Humorous...witty...Major shows much talent as he provides an entertaning relationship drama.New Pittsburg Courier
Sexy, sensitive...in the tradition of Eric Jerome Dickey.Sharmaine Diana Henry
The characters are real not because of their description, but because of the way they interact with each other. The jive talk on the basketball courts and in comedy clubs are painted with vibrant accuracy. This is a talent that most authors strive to perfect, yet Mr. Major does it with ease. Good Peoples left me yearning for more.— Romantic Times
