Reviews

Lorna Howarth, The Write Factor: I have edited Clive Gilson's books for over a decade now - he's prolific and can turn his hand to many genres. poetry, short fiction, contemporary novels, folklore, and science fiction - and the common theme is that none of them ever fails to take my breath away. There's something in each story that is either memorably poignant, hauntingly unnerving, or sidesplittingly funny. Ragged A**** Ruffian: reviewed on Amazon in the United Kingdom on 27 January 2021 - A truly heartwarming, interesting, story with a wonderful narrative. Unquestionably a splendid read Songs Of Bliss: This has a very professional touch. I think your characters and the humour they bring to this are phenomenal. This is very cleverly and intelligently structured and layered, the succession of acts is so good. I - REALLY - LIKE - THIS - BOOK. Famlavan, commenting on Authonomy. Richer Daniel Laporte, California, December 2021: I just wanted to thank you once more for your help acquiring this beautiful collection. It's found a new home at the top of my library.
