My novels and novellas
I began writing Regency romance which led to time travel. That is just a hop away from fantasy and sci-fi. You'll see a selection in this video.

...and 14 more

• Black Hole Witch on Oct. 07, 2011
  
  Interesting concept for a short story. Written simply so easy to read. Would have liked to know a little more about the origin of the spaceship and its occupants. Thank you for a free read!
  
• A Bridge of Letters on Oct. 07, 2011
  
  Excellent short story! Wished it hadn't ended quite so abruptly as I know they're still out there 'travelling'. Now going to look at other things you've written...
  
• Death By Drowning on Oct. 08, 2011
  
  Another good read that was well told. I certainly have a preference for your short stories. Keep them coming!
  
• One of Those Days on Nov. 08, 2011
  
  Well, I had to laugh. I'm not too taken with 'erotica' because it easily slips into pornography. In my opinion, your story falls into the category of pornography. However, the fact that it was short and didn't dwell on the acts had me reading to the end. You had an excellent pay-off. I think you should keep going with the comedy even if the situations use 'erotica' (rather than porn). You might reach a larger public...
  
• The Megan Diaries ---- Happy Birthday on Nov. 08, 2011
  
  I didn't laugh at the end as I did with another you wrote but it was amusing all the way through. Damn, now I'm going to have to read all your others... You've got a way with a story!
  
• Looking for Mr. Right on Nov. 09, 2011
  
  For me, you've found the happy medium between sex and the story line. Good one or should I say 'Just right'!
  
• Thief on Nov. 13, 2011
  
  I particularly enjoyed the humour, which may be what you are selling in the long run? It had me laughing with the consultant's dialogue and his view of things. I highly recommend continuing with comedy writing as you have a knack for it. In this story it was more important than solving the crimes (which I found a little far-fetched)!
  
• Tonight on Nov. 13, 2011
  
  I can hardly believe that the same person wrote this as wrote your others as it is so different. You have done a great job with setting the mood and your character is frighteningly real! Excellent. The pay-off was a bit too mild for me. It seemed that you added it as an afterthought as it wasn't all that important which day she went out as she is irresistable anyway. Keep writing and I'll keep enjoying your stories!
  
• Alvin's Farm Book 1: Alvin's Farm on Dec. 02, 2011
  
  Excellent! A very touching story that makes one wonder if it is fiction as the author has written with such sensitivity that her characters could very well be real. The words used are a pleasure in themselves.
  
• Once Upon a Lightyear on Dec. 04, 2011
  
  A humorous bedtime tale for all ages! Really liked the imagery conjured up in only a few pages. Felt a little disappointed with the end. Fantastic book covers!
  
• Happy Landings on Dec. 06, 2011
  
  Have to give this the full 5! It had me laughing from the moment the 'Airport ->' sign came into view until the end! A great story, well told (just hope it wasn't from experience). Read it yourselves and it will put you in a good humour for the rest of the day...
  
• Crash Report on Dec. 22, 2011
  
  Liked this! Short and neat. It was treated with (I presume) the proper jargon making it all the more credible. Now going to look for anything else written by the author...
  
• A Lonely Ghost Girl on Jan. 01, 2012
  
  A pleasant style for a short story. Will look out for other works by you.
  
• Dancing Around the Fire on Jan. 06, 2012
  
  For such a short story this author has established the atmosphere in a few short lines. A full story told in few words with a surprising (or not) end. Any grammatical/spelling errors can be put down to the story's setting, whether that be the case or not.
  
• The Blind Philosopher and the God of Small Things on Jan. 08, 2012
  
  This author was recommended to me by a fellow-writer. I am not a great fan of poetry in general but R. L. Stephenson, Rupert Brooke, Sir Walter Scott, Henry Reed are a few who have kept me reading it through the years. Barnaby Wilde is now amongst those able to keep my attention until the end. In this collection, I was constantly reminded of Lewis Carroll. Not a bad thing at all. A ‘Beachcomber’s Tale’ pleased me in particular. I shall be reading other of Barnaby Wilde’s works (I am now curious to know how he arrived at his pseudonym?), not just his poetry, so it is safe to assume that I too recommend this author!
  
• The Huguenots Come To Ballyronan, Northern Ireland on Jan. 11, 2012
  
  An interesting, although brief, overview of the Huguenots in Northern Ireland that might encourage one to delve into their history more deeply.
  
• The Miracle: Extended Edition on Jan. 13, 2012
  
  I read the first part of this story and now the extended version. A good story told in diary form by the four main characters. You can't help getting involved with their lives, which are quite credible. Once again, a little sorry when I came to the end, although it finished on a high note. Shall look forward to other tales by this author.
  
• The Nosy Neighbor on Jan. 13, 2012
  
  Writers of erotica aren't generally known for their literary talent. Their aim is to get down to the hard stuff without the frills. This author has managed to combine a story with the erotica. It is well written with a beginning and a plausible end and with some humour thrown in. Don't be surprised if there is voyeurism. The story's category should be enough to warn because reading erotica means you're a voyeur!
  
