Smashwords book reviews by Georgiann Baldino
- Slow and Quiet, Drift Away
on Oct. 31, 2010
Barry gives readers a unique chance to become the main character in the story. Not many writers can put "you" in the story. Even fewer with the success that Barry does.
- Spirit of the Once Walking
on Nov. 07, 2011
Babs creates an immediate sense of place. Her characters come alive. Great read.
