Donna Van Braswell, Author, The Daughter of the Ancients.

You brought LIFE to the characters (Greek, Scottish, English, New Jersian, mafiosos, even the two young Wisconsinites!). Your very tone changed amusing text to outright laugh-out-loud funny because of timing and innate comedic talent. You developed delicate levels between sadness and melancholy, to downright indignant anger and fury in your voice.
