1 Dear Andrej,

I have just completed reading your story, "The Gilded Cage". I wanted you to know how much I enjoyed reading it. It was the type of story that I found I could not put aside and finally I did not want it to end. You have a wonderful talent. I hope to read more of your work and I encourage you to please keep writing.

All the best to you,
Mike

1 Hi, Andrej:

I finished your story of love and courage in the 19th century court of Jakobus Rex, The Gilded Cage. If only we all had a brother like Friedrich, life for gay men would be easier by an order of magnitude. Actually, my only two complaints about your otherwise charming story are:

1) I wished it had been longer so that I could have relished the detail and sumptuous life of the court.

2) I would like to have seen more interaction between the two royal brothers (of course I do not mean sexually). I believe that your already good story, would become truly exceptional if you had fleshed out Friedrich's character a bit more. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed Gilded Cage.

By the way, is there any chance that Stefanie's fiancé was the unfortunate Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria?

Once again, thank you for all your work in creating these superb stories of gay love.

Kind regards,
Max

1 Andrej,

I just finished reading The Gilded Cage and really enjoyed it very much. It is so rare to read good gay literature these days. Too many current authors do not even take the time to proof-read and correct their errors. That is definitely not true in your writing.

I look forward to reading all of your stories. Thanks again.

Larry

1 Andrej:

Thank you so much for having directed me to your web site. I found and printed out the rest of Gilded Cage and just last evening finished the story! When printed from your site, the print is larger than on nifty. This is good for my 70 yr. young eyes.

Now, I need your advice. Which of your other stories do you suggest I read next knowing that I found GC so good and interesting?

Best wishes!

Kent

Simply wanted to express my delight & enjoyment in reading The Gilded Cage. Story is so very interesting and reading most enjoyable.

Just noticed you wrote this in 1993... wonderful to just now be reading. Creative work. So curious where the relationship with his partner-lover will go & the direction the king's life journey-path will take, etc.

Thank you, Don

1 Hi
I just want to thank you for your story about the gilded cage. I have been captured by it.

I have never before written to an author about his story in nifty, but i have found the way you have spoken about the sacredness of gay love to be so powerful and lovely. Indeed, before God committed love is the same as marriage.

With my thanks.

Graham

I have now read 1-7 chapters and am anxious to read 8-11. I had to write to you in "mid-story" to let you know that I am enjoying your story "The Gilded Cage" very much. The contrast between the artificial separation/isolation of the royalty from almost all ordinary human interaction and the desire of the young crown prince for exactly that which is missing is made so clear.

I like especially that this future leader of his people is the caring and fair-minded person he is. Also clever and dedicated to meeting his own goals, it would be so good for the world if ALL leaders - elected and hereditary (sp?) could be the same.

Thanks for sharing your ideas and talent! Best wishes!

Kevin

1 Hello Andrej,

Gilded Cage has the makings of a first rate story so I wonder whether you have received an offer for the film rights?

From my point of view as a reader, this story rates very highly indeed. There is excellent dialogue at the court, there is the mystery of the forgotten corridors and passages, the character of Reinhardt is delightfully revealed, and the pace is maintained all the time.

This story meets the needs of readers who don't always want the equivalent of an 'action movie'. And when I recall the month that Jacobus spent with Johann, I realise how much you have packed into this first-class tale.

Congratulations!

Warm regards,
John.

1 Hi Andrej;

The Gilded Cage! Yes - I found your newly translated masterpiece very quickly!

I Love this tale! You must get tired of me saying the same thing after each one? Hahahaha! I can't help it - they are All Masterpieces!

I Really liked the political intrigue in this one. Of course it also a treat when the "good guys" win. I love the romance as I do with all of your tales.

I also liked the close relationship between the siblings Jakobus, Friedrich & Stephanie. The honour, loyalty, respect and love between friends is Always inspiring & important to me, as a reader, that you include in so many of your stories. In "The Gilded Cage" these were Very important to the health and happiness of Jakobus & the union of Jakobus & Reinhardt.

I Absolutely loved it when King Friedrich II sent the Archbishop to Chile, the Queen Mother to a nunnery and he dismissed all the ministers that had not supported his brother.

Thank you for a Very enjoyable Saturday.

Gary
