I have often said that "I write
selfishly and that publishing stories is a therapeutic pastime for me" – This
Is still true, but when YOU make the effort to buy the book, read it, and then take
the time to write a review on Amazon.com, everything changes for me. Suddenly,
my work is no longer selfish. I realize that we have shared something together.
It is such a thrill for me to think that
the story I have written, the words I have carefully place on the page have
been a part of your life. I begin to understand that I have a responsibility to
you, the reader. It's really quite daunting and wonderful at the same time. My
only hope is that the story, the characters, the plot and the world that I have
created is a worthy of your time. That you have found some escape, some joy,
some pleasure from the experience.
Your review allows me the chance to
get much needed feedback – your comments are cherished. They complete the loop,
the connection between us ... It's hard to express how meaningful this
connection is to me, especially with my limited ability to physically engage
with the world... All that I can really do is just say that I am very grateful!
Thank you.

finished reading this book just as headlines reported expansion of Pacific
Remote Islands Marine National Monument, covering 490,000 square miles. Rare
and undetected species will emerge, according to the report. To me, this means
that R.K. Raker writes with creativity as well as cutting-edge research. The
characters, their challenges, their reflections on their history and future -
all result in an enjoyable reading experience.
