When I finish one of his books, I always sit back and think about how grateful I am that there are people in this world who can create such beauty, such emotion, such depth with their words. Burke is a genius!<br /><br />Kelly—Mike is right—grab yourself a Burke book ASAP; you won't regret it!<br /><br />Sheila K.skkormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17261319413070814256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799690925699485675.post-18438249666254482132014-10-13T15:17:35.608-07:002014-10-13T15:17:35.608-07:00Kelly,

In my own writing, when I needed inspiration, I'd read something by Burke and see how a master wrote.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13385636140991419220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799690925699485675.post-70908718324160792622014-10-11T09:17:07.793-07:002014-10-11T09:17:07.793-07:00I've not read any Burke, though I have a frien...I've not read any Burke, though I have a friend that LOVES his Robicheau series. I have the first of those sitting on my shelf, but perhaps this would be a better "intro" to Burke's work.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859017153454691633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799690925699485675.post-70063831825726979802014-10-11T08:02:31.754-07:002014-10-11T08:02:31.754-07:00Everything from the mind of James Lee Burke is pur...Everything from the mind of James Lee Burke is pure gold!
