I am so proud of Anna. When I first received the manuscript of this romance, I knew I had something special in my hands. I couldn't stop turning the pages and became determined to make this an Avon book.

I knew other publishers were interested in acquiring it, too. (And why wouldn't they be? They have good taste, too!)

What made this novel stand out for me? First and foremost the writing. Anna knocked me over with her sheer talent.

She created a love story that swept me away. In addition, she created characters who fascinated me. I had to keep
reading to discover what happened to them.

This novel caused a lot of controversy, but many of those who weren't wild about the book agreed that Anna's writing is powerful. Her next book, UNTOUCHED, is out in the bookstores now. So, if you haven't yet read Anna Campbell, please do.
