• What I did next does me no credit at all on Feb. 12, 2011
  
  An amusing tale of deception in the age of internet assignations. The indeterminate gender of the narrator adds both a little spice and a subtle lesson; reminding us that it’s the character of the person we fall for that’s important, not whether they’re male or female.
  
• Market Forces on Feb. 12, 2011
  
  Market Forces is one of the best self discovery stories I’ve read. With sharp, dispassionate description the writer effortlessly creates the characters and ambivalent atmosphere of a county market in winter. We experience the reluctance of a teenager to man the stall with his domineering mother, the fear and discomfort gays usually feel when with their apparently self-possessed peers. The scene is set for a miserable afternoon, but then… a ray of light. What follows is unsentimental, yet it brought tears of self recognition and delight. Yes, this is exactly what it was like. This is what I felt and how I managed to cope. Truly, a wonderful tale by a master of his craft.
  
• The Watch on Feb. 20, 2011
  
  “The Watch” is an absorbing short tale in which the author leads the reader calmly yet irresistibly with spare yet perfectly modulated descriptive prose back in time to pre-war England, perfectly capturing the atmosphere of the great railways, while reminding us of how much more precarious life was then. We feel empathy and affection for the elderly politician, and pity for the hopeless social situation of the young steward. A haunting piece that left me wondering if my life had been too narrowly focussed, reminding me not to miss opportunities.
  
• Rum: Brothers - Book One on Feb. 27, 2011
  
  Rum Brothers. A well written book, lots of fine adventure, although I found myself skipping over some of the ‘domestic’, family stuff. Each title in a series should be able to be read as a complete and separate book, and subsequent books will contain more adventures building on the foundations of book one. This is not that case here. Just when everything seems to be ready for the brothers to revenge themselves, the story stops. All that build up, a best friend is in danger, forces are being arraigned against them, and that’s it. The end. This turns out to be a serial; buy the next instalment if you want to know what happens next. Mmmm… perhaps.
  
• Spam & Eggs: A Johnny Denovo Mystery on March 08, 2011
  
  A fun plot with lots of convoluted intricacies. Johnny Denovo is a self-absorbed and wondrously vain character. I hope he never get's embroiled with his partner -- she is the most dangerous person in his life. A lot of fun, thanks.
  
• Murder In Boystown on Sep. 23, 2011
  
  The idea seemed fine, but I couldn’t really understand what was happening, so gave up after a dozen pages.
  
• The White Rajah on March 22, 2012
  
  Absolutely brilliant. A fast paced, perfectly edited, superbly written novel that kept me enthralled from the first word. The descriptions are first rate, the adventures thrilling, the atmosphere well drawn. Unlike Michael Joseph, I don't think it necessary to include anything more graphic in the sex scenes. Presumably, Brooke married eventually, as there were descendants who also became Rajahs. Thanks for writing it.
  
• Just WAKE UP! on March 26, 2012
  
  Excellent pencil drawings, and a sad tale... so many Mexican dreams must be nightmares.
  
• The Naga's Treasure on April 05, 2012
  
  What a wondrous romp! Arousing, erotic, sumptuously encased in the ancient court of Ankor Wat. Well written and edited, a fun read and unashamedly sexy. Truly a 'Divine' comedy.
