FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Watch out Hollywood. Your book sounds like a great treasure no funning intended. Let me leaf through it and comment later on down the line when I get there. Loose notes here but actually very punctually correct and satisfying for a reader. I LOVE historical romances or adventures. Your coat of armor looks tremendous.

PRAISE AND APPLAUSE: For giving us so many chapters I will give you gps. You deserve them from a reader. I like your style it is detailed. But will it be detailed enough? I'll look out for that. APPLAUSE! Excellent starting gate.

GRAMMAR: I will condition myself to see the characters and their voices through dialogue. That way I can tell if your grammar has gelled well enough.

SUGGESTIONS: None. What can I say to suggest but to continue on your journey with this piece. Lucky we have you in First Peoples to receive a manuscript like this.

Thanks for the grand good job!

IMPRESSIONS: What a great storyline for your novel concerning "Contessa". This follows like a really good page-turner. The characters like Contessa, Morning Rain, Amanda, Jack and Tim and Professor Raymond give a showy panacea of emotions and moves in the plot. I love your plots. They intrique me. I like the mention of the Professor at the end. Something that will be going on. Contessa and Tim look foreboding with her nonchalant warding him off. The Pirate Ship scenes are excellent. A lovely storyteller you are!


PRAISE AND APPLAUSE: I like your style. Your simple basics and your characters names and sustenance. This is breaking into a "Princess Of Scruples". It looks like a really good novel like that.

GRAMMAR: No mistakes.

SUGGESTIONS: Continuation is your greatest feat. Volume will tell. It will all fall into place.

Review of Where are You?  
In affiliation with Circle of Sisters  
Rated: E | (4.5)


IMPRESSIONS: The many questions that this poem examines have a general ending: located in the title. A poem for someone perhaps not known yet, and a wish for a lover.

PRAISE AND APPLAUSE: Interesting lines of endearment for something in waiting. The ghost of someone known already who you love? Someone not known but a star out in the universe who perhaps you will find?

GRAMMAR: Good enough verse.

SUGGESTIONS: None.

Review of Blue Bird  
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: ASR | (5.0)


IMPRESSIONS: I love what you do with a poem. Somehow, you are natural. A true poet. Your batting average has always been high and I commend you for that. Noone would disagree. This poem gives me a wonderful storyline with a poem in passing. One that stands out. One that gives us spring in the air and spirited thoughts of bluebirds. It is very good.

PRAISE AND APPLAUSE: I feel I would love to applaude you for giving us something I noted in the 70's with my Pittsburgh Group of Poets. It is a natural way to write, hip and with free verse versions of good material. Content is meaningful. I like your non-form of too much punctuation with this one. Your motherly instincts even show in it. It becomes a familiar personal moment at one point.

SUGGESTIONS: None. You have achieved a good, good poem.

Review of My Love...  
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: E | (4.0)


Impressions. What beautiful images. Much to think and ponder on.

Praise and Applause: Romantically speaking you have embraced a uphoria.

Grammar: I see your grammar as having problems. You need a comma after morning. Then the word "and" cut. After "diamond" a comma and then cut "that is" of the next line. I had a confusion with how "waterfalls" being "swept away" and why with "just one caress?" It should follow perhaps without the word "create" maybe being "crying" or "weeping". A comma after "give you" and add "a" before "paradise". Somehow "broken" to me isn't the correct word perhaps it might be "forsaken". "tears" and suddenly "enchanting kiss" perhaps should eclipse themselves more. They are very opposite.

Suggestions: My grammarical changes are my suggestions. You have beautiful moments that need to be emphasized.

Write on. I'm proud to review you for Simply Positive as a feature.

Review of My Cat Tigger  
In affiliation with NAFP Reviewer's Group  
Rated: E | N/A (Review only item.)


Gee Megan, everyone in First Peoples will just love your story about Tigger. I can't believe you saved her in a fire. I didn't even know your first house burnt down. There is so much in your portfolio that I can always find such treasures that are personal memories and many good and wonderful moments. What I loved about this story again is your heart was on the line when you needed to save your very own best friend Tigger and you did it, you saved her! How brave!

