This is an amazing story of self-discovery for the character Cynthia. Ms. Simmons is a gifted storyteller. I have had the pleasure of reading an advanced copy. It is great read. I can't wait for the sequel!!!

Sophia, Your heartfelt story is sadly one that I understand a little. We have a wonderful friend who had suffered a lot of abuse in her life. First at the hands of her father then her horrid husband who she now has a restraining order on. You are very courageous to write about the subject. Well done I wish you success and happiness. Stuart

Sophia, I really love what I've read of your work thus far. Truely wonderful! This one happened to catch my eye :-) so glad I stopped by to read it. It's apparent that you're mastering the art of poetry as well and as a lover of writing in every form I am glad to have come across something so entertaining. Continue what you're doing!

It's Never as Good as the First Time.... (Short Story) - 6/1/2008 11:43:16 AM
I'll second that! You have reflections of romance that overide explicit eroticism. Many times we hype things up that are erotic in a love scence but your writing remains true to what's special about the joining of two beings. That is them having love for one another first and not just having a motion on the outside but a motion on the inside that goes deeper than a man into a woman. I think the Doctors call it a Heartbeat, the very origin of Love within two hearts.

Great article..... and review. Well written, too, which doesn't always happen in a smaller paper. Good luck with your book...and book signing. Are you getting a good reaction from the newspaper pieces? JD

Unseen Evil (Poetry) - 12/29/2008 4:19:51 PM
You have captured the "Unseen evil" with your style. Words have power, many speak before thinking and then the damage is done!

At Sunset (Poetry) - 12/29/2008 4:15:57 PM
A lovely and passionate writing! This leaves me wanting to go to the village

Beautiful work in the depiction of romance within such a setting. Beautiful

Caressing The Wind (Poetry) - 12/29/2008 9:55:47 AM
There are many layers to this piece and yet each line reafirms in my mind the inevitable longing to break lose of the bonds of love and understanding associated with those shared fears of gain and loss. Beautiful work, Sophia Amor

At Sunset (Poetry) - 12/16/2008 9:26:01 PM

Unseen Evil (Poetry) - 12/14/2008 8:59:09 PM
Yes... Simply go away, leave is all that can be done. The clearest message that says "I know who you are", "you used me as a reflection of who you wanted to be, but I will not reflect your illusions". It is good to write and make such hidden structures more visible. Axilea

Unseen Evil (Poetry) - 9/28/2008 9:27:06 AM
You express a profound truth within your verses here, Sophia. I wrote a poem which is somewhere "out there" entitled, "Words." It is precisely on the same theme. Thank you. Love and best wishes to you, Regis

"Bad love is as strong as death,it calls out like the grave", and brings misery to your "good lovers".

Caressing The Wind (Poetry) - 6/19/2008 9:45:15 PM
This piece is tragically beautiful. "touched by an angel now and then"............... A hollow call inside I sing............ and in its depths I see myself. You have the heart of the angel and his kiss of life.

Unveiled (Poetry) - 6/1/2008 11:53:12 AM
Whew this is definitely a big contrast from the story I just read but I think the ending is miraculous. Those last lines are like watching an actor running to escape the furious flames of the big explosion at the end of a action movie. Then the actor suddenly turning back to stare at the flames and say "I made it!" We'll sista looks like you made it and keep on extinguishing the flames outside and finding your own new light to your dreams that God has waiting for you.

Love can not only hurt... it can also heal. Don't give up! Nice poem. J. Earl Evans

Caressing The Wind (Poetry) - 5/15/2008 2:16:56 PM
Sophia, a broken heart is hard to heal & it takes some time before we can "trust" again. I enjoyed this sad heart rendering write.

Caressing The Wind (Poetry) - 5/15/2008 5:00:43 AM
Nice poem...the wind so inspires many works and yours is one that can breeze upon our minds... nice work... Art Sun...

My Lover is Mine (Poetry) - 5/15/2008 4:53:39 AM
A very nice work of love through poem...your thoughts express the depth of where love embraces the soul... nice work... Art Sun...

Unveiled (Poetry) - 5/14/2008 5:50:46 AM
"...only into a saviors arms can I be saved' '...give me back my maiden name". Oh this poem can really strike one straight to the heart, every word was like a lash. Whoever is in abuse needs to escape, then run without fail to a safety zone. You really poured it out here and sent out the cries of the hearts of many, many who are terrorized in this manner on a daily basis and throughout the day. OooooI absolutely DO NOT LIKE ABUSE in any form whatsoever. Thank you Sophia for sharing your words and I pray this is no one that we know (but it is not for anyone on this earth) Sincerely, ~Gwendolyn

My Lover is Mine (Poetry) - 5/14/2008 5:42:56 AM
