A first review for NIPS

Elisa Rolle may have started off as a reader but she’s become quite a respected reviewer among writers, although I don’t know if she’s aware of that. Being that she hails from Italy and English is not her native language, she surprises us by managing to write both eloquent and enlightening reviews. I’m not just saying that because she almost always find something to praise in my books. I’m not the only writer to feel that way. So let me start by saying a collected thank you to Elisa.

I also need to thank her for the wonderful review she has given me for Nights in Pink Satin, available from Changeling Press. She starts by saying, “The normal level of Changeling Press’ books is good but seldom they are “deep”.” She calls my book “a gothic romance with a touch of urban fantasy.” Then she goes on to say: “Martin has probably had enough bad experiences of rejection when he was a man due to the fact that he is gay, and now as a vampire he is re-living all of that, now he has another reason, even more scaring, to hide from people. It’s so sad to see his life through Vincent’s eyes when he is spying in the apartment, all the objects tell a life of loneliness and lost hopes. Even if I was really wishing that Vincent would have been starstruck by Martin at first sight, his reluctance makes for an even more interesting reading, I loved to see the innocent seduction of Martin, and the sex in the closet was hot and “symbolic”.” You read the whole review by clicking here: (http://elisa-rolle.livejournal.com/690193.html)
