Death’s Angel is a terrific read filled with characters I care about and want to see find a successful outcome. As soon as the book is in print, I’m buying two copies, one for me and one for my sister!

Another brilliantly crafted novel by Cheryl Tardif (Cherish D’ Angelo). This is a beautiful love story rippling with suspense and just the right amount of sensuality.Its great dialogue will sweep you along and its well stocked cast of colorful characters will draw you in and make you feel what they feel.A definite number one, for me!

My favourite by far is “Redeeming Characters.” Good luck to the author!

I enjoyed 18 out of 21 competing reads that finaled amazingly for completely different reasons (in my humble opinion)… But since I would never include myself, because this whole contest (to me) is not about me, (but about author authenticity, positivity and true talent, past and present, as well as devotion to the number of people that read her story, -> reaching out to readership & fan base, etc., etc.)

I’d have to say my favorite on this list is … (drum role please)…
HIGHLAND MAGIC by VALORIE DORR Congrats on making it this far (and to all the 18 out of 21 who made it thus far! You all know who you are Good luck to all 21!

Loved Death’s Angel!! It’s a wonderfully original premise and I’m fascinated with Devlin. I’ve been following the contest these past months and have enjoyed reading the excerpts. I hope I get a chance to read the rest of this story in print!

Congratulations to all of the semi-finalists! There are some great stories here.

This was an awesome contest, and many great entries. But I love Vivienne and Justin, and even Devlin in Death’s Angel.

Thanks to the editors of Dorchester for holding such a great contest on textnovel.com. And kudos to the founders of textnovel for such a unique platform!

I can see why the cell-phone noveling craze took off so well in Japan – it was great to have something new to look forward to in my inbox.

I haven’t had a chance to get to know all the writers in the contest yet, I was a late arrival in the game, but I can say that I’ve been impressed with the support and kindness they have shown to me.

I know my story isn’t a traditional romance and I know it’s not what everyone is used to reading – so for that I thank Dorchester for such an amazing opportunity to get my work out there and viewed.

I’m grateful to be included among such talented writers and I wish all of them the best in the next round.