I liked your details for us. You made it a story to remember.

FIR*Star*ST}e:star} IMPRESSIONS: This is so original and yes inspirational. You have a high level of knowledge it seems. Your footnotes were very helpful too. I thought of McCartney's plan on "Blackbirds singin' in the edge of night" and loved your poem. It gave me strength and a lean on peace. Just loved it. Your stanzas ran smoothly and had a cut above the rest. I followed the plan and could see it. I also liked the momentary doubt. It brought your words to the ground. To contemplate.

PRAISE*Star**Star* AND APPLAUSE*Star*: I saw excellent free verse in this. Very respectable. Good two last lines to finalize.

GRAMMAR: Nothing, really. No mistakes.

SUGGESTIONS: You are taking a very interesting journey in this folder. No suggestions. I'd love to read more of it if I can find time. Write On!

IMPRESSIONS: What an enjoyable story concerning knights-of-honor. It showed an honorable position of Alain and his world. The language of the piece was done well--good description and excellent story-telling.

PRAISE AND APPLAUSE: I love a willing-suspension-of-disbelief. I feel that in this piece. Nicely secretive. I like your ingenuity with this piece. Nice world of fantasy you have created. I applaude your writing.

GRAMMAR: I have seen no mistakes.

SUGGESTIONS: Keep writing!

Thanks for being a part of First Peoples. It was a pleasure to review you for them.

Review of Last Breath  
In affiliation with Native First Peoples Group  
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)


IMPRESSIONS: I find non-fiction interesting to read. Because it has really happened, it it that much more exciting or phenomenal. I found your piece is to be so so smooth. With just the right touch of flavor to it, and where you were from and what your Daddy was like, you appeared to have taken time to write this. It had a voice that was unique and gave us a candid tongue that many pieces get high ratings for. I see where you were coming from. Daddy wasn't always an angel. And Mom knew it. The piece never let up, really. It was packed with action in an informative manner. I love family stories. And this one I just love too!

PRAISE AND APPLAUSE: You should be applauded for showing your concern for a death in your family and praised for showing so much love for your father. By the end of this piece, I knew you forgave him for all he might have done wrong.

GRAMMAR: Couldn't see any mistakes. This is what makes this piece a marvel. Excellent spelling, grammatical moves, dialogue.

SUGGESTIONS: Keep writing! You have talent.


Thanks for being a part of First Peoples. I am.

Excellent telling of how Jane Austen books appeal to you. I liked your presentation. It is proud and detailed with quite a few cues to Austen. Anybody reading this might want to go off and try reading her. You and your adventures! They are so swell. I think I would love to read the Michael Ford book. Take-off books like that always send me. Hope you are well. Your reading adventures are always intriguing.

Review of My Oxygen  
In affiliation with Circle of Sisters  
Rated: E | (4.5)


FIRST IMPRESSIONS: An excelllently original poem to review. I like your lines, your premise, your ending. You have captured us "beneath the lid" as it seems. Although it is sealed with mystery in one way, it becomes what you call "oxygen" by the end of the poem. Excellently personal.

PRAISE/APPLAUSE: This piece has oriiginal style. It doesn't muster up words. It writes itself. It can be a mark for the author's higher ground I think.

SUGGESTIONS: None. It was so well done grammatically. And the spelling was flawless.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: I am a Christian believer and find this poem awesome. I have given it a high mark because I feel it really deserves that
It moves with such Presence and gives every indication to be a thorough prayer for us to think seriously on. I can trust this poem. That is why I feel it is moving and ahead of the crowd.

PRAISE/APPLAUSE: Each line of this poem is lacy and frivolous and gives us a peace of mind. There can be hope then. It doesn't quit and give out a negative message. I was hoping for that. I would much rather have it be a sign of good will and hope when our Savior is concerned. I will as you say, use the last line and "linger near thee". It gives us a breath of good air.


