I think that the way you are describing it sounds amazing. They way you are tempting to go about a really serious problem and the way it realayes to your life is wonderful. I also enjoy the fact that you are making or made your characters as unusual and unique as possible.

Hi, Gary,
Thank you for your letter. I enjoyed reading it. Seems to me your book is a reflection of life well - lived despite whatever comes your way. Hope I could find good things from reading it later. Good day and enjoy.

I want to thank you for your brutal honesty in this letter. I am sure writing the book was therapeutic for you, yet this letter couldn't have been easy to pen. The sample that I've read was absolutely brilliant and I'm still planning on reading the full book in the near future. I just have to know the rest of Duke's adventures, or should I rather say misadventures?!

I will be looking forward to reading your book.
Your letter brought to mind a very good friend of mine and some memories I had been trying to write down. I think it's still too soon since his passing because I can't seem to get past the tears to actually finish writing the memories down but I really think I will enjoy your book.

It is like you poured your heart into the story and wrote the book whole hearted. Have read the book and it is full of humour i must admit. It is a book full of life experience and teaching lessons. I really enjoyed the Story and am looking forward to the next book.

I had the opportunity to go through couple of chapters from the novel and it is pretty damn interesting at this point. A first I thought the title is little weird, but it completely makes sense as I dwell deeper into the story. I personally had this emotional connect with the story having had seen CIRCUS numerous times during my childhood, and it sort of brought back all those memories. I would love to post further once I am completely done with the Book. Hope it does live up to my expectations! :D :) :)

Thank you, Gary Robinson, for taking the time to write a personal letter to your readers. It is nice to gain some insight into what it was like for you to write this book, as well as insight into why writing it was so important. For me, it has shed a new light onto your work as I continue making my way through this journey alongside the colorful characters.
