WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT The Return of the Spanish Lady
- I bought your book at the conference and really enjoyed it--it is a great way to get across a very strong message about how the infection would move through a community and how innocent activity can turn out to be very dangerous. I was particularly interested in the holistic medicine alternative. We really do have to be open to anything that might work--and we need to start thinking about it now. W.N.
- It's so realistic, it's scary. S.H.
- Fascinating, I couldn't put it down. M.W.
- My wife is a nurse and when I told her about the boook she wanted to read it; she loved it and wants to know more on homeopathy in particular. B.M
- I was scared you were going to give us a fairy tale ending, but you stayed real until the last page.K.R.
- What a great book. I can't wait for the sequel to be out. I.P.
- At 8:30 this morning I sat down and opened the cover of "The Return
of the Spanish Lady". I looked up after finishing it and was
surprised that it was 4:00 pm. You've written a captivating
story! I enjoyed reading it and will encourage my family, friends, &
students to read it as well. L.B.
- I loved your Epilogue. Talk about a zinger! K.I.
- It was the shortest flight across the Atlantic. I read your book while travelling and I couldn't put it down. J.M.
- I finished the book and really enjoyed the last 200 pages. I liked the Fraud set up by the drug manufacturer, the relationship with between the Miss Jasmine and Robert Cloutier, the accuracy of both the Incident command system and the powers of the urban emergency act, and the sting operation and the arrests. Looking forward to your next work. D.M.

By L. A. Bottomley (Atlanta, GA USA) - I read this book cover to cover in one sitting. It's a very good read from a first time author. The plot is interesting, timely and fast moving. The characters are believable. The historical references are accurate and well researched. It's clear that the author is knowledgeable about emergency preparedness and response procedures as well as the politics of identifying and responding to an emerging pandemic. The story he tells has compelled me to learn more about preparing for the next flu outbreak and get my annual flu shot.

Canada is one of the greatest countries in the world in many aspects. Socially, economically, health-wise, with regards to rights and freedoms, Canada is leading the way in my opinion. I write with Canada as the background for my stories. In Canada there is such a diversity geographically, from one seashore to the other, from lowlands of the prairies to the peaks of the rockies, from large urban settings of central Ontario to remote forestry camps of the North, from the warm Southern edge near the US border to the vast artic frontier of the great North. There is diversity ethnically also with Canadians and landed immigrants coming from every country in the world and speaking almost every language know to man.

Le Canada est l'un des meilleurs pays du monde de diverses manières. Socialement, économiquement, au secteur de la santé, à l'égard des droits et libertés, le Canada est en tête de file à mon avis. J'écris mes livres avec le Canada comme arrière-plan. Au Canada, il existe une diversité géographique, d'un océan à l'autre, allant des plaines de l'Ouest aux sommets des massifs des rocheuses, des régions hautement urbanisées du sud de l'Ontario aux camps de bucherons du nord, des régions plus chaudes du sud à la frontière des États-Unis au vastes contrées artiques du grand nord. Il y a aussi une diversité ethnique et linguistique composée de canadiens et d'immigrants reçus de tous les pays du monde et de presque toutes les langues parlées de par le globe.
