Biography
The shock and awe of everyday life. The strange and familiar. All of this comes alive in my fiction. I am a southern writer that wants to follow in the footsteps of modern southern writers like Ron Rash and Daniel Woodrell.

It's like watching your neighbors fight. An unemployed man tries to adjust to being a house husband and watches as his breadwinner wife starts to make all the decisions. What happens when a man loses his masculinity? Droplets of blood bloomed on my thumb. A small spot of flesh had ripped off and the fresh white meat stung whenever I quit sucking on it.

Smashwords book reviews by DL Stone
- The Photo-album
on May 20, 2011
Interesting premise, but it starts off rather slow. The unicorn area should be extended some, and the details don't fit in well with the narrative which slows the story.
- Night of the Were-Squirrels
on May 21, 2011
Now I want to kill me a were-squirrel. This story was excellent from start to finish. The story was fluid and pulls the reader right in. Great Job!
- Shadows of my mind
on May 21, 2011
Well written, but a little slow and predictable.
- Skin: Short Fiction
on May 21, 2011
The order of the stories should have been reversed. The first story meanders around too much author interjection, the second story is funny without an ending, and the third story (the novel clip) is the most interesting piece. The stories could use some heavy editing, but they are entertaining.
- Sunset on Mars and Other Stories
on May 22, 2011
Great shorts. I wanted them to go on longer. The zombie story is my favorite. Reminded me of old Ray Bradbury.
- The Old Lady That Tends the Graveyard.
on May 23, 2011
An okay fairy tale.
- The PBS Painter's Tale
on May 23, 2011
A master's touch without the happy little trees.
- Smoke and the Unventilated b/w The Passage
on May 24, 2011
Very minimalist with reaching story lines, but the details are very vivid.
- Two in a Tent: Camping Humor
on June 04, 2011
Funny stuff. I preferred the first story more. These stories remind me of why I never go camping.
- Happy Birthday, Collier Figg
on June 04, 2011
This story is front loaded with exposition, and the details are flat. The scene where the movers are trying to charge the protagonist for everything is somewhat humorous, but not enough to help out the rest.
- The Space Between Things
on June 13, 2011
Very well written, and spooky. I hung on every word.
- The Alzheimer's Book Club
on June 18, 2011
Interesting read. A little slow, but amusing. It's like a Fahrenheit 451 in a retirement home.
- The Pot Poachers
on July 01, 2011
A great deep story. Masterfully crafted tale about loss and redemption. I can't wait to see more from this author.
- Golf Tips Digest Presents: Double-Bogey of Death!!!
on July 10, 2011
The dialouge was snappy and funny. A great short work.
- The Dark
on Aug. 13, 2011
Thrilling little short about death coming for us all. Great read.
- Party of the First Part
on Aug. 13, 2011
Very funny. I wished the story was a little longer, but it was very entertaining.
