"You write like a poet, although it is prose. I am an artist, so your visual language is wonderful and brings your story telling to life. Thanks!"
Steven Boone, (A Heart Traced in Sand) "Since I began to write, I seldom ever read. But I couldn’t stop reading this book. Christine’s writing is crisp and engaging, but it’s more than that. When I read her, I feel like I am in the hands of a commanding inner traveler – one who has ridden the wave of despair over all too rocky seas, and arrived, intact and beautifully clarified, at her very own door. Really beautiful writing. Don’t stop…" Jeff Brown, (Soulshaping) "The work builds on "introspection," a word mentioned in the plot. The first chapter is written to expose a depth of thought usually not shared - but beautifully expressed. The change of pace in the following chapter will move readers in an interesting manner to focus on love, a love in dreams, as a "style of being." The novel is literary fiction at its best. A salient point for this novel is the beautiful expression of emotions as the storyline evolves." Chuck (Paperboy Adventures) "A most compelling read, difficult to stop … the moon shines on my bed no matter where I am in the world … I spread my arms like fledgling wings … tears that dammed the floodgates of my eyes … at the shore a babbling froth gathered between the tessellated rocks embedded in black sand … The depth of the relationship described is eloquent, I admire writers who find words for the seeking, for the fear and the passion of opening the heart of hearts. A tutor once told me I had to decide whether to be a poet or a philosopher. You show it’s possible to be both." Pia (Course of Mirrors) "Your novel is nothing short of brilliant. It grabbed me from the beginning. I was spellbound from the beginning. There isn’t a more gifted writer than yourself!! I’m not trying to flatter you – honestly, it should soar. It’s a masterpiece... !" Leigh Ann Gray "I'm always drawn to stories of spiritual journeys, and your writing sings..." Liane Gentry Skye "Beautiful and yet so sad. You truly have a way with words. It flows, like water from one sentence to the next. Your heroine has such shadows, so many of us, as wives, mothers, caretakers, we find ourselves wondering..." Candi Wall "This is engrossing and heart wrenching. Your protagonist is so real to me as a reader and you've truly mastered the layers which compose us all." Jennifer Hart |
