The novel captures us holds us hostage within its pages until the last is turned. We search the words for adventure and intrigue. Characters attract us and we become them. Lines blur as time leaves us in a different world. A heroine in distress, a rogue to the rescue. We are but voyeurs sinking our senses into imaginary lives. Only in the Author’s mind is the tale’s fact from fiction. We care not how or why the words were written, only that they are there for us to devour. We judge not the reader for emotions stirred by the reading. We applaud the author for the angst and lust, fear and foreboding fed us. The novel is not unlike any other written words written to be read. LGR©12/01/15 |

"The novel is not unlike any other written words written to be read." Absolutely, Lori, that they are written to be read. Some, of course are more read than others, still they have been writ and awaits its time. ~ My inner world is my paradise and i am its keeper ~ |
