Jackson Free Press Review of Never Ceese

Thought I'd dig this review back up. I solicited a local magazine here in the Jackson Area for a review early on, even before Never Ceese made the Bram Stoker Preliminary Ballot for 2006 for Superior Achievement in a First Novel. I was very pleased with Lynette's words. So glad she enjoyed Never Ceese. I attempted to find the link to the review but it's broken. I did notice that while other book reviews posted very rarely got more than 20 views if any, mine got over one-thousand. There was another review of another book on the same page though but that's the way the other reviews were done as well. So there ya go. 

Do note that Black Bed Sheet Books is now the publisher of Never Ceese and my Thirsting for Blood Series. And the best place to purchase them are at my publishers website!





The Jackson Free Press is a local paper here in Jackson. Here is Lynette Hanson's review of Never Ceese.

In her first novel, Jacksonian Sue Dent paints a vivid picture of the trials and tribulations of family life and love. But you shouldn’t think that “Never Ceese” (Journey Stone Creations, 2006, $12.99) details a life like the one lived by Beaver Cleaver: Dent populates this book she calls a spiritual fantasy with other-worldly characters.

I, for one, never thought before to try this style of novel since I lean toward mysteries and Southerners who write about the South, but I found Dent’s tale of determination one I couldn’t put down. It gave me pause to read of Richard’s drinking blood he had warmed a bit in the microwave, blood he’s gleaned from sources found on his computer. Right away, I realized that Dent’s two main characters, Richard the vampire and Ceese the werewolf, break the stereotypical movie mold for these creatures. Getting inside their heads and learning what makes them tick is just one reward you’ll receive in reading “Never Ceese.”