• Musings while in traffic on Jan. 14, 2012
  
  Well, you have to laugh! Wonder how many Europeans know what a tacos looks like? You may be missing out on a market...
  
• Take Me Home on Feb. 08, 2012
  
  An enjoyable tale, which kept me reading until the end. Mr. James has the knack of capturing life in a small English town so well that you can almost smell the cold air. Hope he will gives us more of his light entertainment.
  
• Growing Up in the 60s Wasn’t All Fun and Games on Feb. 09, 2012
  
  The story told here by David Dilley cannot leave you indifferent. Depending on whether you are male or female, it will probably affect the way you view his young life but as a mother of three, it left me feeling sad. He has obviously thought about his past a good deal because he has written it well enough that it kept me reading until the end. For me, he captured the mood of the 60's in this short story.
  
• An Arrangement on Feb. 10, 2012
  
  Most erotica hardly bothers with a story-line. Ms. Hearst has managed for her story to lead somewhere via an erotic path. It was a good idea to have the bouquets as they added a nice touch of realism to the read. Better than a lot of erotica...
  
• Life ... (plus ten) on Feb. 10, 2012
  
  Brilliant! The sound of the words used and the twist in the tail (or is that tale?) add to the clever rhyming. Amusing and yet poignant he had certainly touched on Life with these poems. I shall read again which is how I know it is worth a 5 star rating and the few pennies it cost me!
  
• Dog Eared on Feb. 17, 2012
  
  Clever and very wittily done. It made me laugh out loud a couple of times. Hardly think it needs cencorship though. Good read.
  
• Breakfast In Paris on Feb. 23, 2012
  
  What can I say? It is a wonderfully well written tale creating a vague malaise for the principle character right up until the end, when he is finally shot of it. Well worth reading for the story and the pleasure of the words used.
  
• Loving the Fog on March 11, 2012
  
  A breath of fresh air is apt in describing this 'erotica' short story. Unlike so much erotica that seems to have no real substance at all, this one has managed to conjure up a tantalizing tale that will also please paranormal fans!
  
• Alysse on March 12, 2012
  
  Quite exceptional... The man has to have been there to write about it so poignantly. In fact, he is the man. Five stars without a moment's hesitation.
  
• The Boy Died In Vietnam on April 12, 2012
  
  Being of a similar age to the author and having been well aware of the war in Viet Nam, this story affected me perhaps more than someone younger. I read it in one day... A young man who had a promising future before entering the war, returns from Viet Nam a changed person. He will spend the next 42 years of his life as a misfit. These memoirs are well documented so that one is drawn into the hopelessness resulting from a war fought by so many young, impressionable people. Mr. Bick has struggled on when so many others have fallen for one reason or another. I am quite humbled by his will to survive when up against so much adversity and ignorance.
  
• I Await on April 12, 2012
  
  I wanted to read a romance written by a man. Mr Bick has provided me with one that is touching. It gives pause for thought for all those moments, words, declarations that we have put aside to do later. I am, nevertheless, of the opinion that actions speak louder than words. Read and you will see.
  
• Two Dozen Visions on June 06, 2012
  
  How many times have I said 'I do not like poetry'? and yet I continue to read it because, on a rare day, I will find verses that are more than rhymes or rhythms . They are verses that magically weave words with emotions and possibly soul-searched truths. 'Two Dozen Visions' is just such a work which has left me fragile from its impact. Poetry is personal but I feel that this collection has something to touch everyone...
  
• In The Next Life on June 26, 2012
  
  A touching tale told on two planes. Mr. Bick magically entwines the lives of modern workers on an archaeological dig with those whom they are gradually unearthing. A woman archaeologist and a pilot are both haunted by repetitive nightmares and when their paths meet, unexplained emotions are barely contained. A good read written convincingly.
  
• Yule at My Feet on Dec. 02, 2012
  
  A delightful tale for young or old. Elizabeth Rowan Keith has conjured magic with her words but then the story is magic too, filled with the little folk. I had the impression that the author was there! Can heartily recommend.
  
• Flowers for Mercedes on Dec. 06, 2012
  
  Excellent entertainment! Well, written and edited. Barnaby Wilde relates a tale as though he had lived it. No, I know he isn't D.I. Flowers and I'm pretty sure he isn't Mercedes... Perhaps the intimidating biker? In any case, he's got the story to perfection. I can absolutely recommend this tale with no hesitation!
  
• Hidden Behind Words on Jan. 26, 2013
  
  Light verse? Sometimes. Touching? Yes. The poems in this collection cannot leave you indifferent. Sometimes you have to smile while others leave you a little sorrowful. I think there are verses here for everyone and I can recommend.
  
