• Hidden Behind Words on June 06, 2012
  
  This is some of the best poetry I have ever read. Whether it is through skillfully woven metaphor or the path of an arrow reaching its' mark, these works lead to the core of a genuine individual who has intelligently and thoughtfully examined what it is to be an honest human. Done with lilt and laughter, tears and troubles, this is a book worth reading.
  
• The Insignificance of Being a Spy... on Nov. 06, 2012
  
  An excellent read. This is a story full of twists and turns through a tightly-woven plot that unfolds in a series of captivating events. Everyone is hiding something, even if it is only to protect their own vulnerability. The characters are so deeply developed that they seem entirely real. This book held my attention from beginning to end. Highly recommended.
  
• The Builders' Report on Nov. 06, 2012
  
  These characters are easy to know and appreciate in a comfortable story that is pleasant to read. The tale and the people in it could easily be real. A story worth reading.
  
• The Boy Died In Vietnam on Nov. 07, 2012
  
  How well I remember this era, and the difficulties that came from it. This book is a must read for anyone touched by the Vietnam generation. It contains an honest account of the effects of that war on not only military personnel, but also on those of us who have been in relationships with them. Don Bick's descriptions of Post Traumatic Stress symptoms would be helpful to anyone who comes through intensely traumatic times. I applaud Don Bick's courage to heal. Than you, Don, for writing this book. I highly recommend it.
  
• Barnaby's Shorts (Volume One) on Dec. 07, 2012
  
  These are not the first stories I've read by Barnaby Wilde. They will not be the last. Each one has been a pleasure. Once I began this collection I did not want to stop. Highly enjoyable. Highly recommended.
  
• September Story on Dec. 10, 2012
  
  A story of the healing qualities of love. Told through marvelous use of dialogue, this tale is delivered at a pace that allows the reader to think, feel, and reflect. There is a great deal of comfort in this book.
  
• How to Dance Naked in the Moonlight on Dec. 23, 2012
  
  The wonder, wisdom, and wit in the tradition of the Celtic Bard is not lost. It is here in this thoughtful invitation to share in perspectives and practices with roots beyond the borders of time.
  
• Imbolc in Michigan on Jan. 31, 2013
  
  What a delightful first effort. I could not be more encouraging about continuing to write. Attention to small details in description order, formatting, and plot development would contribute to this story. But it is a cordial setting and creates a comfortable family group on which to build a more comprehensive work. It is a pleasant read. It is easy to see the talent behind this work. I hope the author continues.
  
• Sabbats of the Northern Hemisphere on Jan. 31, 2013
  
  This author employs simple language and charm in explaining Pagan holidays to children. Rhyme is a fun and effective memory tool. It works very well here.
  
• Voice Like a Cello & Bear Country on Jan. 31, 2013
  
  Excellent! I enjoyed these stories. They are both attractively and intelligently crafted, although it took a moment for me to find the groove of the first. I was not prepared for the first to end when it did, but I am grateful for the way it did. I simply could not stop reading the second until I had reached the end. Told with a touch of humor, humility, and eloquence, this is a story of uncommon power and ageless possibility. Highly recommended!
  
• For the One that I Love on Feb. 07, 2013
  
  Three lovely poems written by a man who dearly appreciates his wife. His love is clear. A beautiful read. Best wishes to them both.
  
• Worthy of the Billionaire's Attention on March 04, 2013
  
  This story is well-written, contains a bit of humor, and plays the role of a good fantasy. If the story has a fault, it is that it ends with less description than it begins. But that leaves room for the reader's imagination. I know I'm going to think of this story the next time I see a roll of duct tape.
