 Writer's Digest 2006 14th. Annual International Self-Published Book Awards Jan 02, 2007
By Rosemary I. Patterson
Judge 16's Commentary on The Wager. Forwarded by author.
1)What did you like best about this book? "I enjoyed your delightful sense of humor and ability to describe scenes so that I felt as if I were one of the group taking part in all their activities. Your characterization was excellent, and I suppose that is also part of your skill in description, each character was distinct and easily identifiable, each person had a personality of his/her own so that nothing seemed stereotyped or repetitive. This was a group of feisty, sexy, active ladies, and their male counterparts. The book left me wanting to read more, and wishing that I were part of this circle of dog walkers. The dogs were delightful, and I couldn't help thinking how fortunate this group was to have such a lovely spot where the dogs and their owners could enjoy the outdooors together. Your skill as a fiction writer is well developed, and I enjoyed your book imensely.
 Terrible Book May 11, 2011
By Leslie D. Lipscomb
"Lee"
This book was a huge waste of time and money. For a book touted for its humor it fell quite short. It was shallow and lacked wit and humor. The characters lacked personality - even the dogs were boring. What a disappointment.

"I enjoyed your delightful sense of humor and ability to describe scenes so that I felt as if I were one of the group taking part in all their activities etc. Your characterization was excellent, and I suppose that is also part of your skill in description; each character was distinct and easily identifiable; each person has a personality of his/her own so that nothing seemed sterotyped or repetitive. This was a group of feisty, sexy, active ladies, and their male counterparts. The book left me wanting to read more, and wishing that I were part of this circle of dog walkers. The dogs were delightful, and I couldn't help thinking how fortunate this group was to have such a lovely spot where the dogs and their owners could enjoy the outdoors together. Your skill as a fiction writer is well developed, and I enjoyed your book immensely.
