erastes

I’m stunned – really stunned. I think I started to feel a sense of unreality when Rick Reed’s review came in and was good. Since then the reviews have just continued to come in. I know I shouldn’t stress the “gay male reviews” because it isn’t right to do so—but the fact that that faction is enjoying the book so much pleases me more than I can say. I didn’t write this for them, or for women—I never, ever do that, no matter what people say (why limit yourself to only 50% of your potential readership?) but I was rather sitting on the edge of my seat as to what they might think—even though my publisher and my agent are both male and both had unlimited support for the book.

Anyway, before I get all weepy – here’s the three reviews that popped up over night

Alan Chin ….If you are searching for a typical romance that will steam your glasses and make you feel good in the end, keep looking. If you enjoy a serious story of how mistakes cause pain, how passion can injure as well as please, then by all means, give Junction X a read.

Gerry Burnie …. this is a brave new frontier, sensitively and superbly written, and begging to be read both for enjoyment and contemplation. Five bees.

Amos Lassen ….Erastes use of the English language is an exercise in subtlety. She seems to handpick every word and when all is taken together, we get sublime gorgeous prose. When you take that prose and put it to a wonderful plot, you get magic and that magic is a trademark of Erastes.
