Serene Sarah |
AUTHOR
Heather Taylor |
DESCRIPTION
The piece 'Serene Sarah' is an emotional piece
about the tender topic of Anorexia. However it is not sentimentally written and is,
hopefully written with empathy. The topic of anorexia, although prominent in the
storyline, is not the only topic and the great friendship between the main characters
should also touch the hearts of it's readers. [First few chapters] |

REVIEWS
"I would be most grateful for
any comments both positive and negative as long as they are honest." -- Author
"Very believable and moving. I was hooked." -- Pravin
Jeyaraj, Sutton, Surrey, UK
"Good story, well written." -- Bridget Faith
"Haven't read it all yet. But what I have read, what
truth. It is society who has created Sarah and then rejected her. And how should she know
how it started, and she will never be happy no matter what weight she gets down to. Well
done Heather." -- Kim
"WOW what a good true story, I can understand
Sarah's story cause I am suffering from anorexia too and that is why I had to read it. It
has made me think and brough tons of tears in my eyes. A lot of the stuff I can really
relate to and is it a true story? Like the demon voices and counting cals all the time and
I have never read much which involved the friend it is always the person with an ed that
tells the story and I thank you!" -- Zggy, Devon, England
"In all reality, I don't think
your story sustained the level of excitement in order to truly capture (split infinitive
language there, and for that I apologise) the heart of readers. Although I am sure it is
very popular with most teenage girls, undoubtedly concerned with weight, I found it
burdensome to really get into he story. It also lacks a little with imaginative
description. Realism may be an important part in your story, but being creative is
essential today. I liked your style a little though, it's a brief usage of "Hearts in
Atlantis, Steven King genre. Good attempt!" -- Landicor, Berkshire, England
"A powerful story that touched my
heart. It was so real and yet I was able to feel Joanne's grief. It's a
horrible fate for anyone and my sympathy is out to anyone who has to bear the pain of
being anorexic, and even more to dealing with anorexics. It has truly changed my
thinking." -- Nicola, Royal Palm Beach, Florida, USA
"A heart warming true classic. A
story everyone should read to themselves and thier families." -- Kaitlyn Tarence,
Chowchilla, California, USA |

Five Fingers |
AUTHOR
Richard
Williams |
DESCRIPTION
It is a story based on obsession to succeed. It
is a thriller with suspense, torture with romance, love and a touch of comedy. The story
is based on a successful sales force where everything is fine until interference into the
lives of men by the demands of women. When these demands affect the profits, the women
disappear -- all that is left is a sick memento -- their wedding finger! The story does
contain graphic sexual and horrific details so is only suitable for adults. The search for
the maniac involves a catalogue of misconceptions, unfolding relationships and emotions
before a tense final chase to the "monster's" den and the depths of his mind.
The final question is -- Who is stronger, man or woman?

ManHeart |
AUTHOR
Ronald
Coleman |
DESCRIPTION
Will my former wife ever come back to me?
thinks Clark Hern as he walks along the beach with the sun and wind and waves of the sea
as his only companions. “I miss her so much,” he whispers, “so very much. .
. .” What does a man do who loves his former wife but knows that it will never be
requited? He tries to forget her the best way he can. Clark follows the path of falling
into the arms of other women. He finds this unfullfilling. Clark, nonchalantly, asks the
heavens for help and to his surprise he soon finds that the heavens respond: an angel
appears first as a pink figurine, then as a man. And later in the novel another angel
appears to assist the first. There is a woman that comes into Clark’s life, a
beautiful woman, a daring woman, a coquette of a woman. She wants Clark’s body but
Clark wants more than sex -- desires to find true love, perdurable love, a love that is
pure. The desire of this woman for Clark, the re-burgeoning desire an angel has for this
woman who was his wife when the angel was a human spirit, and the desire Clark has to find
true love makes for a very interesting and thought-provoking novel. ManHeart for your
heart. There are love in its pages, philosophy; sexual desire, and a touch of the divine.
ManHeart -- a novel for you. [10,200 words, first 3 chapters of novel] |
READERS'
REVIEWS
"Too long winded, too much unneccessary
detail. Too many looked-up-words. This story has no heart, no soul, no feeling. Just words
to fill pages. Sorry!" -- Auntyex
"I found ManHeart to be entertaining, but
it could challenge one's religious beliefs. The philosophy espoused in ManHeart is new
which could cause some readers to discount the book -- out of fear." -- Jerri Blair
"Great writers of the
same name. Love it." -- Ron Coleman, Dallas, Texas, USA |

REVIEWS
"It could be a very good beginning. It
would be better if it had some dialogue and more showing than telling." -- Jessica,
Connecticut, USA
"A good beginning and
an interesting premise. Yet, I feel most of this could have more of a storyteller's slant.
Instead of "statements" you may want to employ conjuctions and combine actions,
etc." -- Erika, Mt. Vernon, Washington, USA |
