An Addictive Read
When I won a copy of Magdalena Ball's Sleep Before Evening as the prize for coming runner up in the writelink wet, wet, wet flash fiction contest, I was really worried I might not like it. The novel was written by not only a fellow writelinker but someone who had judged my own writing so highly. What would I say if I disliked it but was asked what I thought? As it turns out, I needn't have fussed, as the novel is addictive in more than just its subject matter.
Life!
Life of Pi is a fantastic read - despite its initially daunting subject matter!
This review was highly commended in the writelink reviewing the situation contest in July 2007.
Gratitude Ode
As a poet, I owe a great deal to one particular book...This review also won me first prize in the writelink reviewing the situation contest in June 2007.
Distances brought closer
A real treat for writelink newcomers and for those who may remember her work from the poetry arena is Close Distances by prize-winning writelinker Marilyn Jenkins (croescade).
A collection to make you lick your Lip!
It's no exaggeration to say Catherine Smith's latest poetry collection has left me licking my lips, wanting more.
Sold on it!
I've been thinking recently about trying to sort through my poems and see what I have in the way of another pamphlet or a collection, so one particular 'how to' poetry book immediately caught my eye!
"Mermaid still swim in our dreams"
Late as I am discovering Michael Symmons Roberts, the fact that his collection Corpus won the 2004 Whitbread Poetry Award probably says more than I can about its quality.

The Haunting of Melmerby Manor
Even I'm not arrogant enough to tell you how wonderful my latest novel is (well I am, but you'd probably report me and get me struck off or something) but I'll post you an overview of the book in the hope of tempting you to have a closer look, while leaving the reviewing to others at a later date.
