Roth, Reporter "I am writing to express my deep thanks for signing the book you wrote, The Dreamzappers, which my best friend gave me as a gift. I was enchanted as I read the book, turning each page, I found the words to be like words from a trusted friend. Of particular intrigue is the simplicity of the truth and how once we grasp this, our worlds and lives can essentially become transformed." - S. Drollinger "I liked what I read. It created a feeling in me that I was aware of all day, a sense of expansiveness, and when I think about it, the feeling still comes back to me. I don't recall experiencing that with anything I've read before. That tells me your writing is communicating an energy beyond the words. "Surprisingly refreshing." - L.
