Review of X and I – S. K. Nicholas by Kristiana Reed
When S. K. Nicholas announced the X and I snippets on his blog were to become a novel, I stopped reading them. I knew at that moment I wanted to read the novel as a whole; I wanted as much as possible to be a surprise. I knew it would be beautiful. What I did not realise, … Continue reading Review of X and I – S. K. Nicholas by Kristiana Reed
Review of Conversations with Women – Cebo Campbell by Kristiana Reed
Originally published on Reedsy Discovery. I expected Conversations with Women to be about women through a male gaze. I expected to grimace at Campbell’s attempt to capture the female experience. Both expectations were to be proven false within the first few pages. Campbell provides an outlook which is original and unique; an outlook which challenges … Continue reading Review of Conversations with Women – Cebo Campbell by Kristiana Reed

I laughed and cried as Heald expertly told a story about healing and family (whether tied by blood or friendship). When Champ’s wife, Pat, dies, both he and his family lose their peacekeeper and grief, as it so often does, slips its fingers … Continue reading Review of Sassafras – Trish Heald by Kristiana Reed
Review of A Codex for Gnostics – Obsidian Eagle by Kristiana Reed
Originally published on Reedsy Discovery. On reading the synopsis of A Codex for Gnostics, the novel Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman came to mind. Gnostics promised to be a humourous and pithy account of universal and heavenly struggles. However, despite Eagle being an incredibly talented writer who showcases their knowledge of a plethora of ancient subjects … Continue reading Review of A Codex for Gnostics – Obsidian Eagle by Kristiana Reed
Why Poems? By Donna Matthews
why poems? a bread crumb trail back to me what did I see? what caught my fancy? the cerulean hue of the spring sky a babe’s cheeks in the cool shade the bright red cardinal from the corner of my eye a boy lost in his imagination people watching behind sunglasses what stories will I … Continue reading Why Poems?
