Comments on: Edge Boston- Rough Cut review http://www.vincentdiamond.com/2008/07/edge-boston-rough-cut-review/ musings from a romantic smutster Mon, 04 May 2009 23:59:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 By: neyronrose http://www.vincentdiamond.com/2008/07/edge-boston-rough-cut-review/comment-page-1/#comment-257 neyronrose Thu, 07 Aug 2008 19:36:18 +0000 http://www.vincentdiamond.com/2008/07/edge-boston-rough-cut-review/#comment-257 <p>Thanks. It's a bit too cold here in the western suburbs of Philadelphia to grow camellias, but I did make it to the Camellia Show at Longwood Gardens this year, and the flowers were lovely. I could talk gardening for days, and you (or any other gardeners) are very welcome to comment on my LJ posts, but I don't want to take up too much of your space here -- unless you have posts that are just about gardening. :)</p> Thanks.

I (lazily) collect caladiums myself, I used to have a house with three specimen camellias, Katherine North, I think. Never got the chance to show them because they didn't bloom 'til Valentine's Day, and the Florida shows are always in January. </p> Thanks for the kind words.

I was really happy to find their stories all in one place in Rough Cut. So I'd think it was quite fair to say that romance is a theme through many of the stories -- or that you walk that fine line between romance and erotica really well. I like the complexity of your characters, and the way that the relationship development continues through the stories. I'm not sure if that's what the reviewer meant, but that's my take on your work.</p> I followed the “Steven & Conrad” stories through Best Gay Love Stories and Best Gay Romance, often thinking that their stories were the best in those collections.

As indeed it should. By the way, I left a review on Amazon UK, but you may not pick that up on the other side of the ocean.</p> I agree with dementordelta – and at least the book impressed him enough to write something about it.

He said it <i>could</i> have been tepid and stale, but wasn't. I'd take that. :)</p> <p>And a new reviewer is going to be reaching a new audience, which is always good.
