The project extended into a "quest" that lasted four years -- eight hours per day, six days per week. The younger members of her audience have hailed Stones' Quest: In Search of Its Master as "A real page turner." One twelve-year-old has said, "I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. I just couldn't put it down." "I feel very fortunate that I have been able to write this series of science fiction novels and see plots and characters come to life," said LaRene. "In my writing, I have found that my mind is always two sentences ahead of my fingers and I have a difficult time keeping up. My greatest satisfaction comes in seeing the response of my readers to book one and knowing that they can soon enjoy books two through five that are in the pipeline and book six that will be close behind." "The book was fantastic! My imagination was kept in high gear as I anxiously followed the interest-gripping action and unique story line," said Heidi Tice, book editor from Middleton, Delaware.
