LOVE, LOSS, AND LAGNIAPPE:

~~~

Written with a genuine flair for originality, Robbins has created a cast of distinctive characters deftly embedded in a narrative-driven, exceptionally engaging story that holds the readers fully engaged attention from beginning to end....very highly recommended, especially for community library Contemporary General Fiction...

~ Midwest Book Review

~~~

If you are looking for a great read with a little something extra, search no further; Love, Loss, and Lagniappe is the novel for you.

~ Feathered Quill Book Reviews

~~~

This is a fast-paced novel, with great moments of joy and devastating moments of heartbreak and sadness. Drew is the main character, and how he deals with life-changing moments are the foundation of this captivating novel. His choices are authentic and powerful yet could easily be misunderstood. There are layers of meaning, and an astute reader will dig in and truly relish the nuances within this plot. There is nothing like a long walk to clear the mind and discover lifes meanings. Author Richard Robbins has skillfully crafted a thoughtful romantic fictional work in Love, Loss and Lagniappe: A Love Story That Defied the Laws of Nature. This is much more than a romantic story!

PANICLES:

~~~

Panicles will make you think, make you cry, make you laugh and smile and keep you reading until the very end.

~ Readers Favorite Book Reviews, Trudi LoPreto (5 STARS)

~~~

Readers who enjoy novels steeped in a sense of purpose and psychological insight and inspection will relish this story because it doesnt take the easy way out by following predictable social climbs, but includes plenty of serious inspection of purpose and personal responsibility as the characters hone their goals and test their values against lifes ups and downs.

Runners get a runners high when everything is at a peak point, and I got a readers high with this book. I finished it in two sittings. The title and theme of Panicles is a great visual way to show how the strength of family and friendships can grow and thrive as extraordinary positive force. There is such a range of characters that are so well developed that every reader will find empathy, inspiration and humor that will draw them in.

~ Kevin R. (5 STARS)

Just finished this wonderful, page turning saga, an epic story of 2 families spanning 3 generations. Well written, often surprising and grand in scale, this story kept me in suspense and wanting to hear more.

~ Jeffrey Slaff (5 STARS)

An amazing story of two families that intertwine beautifully; and keep you rooting for a true love story that builds over a lifetime. Dont pass up this book that will keep a smile on your face as you zip through it!

THE TORMENTING BEAUTY OF EMPATHY:

~~~

What a delightful surprise The Tormenting Beauty of Empathy was. The writing was so simple, yet clever, and the plot so different I was caught up from the first chapter, and got so hooked I lost sleep because of the desire to keep reading. The characters are compelling, even the children are fully developed and compelling people. The situations they encounter are right out of todays headlines, and Robbins writes in a beautifully descriptive style. Sometimes I almost felt like I was walking down the street with them. I enjoyed it so much, I am now reading Panicles, and am already engrossed in it.

~ Bill Capo, Author of Category 5 and Lights, Camera, Kill

...a beautiful, touching, and redeeming tale that I can highly recommend to everyone. When as a reader you feel better inside for having read a book, you know the author has achieved his or her goal. This is such a book.

~ Readers Favorite Book Reviews, Grant Leishman (5 STARS)

...the story moves with basic grace... told with heartfelt belief, but also with an unswerving directness that feels preordained.

This is a new to me author and Im so excited he has written other books as I love the way he writes. Its beautiful, heart wrenching, real and raw. I love historical fiction and although this is a work of fiction, it weaves history. The imagery is amazing. But I really love how he brings to light the issues we all face, choices we make and how they affect others. I really like how he draws the need for empathy and how its played out. So good! A breath of fresh air!
