“Plot twists keep you guessing, intense emotions keep you honed in, exposed secrets will make you gasp, and well-drawn characters will have you cheering for more. What’s beyond a page-turner? I don’t know…but this book is it.”

—Kathie Giorgio, “If You Tame Me” and “Today’s Moment Of Happiness Despite The News”, among others

“WOW! You had me from the first word. The story evolved beautifully.”

– Sherry Derr-Wille, author and editor

“‘Betrayal is wicked. Revenge is necessary. Patience is a virtue.’ A stunning collection of statements. The first is true; the second, repulsively human; the third taking on a frightening meaning when it follows the first two. Deception; intrigue; a loveable hate-able collection of characters; a quiet rural setting highlighting the challenges of farming; a blended family; an intriguing sidebar of love in all its forms; and last, but by no means, least, an incredible tale of abuse, caring, loyalty, determination, courage, and revenge.

I’m amazed by the author’s extraordinary gift and abilities in creating such thoroughly engaging and complex characters, not only in this book, but in his prior works as well. The depth of character development is incredible! Each character is “fully human” in appearance, in heart, in mind, and in soul.”

“Revenge is Necessary is one of the most engaging books I have read in a long time. Before you’ve turned the first page it has pulled you in like a whirlpool. Enjoy the ride.”

“Fabulous! Well done! Great story! The story was complex enough to hold interest, and the farther I got into it the harder it was to put it aside. The gay characters are integrated naturally and the mental health and societal issues handled beautifully. The characters are well rounded and believable. Love the Midwest farm setting and references.”
