day job. They've been painful this past year.
AJ,
Judging by Terry's blog posts and articles, he definitely has a unique voice. When I first met him in Dallas a few years ago, he made such an impression on me. He's so down-to-earth, easy-going, and SHY! He'll tell you that, himself.
I'm glad he's my agent, too! I love working with Terry!
