Smashwords book reviews by Joey Jones
- Nightmare Beach

(no rating)
good short michael. i was suprised to see you are from sw minnesota. i myself am from sw minnesota. small world.
- After Life
on Feb. 22, 2010
great story jaron. i love all things zombie and this was a good story. what makes it even better is that im born and raised minnesotan. this is the first story ive come across set in minnesota. its kinda neat to know the areas of your story. i also like the shout out to 89.3. i listen to the current every day at work.
- Dying to Live: Life Sentence
on April 21, 2010
I enjoyed this story very much. I usually dont like zombie stories that stray from the traditional zombies but this story is very well written. i liked the characters and the community. would love to read a story on what happened to will and his gang.
- Spinward Fringe Broadcast 6: Fragments
on Aug. 06, 2010
(no rating)
this is a good series. cant wait for the next one. and i loved the they might be giants song "birdhouse in your soul" reference. gave me a good chuckle and was completley unexpected.
- The Hunted of 2060, a Shifter Dystopian (Shifter Evolutions Book #5)
on Aug. 25, 2010
good story. but the militia must be pretty dumb if they plastered photos of april on TV but didnt check her boyfriends apartment for 2 1/2 days after that. im pretty sure they would have made that connection from people calling in from the university.
- The Zombie Chronicles 2: Discovery
on Sep. 09, 2010
this was your best story yet. i liked it a lot. im usually not a fan of thinking/smart zombies but i like the way you use them in your story. i guess the only part i didnt like was that red was missing for most of the ending but it sounds like you will be doing a short story on that so i will forgive that. keep up the good work.
- Ex-Heroes
on Oct. 04, 2010
other than the fact that the author calls magazines clips (pet peeve of mine and other gun owners) i liked the book.
- The Great Fall: Infection
on Oct. 26, 2010
i liked it. looking forward to what happens next.
- The Free, Online, Concise Guide to No Limit Holdem Poker
on Nov. 30, 2010
im just a begginer and dont know much about the game. this helped a lot with the terms, position, betting and a good general strategy for beginners. i also learned more about outs and odds. i never really considered this stuff when playing before. i always just guessed as to what i was doing and probably why i rarely win.
- Advanced Holdem for Home Games
on Dec. 03, 2010
this was very helpful. i feel much better about my game now. before i was the clueless fish. playing hands i thought were good out of position and making stupid calls and bluffs. i know im not a pro our anything now but i feel like i have a much better understanding of the game. so far ive only played online. next week might start playing in a monday night cash game were ive heard there are several "loose aggressive" players. thanks
- Shatter (The Children of Man, #1)
on Dec. 29, 2010
Thought it was a good read especially for being free. I will definatley read the next book.
- LZR-1143: Infection (A Zombie Novel)
on Jan. 10, 2011
I've read alot of zombie fiction and thought this was a decent read. I'm guessing from the ending there will be a sequel and I would probably check it out.
- Astra: Synchronicity
on Jan. 20, 2011
Sorry for my previous review and giving away any of the story line. I am an idiot. Anyways, I enjoyed the story and the entire idea behind this sci-fi world. I was dissapointed in the ending but will definatley read the next book.
- A Land of Ash
on Jan. 31, 2011
I'm a pretty big fan of anything post-apocalyptic. Usually zombies. But this scenario is equally as frightening. I liked the collection. Well done.
- No Flesh Shall Be Spared
on Feb. 04, 2011
I've only just started this book but had to say I'm really enjoying it so far. I read lots of Zompac and right now my favortie show on TV is Spartacus on Starz. So I figured that alone would make this book worth the purchase. On top of that I enjoy the writing style as well. I'll check back in when I finish up.
- False Colored Eyes: A Short Story
on Feb. 25, 2011
Cool short story. Left me wanting to know more about what happens next.

