With his brilliant first novel, Dear Walt,  Willis’ own hometown author R.D. Frazier has received critical acclaim and praise from reviewers over the past year since his novel was published last July.

“Dear Walt is a must read! The book brings one to the realization that we all are on a journey and that we had “places in which we could not stay” as we were impelled out of the darkness and into the light. You will not be able to put this book down as Ron Frazier — possessing an extraordinary gift — weaves the complexities and circumstances of some 15+ relationships throughout their criss-crossing paths, with the expertise of a juggler keeping them all in the air at the same time.

At the same time one is touched by the sensitivity and pathos of the author, expressed through his main character, as Andy traverses his own path to the light. It is light hearted and at times passionately intense, wringing emotions from me, the reader, as he pulled me into the “living” and the remembering of my own journey.

Frazier brings us to his conclusion in such an unexpected way that it brought me to tears, as I sat in enlightened silence. I highly recommend this book as a fascinating journey into the meaning of life, lived out in ordinary places with ordinary people, but in extraordinary ways. David Kline, Director KHBI”

“I couldn’t put it down. I cried, I laughed, but throughout the story I marveled at how exquisitely Ron Frazier insinuated the message of our merciful, faithful, loving God as the story unfolded, revealing how God works unbeknownst to us wayfarers while we be. Dear Walt is a wonderful work and I can’t wait for Ron’s next one. Darlene”
