“Multiple layers of mystique and suspense … an absolutely beautiful tragedy—Viola Robbins,“InD’Tale Magazine
“A sensual romance steeped in nature with a suspenseful undercurrent that’s tensioned with loss, danger, and lust.”—JP McLean author of the Dark Dreams Series
“An engaging and mystifying novel which tells a story that brings readers to a place of compassion, understanding, and relation.”—Alexa Blyan, Indigenous activist
“Fluid prose, vivid descriptions of the lush natural world, and well-developed characters”—Ottawa Review of Books
“Practical and at the same time rooted in spiritual understanding. A perfect combination!” —Philip Carr-Gomm, psychotherapist and former Chief of the order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids
“Hawkin serves hearty doses of inspiration and imagination while frequently drawing on giants of literature and philosophy.” —Publishers Weekly
“The heart and passion that drove this book are reflected beautifully in this narrative … very much in tune with other great books like Stephen King’s On Writing— Anthony Avina, author & reviewer
“I’m so thankful Hawkin wrote this unique and beautiful writing book. It is, at once, a craft tool and a spiritual journey guided by a skillful, compassionate mentor.” —Sionnach Wintergreen, Men of the Shadows series
“If writing is a journey, then Hawkin is the perfect guide to its unexplored and untamed reaches: inspiring, forthright, and inventive.” —Marie Powell, Last of the Gifted series
“Historical contexts meet modernity as we travel with the poet through the Canadian wilderness, along Caribbean shorelines and beyond to winding European streets. The specificity and directness of language coupled with evocative imagery holds us tight to the story wrapped inside each poem. At the core of Gail’s poetry, is a meditation on love—the heart-swell of its beginning and the jagged fracture of its ending. —Gwen Tuinman
“Gail M. Murray explores the worlds of nature, travel and love with the heart of a romantic and the skill of a wordsmith.” —Bonnie Thomson, Another Cup of Hot Apple Cider
“In this wonderful book of poems, Gail creates with her gentle, evocative brush, strokes that flow with ease across the pages. In her lines, sensual adventures unfold for the observer. She invites the reader along ancient mornings and evenings to wander cobblestone walkways and flower-laden verandas, while stray cats meow on steps once traveled by centuries of peasants and foreign languages.” —Patrick Meade, Wooden Bridges and Other Realms and Lemon Pies
