Smashwords book reviews by Brian Hartman
- WATER and other stories
on Jan. 03, 2011
I'm not a Christian, but I really enjoyed these stories, particularly "Water". Daron Fraley knows how to draw the reader in and make him/her care about the characters. Well done, sir!
- Hard Creek Bridge: a short story
on Jan. 06, 2011
I really enjoyed this story. It's deceptively simple, but really keeps your attention to the very end.

- Comfort Women & My Kale Sister Plants
on June 19, 2011
YoonOk Kim tells a very compelling and all-too true story. The tragic tale had my interest to the very end. I highly recommend this book.
