Hi Eleonore, I am visiting family out of town, will read it! Thank you for sharing the story, just came back from reading it! I think there is a lot of meaning hidden under the innocent disguise of your interpretation of the old fairytale... "Jill found Jack and fell in love but was not allowed to live again to be with him"==reminds me a bit of Greek mythology where the poet was allowed to descend to the underworlds to rescue his girl, but then had to leave her there...Lovely story Eleonore!

This book is mesmerizing. There are vignettes, streams of poetry, and scenes of such exquisite depth and beauty that I found myself taken aback at the skill of the writing and the power it had to touch my heart. There are many very touching tributes to her father, but also one scene in particular that examines a woman's reaction to old home movies played in reverse. It reminded me of the great literature of Kate Chopin's THE AWAKENING or A VOICE AND A VOCATION.
Hard to describe, but if you want a new literary fiction genius, you just found one in Uvi.

The little shapes? They are several lines of characters... I just copy interesting characters and from time to time compose them into groups...

A.R. wrote: "What I think I brought to it was that sense of realism"Exactly. No matter what departure we take from reality, we must make the fiction believable, so the reader can taste, smell, see, hear everything in that realm of fiction. So in the case of you and your co-writer, it seems like you complement each other perfectly.
I had the great opportunity to appear for an interview on the website of a fabulous author and friend, Christine Nolfi, where I was asked this: Why move between genres? This is a question I often ask myself. My books cannot easily be classified in the narrow confines of a particular genre, because life as we know it–and my art, which mirrors it– constantly change from one genre to the next. One moment is is humorous; the next, it is erotic; then, it might be a tragedy.

Great, A.R., to hear about being 'in the zone'--I find that like you, I take dictation from the characters. It is a much more natural, flowing way to create, when your mind becomes a vessel for them... And by all means, please share the experience of writing with a co-author!
It's awesome that you got my book! Would love to hear what you thing once you finish reading (no rush, no pressure...)
Great to meet you, A. R. Voss, and congratulations on the upcoming launch of Journey to Khodara. I am so glad you joined and that you immediately share the special challenge--and joy--of a team writing project. This is a pretty tight publication schedule, too!Welcome!

"I could feel Lenny—whose name I didn’t know yet—like, staring at me. It made me hot all over. For a minute there, I could swear he was gonna to ask me how old I was—but he didn’t." To listen to the voice of Anita (from the audition for Apart From Love) click:

Just finished reading Rose of Gwynedd by Christian Ashley:There should be a unique, new genre invented in order to attempt to classify her writing. Perhaps something like this: history-tales-with-an-erotic-scent. While arousing to some readers, others may find it quite unexpected within the framework of a historical genre, and therefore, perhaps off-putting. So a word of caution to you: beware... Starting with the very first page, you will find a vivid, sensual description of the act of love: "All through the day they'd played much as they always had; yet on this day, something was different. It was a quickened vibrancy, an intense yearning, and a hunger that neither of them had ever realised previously..."
As with all good writing it is evident how much research went into creating this book. The author, Christian Ashley, takes us away to the kingdom of Gwynedd, known to be a place deliciously rich with upheaval and chaos. Such is the birthplace of the heroine of this story, called Rose.
The language is intentionally outdated: "At a great ceremony held in honour of Rose's long awaited induction into womanhood, Lady Moyrin and Eyevlyn did grant Rose this magical crystal to keep at an alter within her home wherever it may be." Words are chosen, and sentences crafted in such a way as to impart the impression that this book is a find, a rare find from a bygone era, perhaps unearthed in some quaint, dusty library of ancient text...
A final note about the graphics on the pages of this book. They include illustrations of coat of arms, and maps of the kingdom of Gwynedd from the middle ages. Interspersed with these symbols of war are images of a scarlet rose, dew trembling upon its curved, succulent petals, symbolizing the heroine of the story. Love, at a time of war.
Five stars.
