Ignorance is bliss, right? Wrong. As an avid reader and writer, I follow hundreds of writers on Twitter. You can't possibly click on every link every author posts and for that reason, some amazing work gets overlooked.
I'm not proud to say Lisa Fulham was one of them. I've followed her for a long time; she was one of my 'people you should follow' follows. I'm grateful for everyone I meet through social networking and am super excited to be meeting Lisa next month for cocktails and no doubt countless laughs. If you don't follow her, you should. She is a beautiful lady inside and out.
I missed her links for far too long; until I joined the VoElla Ladies Club. Lisa is a VoE Cheerleader and after clicking on her bio it was a light bulb 'oh heck, you write?!' kind of moment.
And boy, can she write. Her blog is full of poetry and posts that will have you going through her archive to make sure you haven't missed anything.




I read Lisa's debut novella, Out on Business last year and it got five sparkly stars for the steamy sex, glorious spanking, the hot boss in a suit, train sex...Need I go on? Didn't think so. Click the title and go buy it!

And then came Words of A Season. Until recently I'd skipped poetry, preferring to lose myself in a full length novel that took me all day and night to read. But the micropoetry on Twitter, picture captions and blog posts from the likes of Lisa Fulham got me intrigued and I'm now a proud poetry reader.
As Lisa mentions in the foreword of her collection, although Words of A Season has a winter theme, 'don't mistake a theme for a limitation.' It is split into four parts; Snow, Darkness, Depths and Love.
Each poem is different, one poem transitions fluidly into the next, making the book impossible to put down. I read it in one sitting. The way Lisa captures emotion and wraps it up in words that are beautifully haunting and powerfully real kept me hooked and I swiped my finger over the screen after the last poem and wanted more, much more - Maybe another collection?

Lisa writes erotica; it's her chosen genre, but Words of A Season is not erotic, yet lends itself to the same mood that erotica creates. When it comes to erotica I'm fussy; it isn't 'I love you's I look for, but the power of sex captured with words. Sex is never emotionless and it is cultivating those emotions and applying them to something to a piece of writing with no act of sex that, for me, is the mark of a great writer. That is what Lisa does. She uses her natural ability to awaken your senses and makes the simplest, otherwise insignificant things beautiful.
'So consumed in her question
She did not hear
The rose scream in pain
So distracted was she
She had forgotten
The rose lived too.'



Words of A Season gets five stars from me because I felt every emotion as I was transported to travel through every scene. The images were vivid; the pain, the longing, the love felt real and I was left searching for snowflakes when I looked up from my Kindle.


I have taken three pictures from Lisa's Twitter feed that she put words to, to share with you. Read, enjoy, remember and go and buy Words of A Season.
