“Mahala “The Beginning” by author, Laurna Joyce is a well-written book. I will give it five stars. It is one of those books you read until you have read it all through. I really enjoyed it.” Author, of “Ghosts of the Kiamichi Mountains,” Evelene Steele.

“Very seldom do you come upon a story as riveting as Mahala “The Beginning.” The characters are so interesting, so alive! I can see my picking it up in the middle of mowing the lawn, using the excuse for a rest in the shade. But getting up in the middle of the night, because I can’t wait to see what happened next? I’ve never done that! I can’t wait to get my copy of Mahala “The Exile!” I’d read anything author, Laurna Joyce wrote. She’s a true talent! I recommend the Mahala books to anyone who loves excitement, intrigue and exotic adventure. A real page turner! Laurna Joyce will go far,” author, of “All the Way Home,” Mary Suzanne Lopez.

“Your book is wonderful and I can read it without my glasses, so many times the print is so tiny, yours is just right. I read a lot and I think you have a best seller. I have been telling my niece over the phone, how intrigued I am with it, it is spellbinding. She said, “Oh Auntie, I want to read it when you’re finished.” I said to her, “We will buy you another one. I can’t give up my signed copy, besides I may read this book a second time.” Good luck.

We met at the book signing at Hastings in Fort Smith. I bought both of your books that day. I told you I read a great deal, love period book, and of Native and Spanish descent, I loved the books. Isn’t it ironic how similar Papal courts are, on any continent? Love Malinche and Mahala, herself and Nikia so faithful. Look forward to The Division. Glorianna, Pocola, OK.

Dear Laurna, I am most commonly known as the 13 year old soy candle girl. I would like you to know I have finished all of the Beginning and sent it all over my family. A friend found a copy of "The Exile" in a Tulsa bookstore and sent it to me. I loved both of them and my family in Michigan is asking for copies. Your becoming famous around here. Alyssa Williamson

I’m really excited to read your third book. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two. Lots of Love - Donna & Daniel
