Review:
"A powerful love story told through two generations, ... covers two battlefields of U.S. history, World War II and Vietnam." -- Romantic Times Magazine, September 1999, Page 115
"An enduring love story against a background of war" -- Publishers Weekly, November 2, 1998
"POWERFUL! Right up there with the movie Saving Private Ryan. A book I will never forget." -- Huntress' Book Reviews, October 1998
Once A Warrior is peopled with characters so real you feel you know them, want to weep with their families, drink toasts at their weddings, hold them when tragedy strikes. Very Highly Recommended! -- Under the Covers, October 1998
A realistic, moving tale of generations at war. Highly recommended. -- Booknet.org.uk.
Thank heaven for small presses and independent spirits. Otherwise, readers would be cheated out of a fine novel spanning two wars and two equally engaging romances. It's worth a reader's while to seek out Once A Warrior! -- Cathy Sova for theromancereader website, December 1998
This is a magnificent book. A book of love, courage, death, fear, hope, cowardice, and life. It follows three young men (three warriors) and their offspring from World War II through the homecoming of a dead warrior thirty years after he is lost in Vietnam. Based on well-researched history--a history given life by the author's deft hand with character and plot--the book should be on everyone's list of important books. 5 Very Large Stars! -- The Word Museum, November 1998
