In researching Sammy, Robin toured the Dallas fifth-floor jail where Lee Harvey Oswald was held. See that tour here.

On Sammy: Dallas Detective: "The world's most lovable jerk with a smile to dazzle any woman has just discovered the one assignment he can't get away from: the persistence of the love of a personal Savior. Sammy's experiences are wrought with the realism of modern-day spiritual warfare in the midst of a world with its eyes closed and a church that is sometimes blinded. However, Mrs. Hardy unceasingly points to the goodness of God's plan throughout" (Amazon reviewer).

On Sammy: Ghosts: "He's back! Sammy Kidman, Dallas's most disarming detective, returns for another installment in one of my favorite series. This time, our hunk of a hero is battling ghosts - memories and mishaps from his past that are trying to frustrate his future. Written as cleverly and creatively as the previous books, Sammy's latest adventure has the excitement, the romance and the spiritual insights readers have come to expect from this series" (Joyce Handzo, In the Library review).
