- Smart Self-Publishing: Becoming an Indie Author
on Jan. 02, 2011
Zoe has written one fantastic book in easy to understand terms. I read this in one day and am glad I did. Much of the muddle in my mind has been cleared away. The very latest information is here for all the different modes of getting your book out there. She has answers for people with very limited funds and for those with more to spend, as well. Her recommendations on which steps to take first and which method to use first make absolute sense. This is a must read not only for Indie writers but for mainstream folk as well. Her marketing savvy alone is worth the price. Thank you for writing this, Zoe!
- Song of the Vampire
on Feb. 04, 2011
Carole is being kind enough to favor us with three fantastic vampire short stories while we anxiously await her next novel masterpiece.This lady has much talent and spins three completely different vampire tales in this trio. If you have not had the pleasure to read her wonderfully spun tales, here is your chance. Buy this NOW!
- Apex Magazine - February 2011 (Issue 21)
on Feb. 27, 2011
Apex has put out another fine issue. Sometimes the short stories are a bit quirky and unbelievable, but that's a good thing. Who wants to read nothing but watered-down pulp prepared for the masses? Apex is a thinking person's magazine.When I read their stories, I say, "What the . . . .!" I have yet to be disappointed. They once had their works on here for a choose your own price sort of thing. I'm glad they no longer do that. The magazine is well worth the price they are asking. Buy, read, enjoy.
- Safe With Me, The Beginning
on March 03, 2011
For a woman to write about making love from the perspective of a man is quite a task, but it is one you handled extremely well. Your scenes were real; they came alive; they brought expectations that were realized fully. You did a wonderful job. I loved this story. I will spread the word!

Absurdity is what makes this story what it is: how the hell is it going to end? Isn't that what a story is supposed to do? This one does exactly that. Excellent writing! I will read more of your twisted stories, John.
- Them
on March 14, 2011
This is great! So many questions left unsolved. But why must everything be solved? We'll know, at any rate, when we see THEM!
- The Late Hero
on March 18, 2011
Great story, Mikel! I didn't see the ending coming until I was almost through reading it. Usually, I'm pretty sharp with that kind of thing. You got me! I'm glad. I'll spread the word about your talents as a story teller.
- Monkey Love
on March 23, 2011
This is one great story!I never for the slightest second saw the ending coming. John led me along the entire time. I hate to say too much more because I don't want to give any of the story away. Read this! It's great!
- Birthright
on April 24, 2011
I have known Sue as an artist, and a poet. She is very good with both of these artistic endeavors. And now . . . now she comes before us bearing her gift of story-telling. And a sweet gift it is. Her weaving of this tale within the complexities of the people she has created makes for a delightful read. And I will have to read where she chooses to take me on her journey. "Birthright" is a grand read. You will enjoy the story immensely.
- The Thing in the Closet
on Sep. 05, 2011
Carole Gill has outdone herself with this story! "The Thing In The Closet" is a great read! I hate to give too much away, but this great tale addresses one of the biggest mysteries in my life. Often, I have pondered this evil-the worst kind of evil. Want to find out what I'm talking about? Read this great story! This is unlike Carole's other stories of Vampires and other demons of the night. This horror surpasses that!
- Soulless Light
on Oct. 04, 2011
Ah, such a grand story of brutal revenge, and yet a necessary cleansing of evil from those who took it upon themselves to be bloody executioners in the name of God, a God they did not truly worship, and whose goodness they failed to embrace. Evil is evil: saying that God is with you does not make it any less so. This is a well crafted tale, delving into the souls and minds of the good and the bad. Joann was quite a wordsmith, planting a very dynamic visual in my mind. I am very much looking forward to Joann's next story!
- The Freebie
on Dec. 18, 2011
Such a great story! K. Rowe has such a wide array of genres that she spins tales in. She is a master at erotica; she certainly is able to express the sexual experience from the viewpoint of a man. Not an easy task when you're a woman. She pulls it off with flourish! I have read other stories by this talented author and suggest to anyone appreciating this genre that they read them also. And then, read her tales in other genres as well to get a taste of her diverse talents. K. Rowe will be around for along time so you better start reading her stories now!
- Space Crazy
on Jan. 01, 2012
K. Rowe is my FAVORITE writer of sci-fi! Wham! The lady knows how to spin an in and out of this world tale that is funny, sexy, intriguing, and filled with suspense and battle scenes. Dar Melton, the hero in this tale, is a young man who has been picked on because of the fact he is different: half earthling and half Satiren. Even in the outer reaches of the universe, bullies exist, and they pick on people just because they're not the same as them. But Dar's mother hopes to change all of that and give her son a chance in an unfair world. At the young age of 17, he joins up with the crew of a space freighter and becomes a man; and a proud warrior. That's all I can say without ruining the story for you, but if you love a great action-packed sci-fi tale, grab this story and the ones to come in the series. Oh, yeah! It doesn't get ant better than this!
- The Blackheart Poetess: A Poetry Collection of Love, Loss and Lies
on April 14, 2012
April Denton has done a great job with this collection of poems. While most of them are obviously slanted towards the dark side, there are some more reflective pieces to satisfy the purist. April writes from the soul, which is the way any writer, poet or a spinner of prose should do. Her words do not wring hollow: they are filled with sincerity and depth. My favorite poems in this wonderful collection are Dark Angel, Invisible I Am, and The Wolf. The collection is broken into sections, so I should add I enjoyed all her offerings in The Sex And Sexuality Section. April Denton is a poet to watch and a joy to read!
- One Buck Horror: Volume Four
on April 17, 2012
I was thinking that I might be disappointed in this rather short anthology. I figured, "What the heck!" Give it a try. Well, I'm glad I did! Yes the stories are short, but they are fresh and crisp. I love them! My favorite story is "Walter's Friends," but the different styles of each author, as eclectic as they are, pulled me in to each of them. I need to read more of these delightful "spookies." One Buck Horror: Volume Four is great!
- The Courier Episode One: Call for Obstruction
on April 19, 2012
I absolutely love this great tale! The Courier Episode One: Call For Obstruction is so unlike anything else I have ever read, and I totally did not expect the ending. There is no let up in the action at all: scene upon scene roll along in perfect harmony, making you want to read more. The best thing is that this is a series, so there's more to come of this horror and insanity. As bizarre as the story is, it is also believable, so you won't get the what the . . .thinking. I know the economy is bad, but don't go to work for this courier service!
- Turning of the Tides
on May 21, 2012
Turning Of The Tides by Jo-Anne Russell is a charming story that completely changed from beginning to end: very pleasantly so. As with all short stories, there is a decided punch at the end that hits you in your gut! I love that feeling! I am certainly a fan of Jo-Anne Russell now!
