Readers said about 'Sounds of the Sea':

"A talented writer who can artfully craft a heartfelt story and relatable characters."  

Annual International Self-Published Book Awards

"This novel is about Sara's past, and also a lesson in the power of the sea- it calls to us with comfort and peace, but can also cause devastation and heartache. For Sara the sea brought both peace and sorrow, but few regrets.  Sounds of the Sea will bring you hours of enjoyment and reflection, with no regrets."      

Bette S. 

"Cook talks about "the point of no return' in the ocean and there is that same point in the book, where you just have to stay up 'til 4am to finish it!  I absolutely loved it!" 

Jennifer W.

"The story brought back many happy memories and rejuvenated my tired soul." 

Cindy P.

"I think the sign of a good writer is someone who makes me read a sentence over again because I loved the way it sounded, and you accomplished that many times throughout the book." 

K. Schmidt

About 'A Stones Throw From the Sea':

"This novel is a wonderful exploration of human nature and mother nature.  The theme of restoration is seamlessly threaded throughout and the prose is strong and poetic.  The story grants interesting access to a place, conflicts, struggles, and way of life far removed from most, yet the island, characters, and dilemmas resonate and are universal."

Writer's Digest 21st Annual Self-Published Book Awards

"I found myself totally absorbed in the characters, especially Hannah Duncan.  The book contains many beautiful descriptive passages about nature, enabling you to perfectly visualize the setting." 

J. McGrath

"The story is interwoven with familiar bits of life at the shore, and keeps you wondering what will happen next."

K. LaValle

"Your story brought back such loving memories.  I credit my grandmother for making me the caring, loving woman I am as she taught by example how people should be treated." 

C. Calvery

"This story touched my heart and soothed my soul in a very positive way."
