Reader Comments About the Book

    "I finished (reading) your novel yesterday. Congratulations!!! It was wonderful. When are you writing more? How long did it take you to write this one? Unbelievable!! I really enjoyed it."

    Your writing is amazing. It has the (apparent) effortless professionalism of a published work - congratulations on your upcoming publication! From what I've read so far, you deserve it!

    I'm impressed. Your first novel, you say? I think it will make it to print, if you can hold the rest of the story up so well as in this first chapter. It's very good and I look forward to reading more. J

    This is wonderful! I can't wait to buy the book!

    I really enjoyed this! Do they really have proms in Ireland? I thought that was just an American thing. Anyway, good luck with the novel!

    Hello Mr. Dixon, I thouroughly enjoyed your piece "Fiddler Crabbe, Chapter 1". Your lyrical description and eloquence wrapped me up and took me to the coast of Ireland to see your story unfold before my hungry eyes. Thank you very much for such a literary treat. I do hope you either post more chapters or let us know when this is published so we may feast upon the rest of this lovely piece.
