Well this is certainly different. I will be honest and say it’s probably not a book I would normally read out of choice but did truly enjoy some of the poems.

I especially like Would you. I thought it was beautiful and simple.

I imagine it must be very difficult to form a book from short stories and poems so I honestly applaud your efforts.

I could see this as a pocket sized book but some illustration to highlight the power in the potery.

Hi Emma, I've just finished chapter one, The Antique Pot.
I really enjoyed being with you and Marie in the bath tub and the discovery of Eric and Blondey was well-written. You definitely came off best (excuse the pun)...Marie or Eric...no question.
Most enjoyable. Backed with pleasure (literary kind),

LITTLE KRISNA AND THE BIHAR BOYS

Andrew Burans wrote 637 days ago

For the first short story written by you the Genie is well done. I like your choice to use the first person narrative voice, your created an excellent character in Chlo, the dialogue is realistic and well written and the story is definitely erotic. I also like the ending. Backed with pleasure.

Hi Emma,
I think it is so brave of you to put forward a book of poetry. Your short stories are amazing but I was grabbed by the exquisite prose .
I look forward to reading more, please upload as soon as possible.

the book cover is simply amazing. just love it. your long pitch was the very thing that grabbed me and i had to read on. your characters are not fiction they are real and are in my head. however they have to go home now. Please post more of your book so that i can continue reading, thanks
I have not idea who is rising on this site and who is not so I will carry on reading and comment further on as I would like to get this book of yours backed to assist it on the climb to the top.
Backed for sure my me. ..I would really appreciate it if your would look at my book, COMMENT , and back it. If not that is OK also
The VERY best of luck with your book

The genie is one sexy story. I just had to read the whole thing. It took me a while, but here I am. I can tell this was your first story. The only thing that ruins it is the grammer mistakes like the lack of apostrophes, the spelling out numbers, and more on the list. Just go back and clean this up. This story has great potential to it, just keep working on it.

This book is brilliant. I have only read a little, but I shall indeed, be reading more.

BACKED INDEED

Hope you get the chance to peek inside The Russian Hat.

warm wishes

Emma - I find My Life in Writing to be well-written, certainly needs some editing but that's easily fixed and nothing to worry about in the face of your way with words, especially in poetry. Keep writing! I do apologise for the delay in backing your book but my pc crashed and has only just been coaxed back to life! Balepy (Freckles the Fawn)

thank you stewart x

Vanessa Darnleigh wrote 696 days ago

Wow...there's a real passion in your writing that separates this from a lot of other so-called erotica on this site...the typos and hiccups are easily fixed. What you've got is a fire in your belly and it comes through like a surge of heat from your writing...well done! Keep it up...if you need any further advice please ask
Best wishes
Stewart

oops about the typos im using my mothers laptop and im not used to the keypad

quirkygirl84 wrote 706 days ago

thank you for you're kind comments, although I do have my own opinion on this book. I think it is slightl disoganised and could be lad out better. Which is why Im working on improving it and turning it into a mini autobiography and including my poems in it.

MY LIFE IN WRITING
This is an interesting collection of a short story and poems. I’m not the best judge of poetry but I think you have a real knack for expressing longing and loneliness by your poems. I particularly liked “I’d like to be somebody else” – you capture a common feeling that almost everyone experiences at some time. Also “Child through the window” that follows that. It’s simple, yet thoughtful. I’m adding this to my shelf. Burgio (Grain of Salt).
