Guide for Readers

Blind Vision

"Blind Vision's forte is the development of its characters and to a lesser extent of the intrigue that surrounds them. Blind Vision is a novel of people, not events;
of burgeoning relationships not bloody battles; and of imperfect characters' emotional development, not of irredeemable evil despots or angelic do-gooders....if you enjoy well-plotted pseudo-mediaeval fare with an element
of nicely understated romance, then
Blind Vision should amply satisfy."

"...You'll also root for reluctant lovers Zuli and Phillipe as hard as if they were your dearest friends. Of course, by the end of the book, they are."
