Dear Phenix & Phenix Crew,

What a pleasure and adventure it has been to work with each of you. A total novice to writing and publishing, you made the experience one of total enjoyment. Your efforts are professional coupled with a personal touch that is genuine. Because of the information and training you provided, dealing with the media has been a very positive experience even when I was asked if I was “a part of the right-wing conspiracy.”

While everyone on your staff has been very helpful, it is important to recognize one special lady. My publicist Amanda Sammons is a precious woman who knows her business and is a delight to work with. I will never forget the morning back in September, 2003, when she called so excited. “Newsweek wants to talk to you,” she said. It is really nice to know that others are as interested in My 60 Seconds doing well as I am.

Please know I have praised your efforts on behalf of many. It is obvious you care about providing a quality product to readers. Also, after reviewing many of the books you represent, it is obvious that Phenix & Phenix is truly concerned with being a vital part of making a positive difference in the lives of readers.

Thank you for your hard work, your encouragement and your commitment. You touch more lives than you will ever know.

In His Hands,

Deborah Knapp
