MORTAL GHOST

It’s character-driven, that’s for sure.

Editor: Donna Sirianni
July 31, 2008

To me, the entire premise of the story was the most interesting thing about it.  The summary gives hints of action, suspense and fantastical elements that are all a driving force in any read (if that’s your thing, anyway).  Unfortunately I feel this story doesn’t quite follow through on the intrigue it promises, at least initially.

AN INTIMATE HISTORY OF THE GREATER KINGDOM

Now more my cup of tea

MeiLin Miranda is a good writer, and extremely creative.  Not only does she have a lively imagination, she also comes up with impressive ways to involve her audience, and designed a great website.  Individual chapters of her ongoing story can be humorous, erotic, thrilling and intriguing.  Her description of clothing and scenery is elegant and evocative.
