Praise for Immortal Muse:
"Leigh seamlessly inserts his two immortals into history, playing
with actual people and events to deliver beautifully-rendered
glimpses of different eras. Leigh strikes the perfect balance
between past and present, real and imagined." —Publisher's Weekly
(starred)
"Mythology, alchemy and fantasy all coalesce in Leigh's Immortal
Muse, creating the perfect combination for readers looking for
their next stellar read. Leigh has masterfully created a
fantastical adventure for his audience.... The alternating chapters
of past and present will whet readers' appetites for more adventure
and intrigue, and will leave them wanting more. The author weaves
mythic history with a bit of action, murder and, of course,
spice.... Perfect for those craving a bit of intrigue and
history." —RT Reviews (top pick)
"Sweeping in scope and full of action and danger, this
well-constructed historical fantasy takes an original look at the
nature of creativity. If Nicholas is slightly mustache-twirly in
his evilness, the compelling 'immortal muse' Perenelle more than
compensates." —Library Journal
"A masterpiece of historical fantasy.... Those looking for a
sure-footed, exciting, and thoroughly rewarding race through the
history of creativity in the past several centuries--and who
doesn't want that?--will not be alone in finding this a book to
thrill the passions and mind alike. It is a terrific fantasy, a
superlative historical read, and a tragic romance all in one.
Highly Recommended!" —SFRevu
"Fascinating and compelling, this might find some award nods."
—Philadelphia Weekly Press
"A unique exploration of art, passion, and love." —Heroes and
Heartbreakers
