It has been a long time since we saw each other, and I'm so glad that she waited for you while you were on your mission. I loved your testimony here, and, I know it's been said before, but it strengthened mine of the true gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. We need to talk more often, both you and Laura, whom I've known her entire life. She was almost a sister to me, we were so close in age, and we would play together, send stories together (although it was more my sisters than me, and I'm suspecting it was Susan or Debbie that would do most of it) and we had a lot of fun together. I guess I'd better quit for now. If any of your fans are reading this, yes, I am related to Laura as she's my aunt, and I love her and my other aunts very much.

Looking back on that manuscript and comparing it to what I am capable of now, I know it to be a piece of refuse. But you responded with an editor's view and encouraged me without pandering. You even sent me a signed cover to the Fire Sea which was waiting to be published. It was a formative and encouraging moment and even though I am no longer pursuing a career in (creative) writing, I still look back and appreciate it. Seeing that your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ guided you makes sense. I have long wished to be able to thank you. So. Yeah. Thank you. God Bless. Ben Tracy,

Webster Tue, 01 Feb 2011 11:18:33 +0000 http://www.trhickman.com/?page_id=101#comment-9679 Thank you for this info on your faith. Being Belgian, i have never met a mormon (that i know of) and did not at all know what it entailed. I firmly believe any relifion you choose, whether it's (a branch of) christianity, paganism... as long as you have and live by the morals you speak of, that's what matters, not whatever deity is behind a curtain.

Once the "f" word appeared, it was over for me. It has become so hard to find authors anymore that can write a good story without putting profanity and gratuitous sex into their books and since your other books don't follow this trend, I thought I was safe. Unfortunately, that is what seems to sell books today and it is very disheartening to see that you have followed this trend. Another author I have to cross off my list of being able to read.
