EDITORS REVIEW:
“ Hi Gloria!
I just finished my second read-through of Maradonia and the Gold of Ophir.
IT’S A TRIUMPH!!!
Gloria, my love, your writing has evolved so much since your first novel. It is wonderful! The dialogue is fantastic, and your transition from chapter to chapter is very smooth.
I have a couple of favorite scenes: When Alana and her mother Lindsey meet their respective demises, and the storm that takes over the ship at sea. You got the tension in these two black moments perfect.
The second half
I LOVED the second half of the Gold of Ophir! What a magical, epic journey!
I truly got lost in it and swept away in the story.
Gloria your imagination is limitless! There were so many aspects that I enjoyed, that there are too many to list here. Its incredible how Maradonia has an unexpected surpise around every corner!
The writing is true literature here. I feel humbled to be a part of this…” Leah D
