| Comments: | Hello, I was introduced to your books and site through my father, Keith Charles. He said you guys worked together in the past. He reffered me to this site because I am the marketing consulant for an upstart independent book publishing house. We only have two books in print currently. I would love to discuss the ways in which you used to sell your books. Did you use any the digitial marketplace or went traditional? What turned out to have the best results for you? I would appreciate your advice greatly. Please contact me by email or cell 301-442-0576 |

| Comments: | My boyfriend has given me an copy of each one of your books (his way of entertaining me - lol). I find your books to be well written and easy to read. "A Flaming Rose" & "The Meeting Place" were extremely funny! Just from reading your books, I imagine you must be a VERRRRRRRY interesting person, with VERRRRRRY interesting friends. :-) I guess as long as you continue to write (and I'm hoping you have many more stories to tell), my boyfriend will continue to entertain me with "Specially Autographed" copies of your books. Keep up the good work & thanks for the diversion!! |

| Comments: | I really enjoyed reading ‘The Meeting Place’. The author’s ability to describe the characters, their surroundings and their interactions gave me the ability to visualize everything very vividly and this makes for great storytelling. The separate tales of three women and their interesting lives combined with the tale of their interactions together late in life provide the reader with sadness and laughter. This is a good book to read if you have trouble finishing a book because the author ensures you will not lose interest and there is a great twist in the end that I certainly didn’t see coming. |

I haven't read any of them yet, (just found out recently via email from Kathy that you were an accomplished author)and it seems this is very Old News! It is an honor to have personally grown up with someone who actually shares the same gift (writing). I am happy to know that you are acting on yours. I wish you nothing but success in all your endeavors and I look forward to reading your books. BTW, since I now live in Florida, how do I go about getting a personally autographed copy? Much love ~ Vicki |

| Comments: | I very much enjoyed both your books. The first one had me on the floor laughing and the second one meant more to me then the story you told, even though it is a great story....I was wrong in my conclusion of the story, but that's what it's about when you read a book, right? I am very proud to have known you for more then 23 years, even though we lost touch for a long time. Hopefully we can make up for the time lost...that said, hurry up with the next book, I need something to read! Luv u |

| Comments: | Mr. Rhodes, I have not had the opportunity to read your first book but I will. I have however had the opportunity to just complete your new book "The Serialization of Discontent". If your first book is or half as exciting as this one you have a supporter for life. I couldn't put it down and the ending was truly outstanding! It blew me away to say the least. Please add me to your mailing list so that I may be informed of any book signings that you might have in my area as I would very much like both of my copies autographed. Best Regards, D.

| Comments: | Latest update from the previous message. Nothing but blessings. IJLU. Any who, now that I have finished the first two books, my retired time is just not working for me. I need the third book NOW!!!!!! Just throw a couple of pages my way. I will probably not get on with Retirement until the Vistor is complete. I got nothing but Love for you, and time to actually sit and read your books. I'm reading others as well, but reading your books is almost lifelike stories (smile), imagine sitting and watching your book as a movie. The paramedics need to be close, and I mean very close. Tell Perry to move over, or contact you for a hit in his studio. |

| Comments: | Mr.Rhodes - I purchased your book from Amazon.com. I was riding on the metro and the lady beside me was reading your book. She kept laughing and wiping her eyes so I thought that it must be pretty funny. I finally asked her what she was reading. She gave me the name of the book. She wasn't sure where I could get it as it was passed over to her by a friend, but your email address was penciled on the back page. I wrote it down and I was able to purchase the book. I started reading it the same day that I had received it. Let me first say that I am an avid reader. I read constantly (at least 3 books per week). I have to say, your book has been added to my "favorite books to read" list. It was one of the funniest books that I have ever read. Each page was full of excitement and comedy. It was something different and very enjoyable. I will be on the look out for your next book. That too seemed very interesting and exiting. Keep up the wonderful work, we can always use a good laugh. -S |

Seriously though, we experienced a blackout too at home, actually the day we returned from your signing--how coincidental; and the book was so good (either that or I was just trying to support my blog buddy :-) that I read it by flashlight and the light from the fireplace. Can't wait for the next one, but this time, can you keep that lil' old stank h* out of it. Excellent read. Cheri (Hey Regi read the whole thing too, which is unusual for him; he only reads non-fictionals; so kudos for that--well, I'm sure he only read the complete book because he's your neighborhood homey :-). |
