I love the humor and you have a unique voice. I edit for other publishers as well as Mojocastle, and believe me I see it all."Editor Michele Dowdey on 'Circe'"Circe is a fascinating study in monstrosity. The writer has found her voice."Roger Culpan,Administrator, The Writing Workshop, Warrington, EnglandPacy, narrative style and the brisk.no-nonsense personality of the narrator, Circe. Lively, tremendous energy, fun and highly original. I loved the three ascetics and the carpet that had once been a man! I loved 'One Man's Poison, another Man's Meat'. It is hilarious and the combination of erotic writing and what is pretty near slapstick humour is highly entertaining.Dr. Hilary Johnson, Tutor, The London School of Journalism"Circe is a highly original, experimental and brilliant work." Professor P. Lal, Founder Member, Writer's Workshop, Calcutta.( This workshop was responsible for first making heard the voices of famous authors like Kamala Das and Vikram Seth.)