SUGGESTIONS: Great rhyming form. Good style. No suggestions but that to write on!

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: First of all, I'm glad you have mentioned the One, the One who saves us. I love these kinds of poems. I find compassion and serenity in winter and it may be because of prayer, I don't know. I liked the premise of your poem. Reverently to God, congrats on a good poem.

PRAISE AND APPLAUSE: Will there be promise in Spring? Let us write another poem to insure it may come.

SUGGESTIONS: Spice up your grammar. Make it a little more clearer. Examine your poem and find the best way to read it and then make line endings so that you can be more accurate. And most of all, write on!

Review of A Lost Muse  
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: E | (5.0)


FIRST IMPRESSIONS: What a classic piece! It skips through the sad moment of losing inspiration and for me it is all too real. It happened to me
when I destroyed a long manuscript early in life. I could never get back what I had. It was a long time until I adjusted myself to writing that emotions
came back to me.

PRAISE AND APPLAUSE: What excellent stanzas. Resonent and clear. You know the path which you are traveling on. Your wish is clear. Get back, get back. This is a very real occurrence with many. I think this piece plays to an audience. A popular theme.

SUGGESTIONS: Don't do anything with this to improve. It speaks for itself. Fulfilling and thorough.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: I am reviewing a Mod for First Peoples here. It is only one opinion. Take what you can from it. I would say this was most agreeable to read. It thoroughly made me feel good and I tried to picture myself in every setting and scene and felt blown away from the grand picture you shelter here. Your images are very original and precious. I loved each part of this. It was simple to read and yet excellent to understand. I found happiness just reading it. I feel that at times I've been depressed especially with money matters and just to think of these things in a favorite way is a good way to forget your troubles and come up smiling.

PRAISE AND APPLAUSE: You gave a great effort into this. I can tell it was not done in five minutes. I liked its descriptive detail and its care for the reader. I think you were really thinking of the reader, and I commend you for that.

GRAMMAR AND SPELLING: No mistakes I can come up with.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: I found this poem deeply moving. It searches the soul and gives strength of character. I love women poems and this one is special in that it is a woman's military poem. It speaks from honesty and does not gest. It adds to good reason for the military woman. And the imagiac themeof the "silent bugle" is as catchy and clever as you'll get.

PRAISE AND APPLAUSE: Why not accept this poem? WIll everyone? No. Because they are biased. But I really do. I have come to enjoy your poems and pieces and its given me a side to the military I just never read about before coming to WDC. Excellent stuff!

GRAMMAR AND SPELLING: I liked your ryhme and rhythm. No spelling mistakes that I can see.

IMPRESSIONS: *Star**Star**Star* Joy, your style here is much like those poems I like to read in "Little Press" Productions and especially there favorite darling and a corrrespondent of mine, Ms. Lyn Lyfshin. I liked your style and I liked your premise. Your last line did justice to the point of the poem and even though it was slightly intellectual {which I love} I still could get full comprehension of this poem.

PRAISE AND APPLAUSE: There is something about you Joy. You make everything new and exciting. You must have an omnipotental brain. It sounds so exceptional. Just love your choice and words. Love your psychology. And you can get yourself down on the ground too!

SUGGESTIONS: Get a little more loose and add those high intellectual touchstones and you may acheive more original stuff.in a poem like this. This could be good for you in publishing your works.

IMPRESSIONS: This item was listed with Rising Stars Items for November and December. I am happy to review it. How sad, Shi. I know of your Sig Shoppe and am accquainted with the fact that you are a published writer and have reviewed you lightly in the past. This particular review gives you sympathy and best wishes for a sad sad sequel of occurences that somehow happened to your family. I am sorry to hear this all went on. You sound like a great run of family. Even though I am across the United States in the state of Pennsylvania, I wish you condolences at this late date.

PRAiSE AND APPLAUSE: A great write. Detailed and filled with inspiration for us to remember on WDC.
