HOLMES is one of the few authors I don’t give a second thought to purchasing
her latest book. I don’t need to know the title, see the cover, read the
synopsis. Nope. Just knowing she wrote it is good enough. To date I have read
every GINA HOLEMS book published. There is no uncertainty when starting one of
MS HOLMES books. I know I will be swept away into another world, and DRIFTWOOD
TIDES is no exception.
Holton
Creary is a struggling artist, though art is not the only thing he struggles
with. His life is slipping away and the true tragedy is, he doesn't care.
Libby
Slater may seem like she has it all, but something is missing from her life.
When she makes the decision to go on the hurt for that missing piece, she
couldn't possible know what she was headed into.
MS
HOLMES continues to hold me in awe of her writing. Her stories in themselves
are captivating, heartwarming and heart wrenching all in one. They will teach
you and inspire you. An avid reader and writer, it is not often that I dog-ear,
highlight, share with others and make a photocopy of as a reminder from
fiction. Non-fiction, yes. Fiction, no.
That alone says a heap about MS HOLMES talent.
If
her ability to create an amazing story was not enough, she is also an amazing
writer in the sense of originality. MS HOLMES ability to create unique
descriptions and phrases goes beyond the norm. When a writer does every aspect
in writing well, it can be lethal.
My
only hesitation in reading a HOLMES novel is the deep seeded desire it provokes
to write my own story. I often want to run to my computer to write a great
novel such as she. Must I even point out that I cannot wait for the next.
