Effigy in Garnet
Well, my goodness. A literary vampire tale that does not have the word “vampire” in it. It’s a love story, of course, not a vampire story. Still, how could I possibly refuse this one…?
– Tyree Campbell, Managing Editor, Sam’s Dot Publishing
ps. This is a really good story.
Silver Apples of the Moon
Sharon Bidwell is definitely one to watch. ‘Silver Apples of the Moon’ (ROADWORKS#13) was a story I couldn’t resist. It had all the elements that are important, including originality, great characterisation - you can almost feel the pain and anguish - and sensitivity that makes the reader remember the story long after reading it. As an editor, I read a lot of stories, most of which I don’t remember, but this one had me gripped from start to finish. This is a writer who’s going places.’

‘Space, Man’
Delightful! Simply delightful! This Fling is very well written, with a degree of character development that is suited to the length. … Both are endearing, and it is the characters that make the storyline. Alex’s fight with himself was truly entertaining and Mani’s (the man in white) own innocence was cleverly portrayed. There is some sex between the characters, which is at times rather unusual, as only sex between human and incorporeal can be. The sex is not the centre of the storyline though, the romance between the pair is – and a charming romance it is, too. That’s not to say the sex is not great, it is. Wonderfully described and fairly varied. Space, Man is an excellent, smooth flowing, out-of-the-ordinary quick read.
The character of Bray of the typical beach bum was hysterical. Alex’s response to Bray’s offer for a last ‘butt’(Sex) was highly amusing. Alex’s response to his initial encounter with Mani was memorable! Mani’s strangely beautiful looks hooked Alex in spite of his promises to himself. The situations that Mani got Alex in were both comical and intriguing. It was wonderful to watch the evolution of Alex and Mani’s relationship and how they overcame their differences. Thanks goes to *Ms. Bidwell* for such a heartwarming story.

Rose Light:
I know absolutely nothing about British nineteenth century class distinctions yet it felt real to me even in its remoteness. You were absolutely right when you said “You think you know this story, but you don’t…”
I have to say, as an admirer of BBWs, your comparison of Margaret’s sex with Rose’s father shook me up … it still lingers with me … and yet you totally nailed your intention in that scene. I suspect it will be a long time before I forget that one. Not to mention the ending…
But the novelette of “manners” the whole E.M. Forrester feel to the meeting at the graveyard at the beginning … there is so much to the story that fascinates me. Yet above all, your story felt real. Thank you for the incredible read.

A Slow Fuzzy Screw:
I enjoyed learning about these two very different men along with their histories, fears and desires. The blistering hot sex scenes took my breath away.
…‘not to be missed’: … a unique story which is not so much a love story as it is the story of two men, each with painful pasts…
Virgin Special:
“This story…wow. Just…wow!
