Early reader comments:


I started EXIT WOUNDS last evening and you should see my red eyes today. I loved it! I think it's your best yet.

Dixie, I'm almost finished with Exit Wounds. I stopped at page 202, because I didn't want it to end yet! It's wonderful.

O'kay, I'm a little upset with you. I had so much to do this afternoon after returning from Norfolk and I thought I would read just a few pages--well, I'm halfway through the book--just couldn't put it down. I think this is your best yet--seems like I remember saying that about "Finding Faith". You just get better and better.

I just completed Dixie Land's latest book. I don't usually read mush or mystery books but took this one on as I was curious, and Sally was still on another book. I thought it very well written. How did you ever create those characters?  I really got into the characters (good sign?) and as a Psychologist wanted to deal with each clinically.
Had a hard time putting it down in my alloted reading time (before I go to sleep)
I'm sure Sally will love it.    D. Farr PhD, Paradise Valley, Arizona


Hi Dixie,
Well, I finished EXIT WOUNDS last night and it kept me up past my bedtime!!  You had me fooled! I never would have guessed................It was soooo  good.!  You had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen. I liked your Ryan character and know who he was named after.  You did a great job, Dixie. It amazes me how you can come up with a story like that, and you have to pull it all together too.          Norma Hammer, Ia.

I thought I was moving along with Finding Faith. I read over 21 chapters yesterday. Verna started Exit Wounds yesterday when I was well advanced into FF. I took a nap on the couch and when I roused, Vern, who is usually in bed before the news, was reading after midnight. She said she just couldn't find a place to quit!  She read 38 chapters!

I lack about 20 pages of having Exit Wounds finshed. It has been a thriller also! Girl, you are so good with your story lines!  Pat S. Arkansas
Did you get my email about how much I enjoyed your book? I started it one morning and kept thinking, just one more chapter. Finally, I heated myself a TV dinner and finished it that night. I couldn't put it down!
