[Recommendation at the The Control Panel by Remy, September 2003]
It amazes me how you can build up so much tension and so much excitement in the love scenes.

I have read Debt Price, haunting and wonderful, sad and comforting, the child that is warped and shaped into a vessel of pain by the person that has been shaped by pain, forgiven by pain, reborn out of pain.
[Bluesky, Letter to the author, June 2003]
A beautiful, erotic tale . . . Peterson is a writer with vision and scope.
[Pam Hollier, quoted on the reviews page of MAS-Zine]
I didn't want to like this piece. I mean, really. We're all here for lovely smut and [gay love] and you had to go and make me think. How dare you.

I have NO background in the classics. (Virgil is just a name to me, sorry). . . . LOVED the description of Dante behaving like a bumbling groupie!
[Nancy G., Letter to the author, June 2002]
[Glass Houses, Post to e-mail list, April 2002]
I adored the tonalities of it. It ranges from greys to very dark shot through with flashes of light. Beautifully done – angsty and edgy and just wonderfully written.
[Briony, Letter to the author, April 2002]
Delicately done, such that the reader is drawn deeper and deeper in to the situation, just as our unlikely hero is drawn to his destiny.
[Smara, Post to e-mail list, April 2002]
Im Stil eines Tagebuchs verfasst. Eine Gruppe von Räubern plündert ein Dorf und einer von ihnen macht einen Jugendlichen aus seinem Dorf zu seinem Bettsklaven.
[Recommendation by mllesatine (skip down to "Fool".]
Witty and ironic and rather sad all at the same time. I loved the way that you drew the developing relationship so lightly.
[Brief recommendation at orig_slavefic]
I once had a literature professor who demonstrated how "The Great Gatsby" is the perfect novel. Every chapter is carefully constructed; the pacing is perfect. I think this is probably the condensed version of the perfect slavefic. Just wonderful.

And now, I have your lovely story to add to my lifetime's worth of words and images linked to Arthur. [It is] most welcome. You write beautifully, with such gentle assurance, your characters real, solid and textured and fully dimensional. . . . I will always be grateful to you for sharing this vision of these characters.
[Raven, Letter to the author, March 2003]
Very powerful and engrossing but also sort of sad and melancholy particularly the tenderness between the two [main characters].
[Emma, Letter to the author, May 2002]
What a magnificent story, touching, romantic, brave, bittersweet, perfectly balanced.
[Nigel, Letter to the author, October 2003]
Beautifully written, and firmly placed historically and mythologically, and heart-breaking.

Fiction hasn't been capturing my attention for a long time now but you've sucked me into your Lawnville world from the first sentence of each tale.
[Barbara Sheridan, author of the gay erotic novel Blood Brothers, in a post to the author, June 2006.]
The writing is smooth, accessible and
witty. I have no hesitation in awarding this single author anthology
full marks.
[Five-star review by British Bull Dog at Rainbow Reviews.]
I'm amazed at your ability to create a story that is so amazingly hot and sexy and also makes a statement (without bludgeoning the reader over the head) that inspires thought-provoking analysis of self.

It's so great to see the Leather culture taken out of the normal 'club hub' and thrown into suburbia.

[Recommendation (skip down to "Dusk") by Parhelion]
A truly superb original-fic author, whose tales of dominance and submission, slavery, and sometimes even prisonerfic and rape have a distinct moral bent. (What the heck does that mean? You'll have to read to understand.)
[Recommendation (skip down to "Dusk") and another recommendation (skip down to "Dusk") by Maureen Lycaon]
He has a realistic and sarcastic tone to his works, with this edge of sweetness underneath.
[Recommendation (skip down to "Dusk") by LitGal]
Dusk writes beautiful Master/slave fiction. Her writing is truly some of the best I've read.
[Recommendation (skip down to "Dusk") by Kimberly Powell]
Outstanding original stories. Fascinating look into the human psyche.
[Recommendation by Aesthetic Kismet]
Dusk writes some amazing stories, filled with angst and pain, but also with love and compassion and understanding.
[Recommendation (skip down to "Dusk") by Nigel Puerasch]
The scenarios that you've written are believable within their worlds – which I hold to be a hallmark of great storytelling. I've felt as though I'm seeing into the minds and souls of the characters. They're real people in complicated circumstances.
Additionally, I find your writing to be smooth and flowing, evoking sharp images but without those sharp edges that cut the reader and force the intrusion of outside thought. . . . Your writing consistently allows me to remain immersed in the world you've created.
