I am grateful to my agentsâDavid Leonards and Steven Green. Their conscientious work enables me to put first things first.
Bill and Carolyn Strafford travel far and wide to help me when I speak. My thanks to them.

praise
for
PHILIP GULLEY's
beloved
HARMONY
novels
“The tales Philip Gulley unveils are tender and humorousâ¦filled with sudden, unexpected, lump-in-the-throat poignancy.”
Paul Harvey Jr.
“With wry humor and front-porch storytelling, Gulley writes about the people of Harmony like old friends or neighbors.”
Ft. Wayne News-Sentinel
“In a league with Jan Karon's Mitford seriesâ¦Gulley's work is comparable to Gail Godwin's fiction, Garrison Keillor's storytelling, and Christopher Guest's filmmaking.”
Publishers Weekly
“Gulley writes with wit, and he has a real flair for creating offbeat situations that are sure to make readers smileâ¦Even in the wackiest moments, there's always a message, a moral to be learnedâ¦Simple and familiar lessons, yes. But they're good ones. And Gulley has found clever and unique ways to remind readers of them.”
