Beautiful Dreamer

It has everything; familial hatreds, great love, romance and failed relationships, attempts by the character to change patterns of life –in fact all the ingredients of a page –turner. It is written in a highly charged poetic style and is full of fine imagistic writing and It should be published both because of all the above and because it is an individual experience which has universal significance. - By Siobhan Campbell, Tutor on M A Creative Writing Course Kingston University
