Of the Dragonfly

Five Stars!

Hi Audrey,

I'm sure you meet so many people but you signed a book for me at CrossIron Mills.
Your book was epic for me. I wrote down many beautiful sayings you had in there.
I have recently gone through a major life event and the story struck home more than ever. I wanted you to see the tattoo I had done today. I hope you don't mind.
Thanks for an epic adventure, indeed.

Sincerely,
Stacey G.

Of the Dragonfly hooked me with the first chapter and I willingly, enthusiastically let Audrey Gene take me on a fascinating journey with exciting twists and turns in almost each chapter. She juggles the mystical with nail-biting adventure with ease and confidence.

It was a treat for me to read Audrey Gene’s first novel, Of the Dragonfly. This story is a perfect blend of what makes for an exciting read, as you will discover. Audrey grabs you right from the start and never lets go until the thrilling, dramatic climax. The story is set in an exotic Caribbean location—with white sandy beaches and delectable food—wonderfully conjured up by the author. The excitement really begins when we find that this paradise is also inhabited by violent thugs and murderers who will stop at nothing to get what they want. In the midst of it all, Audrey tells an incredible, unique love story, guided by precognitive dreams and under the influence of spiritual forces. If you’re looking for a fascinating read with adventure and romance, this is the book for you.

Of the Dragonfly surprises and enthralls right from the first chapter. Gene has created a disarmingly likable protagonist who is thrust into a story of romance, thrills, travel, and hints of the supernatural. Told with passion and charm, its many facets don't overwhelm each other, but rather work together cohesively to tell the tale. The audience is willing to follow this character anywhere.

Of the Dragonfly allows you to escape with action and adventure through the use of Audrey Gene's descriptive imagery. You follow a young lady, Evangeline May Sinclair, on a venture to unravel the mysteries that catch her in a struggle for her life. The reader’s attention is caught and held as unexpected twists carry you through to the end. This is Audrey Gene’s debut novel, and her first attempt at creative writing, and I can’t wait for the next novel. Well done Audrey Gene, this is a book I will recommend to my friends.

► Went to Indigo in Signal Hill with my girlfriend, Stacey, to meet Audrey Gen and her husband. It was such an unforgettable pleasure to meet two people who share the same values and beliefs when it comes to a true and unconditional union of the souls. I felt at ease as if we have known these people for an eternity. I do believe in fate for without it we could never be so blessed to share such wonderful emotions. Different journeys about true love. Everlasting and solid. There is no mountain too high nor ocean too deep that could keep us apart. I have not read Audrey's book but know it was very instrumental and inspiring to Stacey in a time of sorrow and despair. Believe in love at first sight, trust in fate, and let your emotions and your heart be your guide to true inner strength and happiness. This is the recipe to real success. Love is all we need. Not material belongings. I am the richest man I know. Thank you, Stacey and Audrey Gene, for making this world a better place. Look forward to meeting again. I'm sure we will. ~ Kevin N.

► I’m going to disregard the rules of book reviews (if there are any) and write this review as the story of how I know Audrey Gene. I wouldn’t normally do this, but meeting her had a lot to do with how eager I was to read her book. Audrey showed up at our writer’s group a few years ago and was filled with ideas and knowledge about self-publishing. Every writer who comes to our group is unique and fascinating, but Audrey was special in that she was so positive and energetic. She wouldn’t tell us much about the book she had recently finished writing and was now seeking to publish. In fact, until I read a blurb about the book years later, all I knew was that it was aimed at a YA audience and that there was something fantastical about it. Audrey wasn't able to make it to many other meetings, but she came to one of my book signings, with a gift no less, and we communicated occasionally on Twitter and Facebook. She is very kind and obviously passionate about all aspects of writing. It was she who talked me into joining Twitter to promote my books. I understand she went through many ups and downs in her publication voyage. When I first met her, she was labouring to edit her book. The time and effort she put into this endeavor is obvious in the finished product. She also struggled with putting herself out there and admitting she was a writer to the rest of the world. I am so pleased that she has overcome these hurdles to present Of the Dragonfly with poise and confidence. Of the Dragonfly is as unique as Audrey. It is a love story with a fantastical beginning. It is filled with dreams, mystery and action. She has created an adventure book that grabs her reader’s imagination. I hate to give away anything, but it is a perfect escape from the corporate world to a freer, more intriguing world of beaches, dolphins and gangs. I highly recommend this as the perfect summer beach read or the exact antidote needed to get you through long, cold winter evenings. Well done, Audrey! ~ Samantha Atkins, Author

► Just finished reading “Of the Dragonfly” and I wanted to congratulate you on creating such an amazing novel. Cannot remember the last time I read a novel in just two days. Truly could not put it down. ~ Leslie L.

► I don't know why it took me so long to pick up your book and read it. I seemed to be waiting for the right moment...and the right moment did come just a few days ago. I was compelled to pick it up and couldn't put it down. There were many unexpected twists from romance to violence that made the ending impossible to predict. The storyline was creative and unusual. My friend Gail has already asked for the sequel and I am waiting for it too. Congratulations, Audrey! ~ Caroll S.
