"Absolutely never have been so affected.....as if you have a window to the soul of the reader. Holding your character's hand on an adventure with such intensity....guiding me through a resplendent... intimate tableau... transfixed...euphorically suspended.... carried on a breeze... swept into a storm....blown by a gust of wind...burned by ice....terrorized by fear... laugh with glee... entrancing light of Caravaggio.... mystery of the Hudson River School... force of Turner's nature....cacophony of Pollack....irony of Mark Tansey....magic of a summer day....so real....so magical...knots of suspense....a treasured fairy tale-matched to reality ....tranquility of a mother's embrace."
