      Hi Matthew, we were priviledged to be able to download the chapters of the Supertrio when you had them up and we laughed so hard and couldn't wait to listen to the next chapter each time... I referred a lot of people to your site and was sad when the book was taken it off the air but I understand that you need to make a living :) I wish you lots of luck. It seems that since you'd published your book online, a lot of similar stories have cropped up and been published though, grrr. We still like The Supertrio best.

      I love the other two books, and look forward eagerly to reading this one. Maybe this will be the one I can make into a screenplay.

      My kids have read the first two books over and over. Now a new book! We are so excited! I really hope you get your funding! I will tell everyone I can about this project! Good Luck!

      We're excited about the new book! And we get our own signed copy, too. What more could a fan ask for? I was tempted with the $500 donation prize of a talk on any subject I choose. We have a Miamaid (young women church group) activity planned in April called Modest Style, and we need a presenter to discuss dressing stylishly and modestly. You would be perfect!

      The book looks like it will be a lot of fun. Great job on the promotion video, too! I'm in.

      Best of luck with the project and funding. I'm looking forward to receiving our copy.

      Thanks!
