There are
two main elements in a successful novel. Firstly there is the story, the tale
that must be told and secondly there is the author's ability to tell the story.
Neither of these strands can stand alone, a poor story cannot be well told by
even the most gifted writer and a great story will always suffer at the hands
of a scribe who cannot do it justice.
January Bain's Forever Man comes as a surprise then, for a first novel. It is not only a cracking tale but told with style and panache. Romance, yes, and vampire fiction, yes, and both of these genres have suffered their share of brickbats, but this is a highly readable book. It flows smoothly with both believable characters and dialogue in a realistic setting, always the mark of a good writer, and the events are entertaining enough, with ample twists and turns, to keep most readers hooked. This writer promises much and has launched her writing career with a novel that will provide a rewarding reading experience to those who are willing to enter its headily exotic realm.
