Alison Mackie's The Gypsy Chronicles is a bed time story for grown ups, and tonight my friends, the subject is Love! Upon each Matrimonial bed Tzigany de Torres makes, he bestows a potent charm, one which guarantees a lifetime of pleasurable love making within the marriage. And together with his matchmaker wife, Gitana, they are in the business of making love happen. If you were to assume this book is about sex, you would be mistaken. There is no sex in this book! There is something even finer: LOVE! Or should I say, quietly, the making of love... If there is something missing inside of your heart, you may find it returned to you, here. For when you allow yourself to be drawn by the stronger pull of what you truly love, the most beautiful dream, you will discover, is your very own. Praise for The Gypsy Chronicles! "Strictly Fabulous!" Meredith Blevins Author of Red Hot Empress, The Hummingbird Wizard & The Vanished Priestess writes: "The romantic and exotic tone of The Gypsy Chronicles is strictly fabulous. And the notion of charmed matrimonial beds? No reader could ask for more to spark so many levels of the imagination. Alison Mackie has created a mystical world, beautiful in its undertaking, that will lure even the most cynical souls to seek the mysterious ways of deep love and Gypsy magic." Meredith Blevins. Author of The Hummingbird Wizard. "The Gypsy Chronicles makes your soul want to tap dance!" Cate Montana Of The Global Intelligencer & Bleeping Herald writes After a long day editing articles on consciousness and quantum mechanics, The Gypsy Chronicles, is a delightful tonic. Lighthearted and yet uplifting, this little gem of a book does much to soothe the spirit and assure us that life is divine indeed. Filled with genuine joie de vivre, it makes you divinely happy to be alive and eager to know more about the lives of Gypsy matchmaker Gitana and her enchanted matrimonial bed-making husband, Tzigany de Torres." Read The Bleeping Review "The Gypsy Chronicles is a treat for the imagination!" DJRAMA Miami Najis Tuke Alison... I am falling in love with this story... I am not done yet... But I Love it! The Gypsy Chronicles is a treat for the imagination!!! It truly captures the mystery of being a gypsy in a real sort of way.... I'm currently with Angicaro & Raguel..I am reading much faster now..ha ha... Te aves baxtali pen! "Alison Mackie channels the power of love with desire's beguiling sway..." Peter Klassen Vancouver "Alison Mackie's Gypsy Chronicles mark a joyous debut into the world of magic realism. You will be deeply grateful for your invitation into her colorful creation, and for the chance to meet her bold characters, men and women who channel the power of love with desire's beguiling sway. Mackie's Gypsies are proud, intensely playful, and entirely loyal to their chosen fate. Filled to the brim with tasty vignettes and dew-dusted with tangy metaphors, her tales are bound to leave your palette aching for a few more drops. In the light clouds floating across the horizon of her Spanish vista, you will catch glimpses of an unknown realm. Dream along with her, and these glimpses may expand to become a steady gaze." "The Gypsy Chronicles works in an unorthodox way." Steven Siciliano, author of La Vedette Los Angeles Alison, I finished "The Gypsy Chronicles" while on vacation in Mexico. I enjoyed it very much as a novel creation/objet d'art. It works in an unorthodox way, which I'm sure pleases you! Gitana does a great job of capturing just how fun and sexy a place Spain is today; the modern overlaying the traditional in a truly successful juxtaposition one can't find anywhere else. It brought me back to my times there. "Two thumbs way up!" Angel Moreno Telling a provocative story in such a humorous and innocent way is never an easy task. And speaking about Gypsies is never easy! But Alison Mackie has managed to perfectly describe the Gypsy soul with the most beautiful and passionate stories I have ever read. Every character in her book has a magic of its own, and the way she describes every single passage, moment, and scene, is simply brilliant. The use of Spanish dichos is fascinating, and her portrayal of the “duende” phenomenal. I discovered that TGC is not only a novel about love, but also, an invitation to imagine and explore a new way of living that is ruled by the freedom of the soul. Two Thumbs Way Up! "An artfully arranged mosaic of colorful stories and memorable characters..." Dulique Journalist for Czech Daily Newspaper The blurb on the cover stated that I would find stories full of love inside, which did not arouse much enthusiasm in me – indeed, it sounded to my ears like a dime store novel for women. However, when I began to read, what I found instead was an artfully arranged mosaic of colorful stories and memorable characters that takes place in the town of Ronda, Andalusia. The action centers around Gitana and her husband Tzigany whose workshop for matrimonial beds is where the individual stories meet.I could not help but compare it with Amélie of Montmartre – There is throughout a great amount of stylization, playfulness and surprising twists in the plot which will bring a smile and giggle. "A bold and delightful must read for anyone who loves flamenco." Karen Bowles; Malibu Arts Review There are many stirring sequences in Alison Mackie's The Gypsy Chronicles, including a bold and delightful must read for anyone who loves flamenco. The reader is treated to a scene so immediate in its descriptive quality that their eyes run along the pages, and they forget they are holding a book! They are at the Café de la Alegria, witnessing an explosion of the strong life force and creative surge of duende, experiencing the moment when two artists and fiery spirits meld and offer up their souls to each other Interactive Book Page: Click corner to turn pages.

What Myspace Readers are saying about Alison Mackie's The Gypsy Chronicles* "The Gypsy Chronicles is a treat for the imagination." DJ Rama "Alison Mackie has created a mystical world, beautiful in its undertaking, that will lure even the most cynical souls to seek the mysterious ways of deep love and Gypsy magic." Meredith Blevins, author of The Hummingbird Wizard "Old fashioned" values rub shoulders against modern sexual mores creating a certain frisson, in this charming Spanish style tale. Charming vintage postcard illustrations from Spain alongside the more modern imagery of 'Angicaro' makes The Gypsy Chronicles a hybrid of old and new, as well as "a novel creation and objet d'art" Stephen Siciliano Each chapter is prefaced with the poetry of Rumi as translated by Coleman Barks, as well as Fredrico Garcia Lorca, George Borrow.

Her muscular well trained words ring and sing and leap off the page, capturing the heart by surprise! Flamenco and Gypsies and Spain. Oh My!!! |
