    I really liked the cover art for this anthology. "The achine is broken time m" had me cracking up. He is specializing in flash fiction so you know these items are a quick read, short and sweet. Enjoy!

    I LOVED this story! I want to say something more witty and insightful, but that's all I can come up with... The cast of characters is confusing at first, so you have to get into the story a little bit before things start falling into place, but once they do - wow! There were so many things I connected with in this story: there's a great romance that actually moved me; I'm a reformed mmorpgr so a story with black mages, white mages, and paladins was a treat; the background, action and characters were wonderful. There were minor editing boo boos, but the story trumped that easily and you can only expect more and better things to come from this author. pssst - there's a sequel. Can't wait!

    An established author turns down half a million dollars from a major publishing house to go Indie... And with this eBook we have front row seats! Most interesting read I've seen in a while.

    A paranormal mystery is right up my alley. Veronica is realizing after many 'coincidences' that she just might be a little bit psychic. If you had the power to see into the future would it be a blessing or a curse? It's a curse if the police find you at the murder scene, covered in blood and clutching a dead body. It's a blessing if you help your best friend find her daughter. Veronica has got a lot on her plate and she needs to come to terms with her abilities if she's going to survive The River and the Roses (Veronica Barry)

    Love everything about this book. I love the concept, the writing, the subject matter, the anti-genre, the author's a super-nice guy too! If you liked The Blair Witch Project or House of Leaves, then you'll love this book. He has a great buy-in - my friend gave me this manuscript to self-publish so expect some errors (there are only a handful) but it makes the premise of the 'real' story of Emory Walden come to life. You just have to swallow the 'red pill' and read this story.

    Novella for fans of The Little Prince and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It is like an adult version of The Little Prince which is what immediately came to mind when I started reading it. Humorous and light-hearted (Stop world, I want to get off!), but with profound little tidbits sprinkled throughout that leave you giggling even as you're going A-ha!

    Really short, bittersweet love story. An author to watch for in the future.

    This is a continuation of the story started in Above the Dungeon. What can I say but this is another great 'hot with a plot' read! I was so surprised the author went the route she did, but it opened up a whole new range to the characters. Not to mention the subplots that lead to one heck of an ending. Where she goes next with the story will leave you wanting more.

    Short story with a great twist ending! Love stories that do that. I can't tell you anymore because it would give away the ending. Pick it up and give it a try. Best 15 minutes you'll spend.
  • The Flame: Book 1 (Tales of the Shehkrii) on Dec. 28, 2011

    I like this book. It is confusing and jumps around with different story and plot lines in the beginning, but that didn’t keep me from reading so it makes it good to me. It has a cyberpunk/technopunk storyline feel to it which I like that kind of thing. It’s from an Australian author but I’ve been loving the stuff coming out from ‘down under’ so far. Author says they’re working on Book 2 now so looking forward to the series! Tons of stuff happening.

    Great story! It was so interesting I read it in one day. I couldn’t stop reading. It reminded me of Avatar only it took place in India. I recommend the story from ages 10 and up. Even grown ups would like this story. It is fantasy/adventure with a lot of action. I can’t wait for the sequel. Review written by 11 year old girl.

    If this is urban fantasy, I’ll take more! I don’t quite know how to describe Matty. She seems like a mentally worn grunge rocker which fits her powers and those around her. I like the language, how the story is told, the different characters. This is an author to watch and I’ll be excited to see what he comes up with next.
