LIBERATED
A World War II Memoir
of Lt. Harlan E. Highfield
"I can't even tell you how much I enjoyed it. I didn't want it to end. It was wonderful."
-N. Griffith, Wilmington, DE
It reads so naturally, nicely combining the factual with the narrative."
-C. Casey, Baltimore, MD
"It was an easy and enjoyable read that was quite enlightening. I learned a lot about one person's situation from an intimate perspective, it also made me think about how others around the world may have similar stories."
-D. Moser, Fort Myers, FL
"Chuck did a great job telling us about his dad's interesting life and accomplishments. There were some emotional parts that brought a tear to my eyes."
-W. Eubank, Lewes, DE
Sanibel's
Secret Bank

-B. Murphy
"Sanibel's Secret Bank" was really something....suspense, drama, romance, and an ending that just blew me away! Very interesting and most enjoyable. Well written, Chuck.
-C. Lewis, Newark, DE
"Great read with so much suspense, the ending was wild. I too am a Skidmore graduate, many years before Gwen, and commend you on all the accurate facts about the college and Saratoga Springs. I also enjoyed the epilogue to know how everyone is doing now."
-L. Harvey, Sanibel, FL
"A Bank that takes evil to new heights (and depths). Interesting characters, gators, sunsets, mosquitoes. All these elements come together in Highfield's suspenseful Sanibel's Secret Bank. A reading experience that captures the good life that Florida's Gulf Coast offers along with the dangers that can lurk in the mangroves."
-C. Casey, Baltimore, MD
"Highfield's descriptions of Sanibel are detailed, which brings the taste of home cooking to the book. It's a nice blend of the reality of Sanibel's settings, hitting the fiction world of Highfield's storytelling."
-Sanibel-Captiva Islander/Island Reporter
"I was really hooked when I started to read it. The novel holds one's interest in trying to determine what is 'the bank,' and how it affected the characters' lives."
-C. White, Wilmington, DE
"I really enjoyed your latest book (great story). You did an excellent job! It was hard to put down, and it was so easy to get involved in the story and all of the characters."

close."

Streets
"I enjoyed how you gently told the story with soft dialogue you could hear."

-A. Hubbard, Newark, DE
"You have a fertile imagination, and you did a great job presenting the life of street people in understandable terms. I will definitely recommend your book to others."
-A. Schoen
"All in all, Streets is an amazingly multi-layered tale dripping in Key West sunshine and smelling faintly of cheap jug wine--a bittersweet and insightful glimpse into the lives of street people that entertains as well as uplifts."
-The Island Sand Paper, Fort Myers Beach, FL
IN SUN DOWN FAR
"I just finished In Sun Down Far, thought-provoking, melancholic. I loved the insights in Ellis-Irving conversations."
-E. Ichton, Worcester, MA
"...great leading character. I definitely relate to him. Great writing..."
-B. Gangaware, Lake Luzerne, NY
"...the story of finding one's own way in life-and losing one's way, too-is touching. And, the portrait of the beauty of the Gulf Coast of Florida is enticing."
-C. Casey, Baltimore, MD
"My wife and I have read IN SUN DOWN FAR and thought it was an extremely enjoyable and intriguing read. I definitely identified with Ellis' take on enjoying what you are doing in life. Money and success are important but they truly don't bring happiness. Will be reading Streets shortly."
-G. Ovens-Sanibel Island, FL
"The novel offers an interesting—and slightly chilling—summer read.”
-Out & About Magazine, Wilmington, DE
