- Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2024What an amazing collection of poetry. I thoroughly enjoyed these and go back to a few of them when I’m feeling a certain way. Well done!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2024"Secret Whispers" is a beautiful and ample collection of primarily freeform poetry with an excellent section devoted to haiku. Tess is a talented poet who can convey deep thought and emotion through skillful words, regardless of subject matter. Reading these wonderful poems thoroughly entertained me—great work from an accomplished artist.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2022What a beautiful collection of poetry by Tess. Parts sad, awe-inspiring, sweet, and sexy showcasing the author's love, openness, heartbreak, and vulnerabilities. I thought it was a masterful rendering of putting one's thoughts, feelings, and experiences in written form.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2021Beautiful poetry. Well worth the purchase.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2022The poems tug between themes of love and hate, one life and other lives, and happiness and sadness. Many a brave write can be found, and “use me how you wish” is genius! The poetry comes across as seasonal, starting with summer, and tie together well with a strong ending that includes some witty drink names.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2021For anyone who loves poetry in all of its various forms, Secret Whispers does not disappoint. Tess’ poems uplift, inspire, and her words leave you with a sense of wonder. A beautifully designed book that makes a lovely gift for any occasion. For what would the world be without poets like Tess?

- Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2021Every once in a while, I'll encounter someone who tells me that they don't think they'd be very interested in poetry. Which is totally fine! Everyone has different preferences regarding reading material. However, if the above-mentioned person was willing to give poetry a try, Secret Whispers would likely be the first poetic volume that I'd recommend.
I don't think I've ever read a poetry collection that so hypnotically pulls you into a unique and vibrant world. These are words that you can get lost in. Much like life itself, it will be a dark and heart-wrenching journey at times, but you will emerge stronger and wiser than before.
If you love poetry, you'll definitely want to treat yourself to this book! If you're unsure of how you feel about poetry, or haven't really read any yet, don't let that stop you! You may find that Secret Whispers is just the introduction you've been waiting for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spellbinding
I am not a great reader of poetry as I find most authors try to show how clever they are with words rather than entertain the reader.
This collection had me enthralled from start to finish. Dark, light, emotional, evocative, and truly spellbinding. In some ways, it felt like I was reading a novel but one where I was allowed to make up the story. Small vignettes that seemed to link into each other as though they held a mystery that only you could try to fathom.
Superb from start to finish.
- Mirien SilowendëReviewed in Germany on September 27, 2022
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful collection
This has been exquisitely planned and presented. There are three sections, the Light, which is delicate light imagery, whimsical words, great alliteration - haiku, which was my personal favourite - and then dark, which were darker poems with a stacatto pace and a sharp bite.
I have to buy this one as a hard copy. It will look great on my bookshelf.
- Peter and Ann OlsenReviewed in Australia on September 29, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars Secret Whispers ; a wonderful collection of heartfelt poems.
I spent one weekend mesmerized by this wonderful book of poems. I could not put it down. Each verse is a work of art, enhanced by the inspired use of alliteration, expressing even more the various moods. I would go back again and again reading each poem, just to enjoy the marvellous cadences of this work. A great addition to my collection of books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully written book of poetry. Gorgeous illustrations. Thoroughly recommended.
Gorgeous book full of clever, witty, simple, heart wrenching poetry written by the lovely Tess. A great book to have close by when you want to escape to another place. Thoroughly recommended.