on July 01, 2011

on July 15, 2011

on July 15, 2011
Aaaah. I'm not traveling to that sector anytime soon.
- Harmonics: Rise of the Magician
on Aug. 03, 2011
It was an ok read. I'd check out a follow up book to find out whats going on here. Lots of un-answered questions.
- Backcountry Trail Pics
on Aug. 05, 2011
Amazing pictures. I was in Yellowstone when I was younger but forgot how beautiful it is. I didn't grow up to be much of an outdoorsman. Not much for scenery here on the plains in Minnesota. When I'm older and not stuck in the office I might have to travel more. Thanks for sharing.
- The Accidental Immortal
on Aug. 09, 2011
Enjoyable short read. Liked this character alot.
- Tendon from Bone - Part Two
on Aug. 16, 2011
I'm fairly lost about whats going on in these first two parts of the story. But I still dig it. Looking forward to reading next part of the story and trying to piece together what is going on.
- The Dragon of Skar
on Aug. 18, 2011
Good story. I think this would make for a pretty good sequel movie.
- Sundered Lineage
on Aug. 23, 2011
Very cool short. I hope there is a follow up to this. I've read several of your shorts and this was one of my favorites.
- The Bones of St. Isis
on Aug. 23, 2011

on Sep. 02, 2011
Great story Mark. You combined 2 of my favorite genres into an excellent short.
- Lux 1.2 Call to Arms
on Sep. 09, 2011
The 2nd part of this story was as good as the first. Some pretty good cliffhangers here and looking forward to the next installment.
- The Birth of the Peacekeepers.
on Sep. 14, 2011
I have to agree with the review about the cheesiness being over the top. I just kept picturing Steven Segal breaking peoples bones like it was no big deal. And some of the coversations were just as bad. Couldn't make it past the first couple chapters.
- The Zombie Chronicles 3: Ascension
on Sep. 30, 2011
Another good chapter to the story. It kept me intrigued the entire time. I will tune in for the next chapter.
- Circus of the Dead
on Oct. 18, 2011
Very good short story. It reminded when the fair would come to town every summer and how excited I would get except there were'nt zombies then.
- Don Coyote de la Merika
on Nov. 14, 2011
Excellent start to this story. I will be purchasing the rest.
- Zombies! Episode 1: Shawn of the Dead
on Nov. 17, 2011
Excellent start. I will be checking out volume 2.

on Nov. 28, 2011

on Dec. 13, 2011
Fantastic story and great twist at the end.
- Gold Guns Girls (Cities of the Dead)
on Dec. 14, 2011
This is one of the better zombie shorts I've ever read. I felt like I knew the main character and could easily picture the surrounding environment. Will be reading the rest of your stories.
- Waiting for the Great Leap Forward (Cities of the Dead)
on Dec. 14, 2011
Another excellent addition.
- The Last Man In The War
on Dec. 16, 2011
Excellent. Thanks for sharing.

on Dec. 16, 2011
Cool read.

on Dec. 21, 2011
Love your writing. Keep it up. You have some of the best zombie shorts I've ever read and I've read alot of them.
- All Hell Breaks Loose (Cities of the Dead)
on Dec. 21, 2011
Once again well done.

on Dec. 23, 2011

- ZOMBIES!... The Begining of the END Book 3
on Dec. 23, 2011
This series is great. I'm hooked now and wish I had more to read. Keep up the excellent work.
- Vanessa Alone
on Dec. 23, 2011
I read this short awhile back and forgot to review. And I didn't realize it was part of a larger story which I have now purchased. If you enjoy post zombie apocalypse stories I would recommend this one.
- Equinox
on Dec. 27, 2011
I thought it was well written and enjoyed it.
- Fear Of The Dead
on Dec. 30, 2011
I loved it. Hoping there is a sequel.
- The King of Elfland
on Jan. 04, 2012
Interesting and a good read.
- Dust
on Jan. 04, 2012
I normally like my apocalyptic fiction with zombies but this was excellent as well. Great short read.
- The Chronicles of Z’va’Xin (issues 1-6)
on Jan. 13, 2012
This held my interest throughout. Very interesting and entertaining.
- The War on Horror (Cities of the Dead)
on Jan. 20, 2012
Once again an excellent addition to the story. But I don't think you would need a 9 iron to hit a 100 yard shot. Unless the wind was in your face and you were playing a little knockdown shot. I'd say its probably a 56 degree wedge for that shot.
- King of Lions
on Jan. 23, 2012