• Tales from The Painted Door III: Molly's Walk on July 19, 2013
  
  Mr. Keith has known how to pick up with his 'Painted Door' series and weave another very human tale. He has the knack of scratching under the surface and revealing the essential of his characters. Another tale well told!
  
• Saving Triott Chicken on Aug. 07, 2013
  
  The telling of this tale is quite extraordinary. I am only sorry that I wasn't able to 'hear' the person relating it for it to be perfectly perfect! Where does fiction take over from reality? Does it matter although I am convinced that little chicken is very real - pictures to prove it. I can recommend this fable if you like to laugh. My only real question is - hen or cock?
  
• Three Minutes to Midnight on Aug. 29, 2013
  
  Of all the SW interviews I flipped by, yours caught my attention. As one thing will lead to another, a glimpse of your writing got me to sample 'Three Minutes to Midnight.' A compact story drawing one quickly into a fantasy world, it was cleverly woven and believably (is that really possible?) explained. I was a little sorry that it ended a lot quicker than it began. It was as though you had adrenalin coursing in your veins and it speeded up the ending. It did not diminish my pleasure in the story as it only came to me as an afterthought. I shall be looking at others of your works and can easily recommend you to others. ps I do feel you are selling yourself short with your low prices.
  
• The Teton Range Formation in the Rocky Mountains of North America on April 16, 2017
  
  Not having prior knowledge of this mountain range, this book was ideal for explaining the land and water formations found in the Rockies. I can recommend this for an easy educational read.
  
• Essential Oil Use in Canine Veterinary Medicine: From the Practices of Holistic Veterinarians on April 16, 2017
  
  As I am interested in alternative treatments for various ailments, this book caught my attention for an alternative, veterinary treatment for dogs. I share my life with five. I can recommend this work.
  
• Ostara's Delight on April 16, 2017
  
  For a taste of something different, a different way of viewing life, Elizabeth Rowan Keith was able to keep me reading until the end. A charming work.
  
• Being Friends With Margo on Sep. 25, 2017
  
  This young man has a sense of humour! He has taken a common occurence (that of one friend being in love with another who doesn't reciprocate) and given it a life. The final line is a winner! I shall be reading more by this author. Because of the grammar and some of the awkward phrasing, I can only give this short story four stars.
  
• A Man And His Ass on Sep. 23, 2018
  
  Touching tale... The author did a good job of setting the atmosphere of this short story. The tension created by water rationing and not knowing where to find the next water source was effective. The contrast with going to someone's aid and what happens, as a result, might well be the attitude of someone old enough he's not worried about consequences. On the whole, a good story. I was a little sorry to see some minor errors as they tended to slow down the reading. I will read some others stories by this author.
  
• The Outcast (Dork vs Geek ) on Dec. 18, 2018
  
  I so enjoy this author's sense of humour. I've been following his writings and they get better and better. Looking forward to his next piece!
  
• Missing You (Text Me) on Jan. 17, 2019
  
  This is another original story from André, who has become one of my favourite writers when I want to laugh and feel good. The hero's friends call him 'Pizza,' because of his slightly spotty face, but he is very self-confident. He doesn't let others sway him in his choices. The girl he decides to date is not quite what one would expect, but an excellent choice. Read this and enjoy!
  
• The Dangerous Deed on Feb. 01, 2019
  
  This is a change from André's usual style. It was interesting to see where it was going. Have I said it before? I'm a fan of André's writing.
  
• Out of Time on March 04, 2019
  
  In this latest novel by Barnaby Wilde, the author has managed to cover the intricacies of time travel while adding his usual hilarious predicaments and their bumbling solutions. Loved the story!
  
• Call It What You Want on April 14, 2019
  
  This a compelling story which kept me reading until the end. Frustrating to think that there's no chance of winning in the end. Well done, André!
  
• Abigail Was Here on May 01, 2019
  
  A short story which draws you in and then gives you something to think about. Well done!
  
• On The Basis Of Morality (Nice To Meet You) on July 28, 2019
  
  André has done it again. He's written a story which held my attention right up to the end. One might think it's a story about good versus bad, and it is in a way, but with a twist. Read it, and see for yourself...
  
• Who Are You? And Why Are You So Fat? on Oct. 01, 2019
  
  Another unusual take on life. Makes me wonder if I'm an asshole wondering if André is fat? ôô Always enjoyable reading André's stories.
  
• The Devil Made Me Do It on Feb. 11, 2020
  
  Well-written story which I feel was a little too simplified. I would have liked more emotion showed by all the characters. Always enjoy story ideas by Andre', though.
  
• The Girl With Crooked Fangs on March 17, 2020
  
  This story touches on an interesting question of whether one can change one's innate character or not. It was well written and kept my interest to the end. There was the doubt/hope that all would go well right up til the end. You need to read this to find out...
  
• Bart & Jesse - a love story on Sep. 01, 2020
  
  Well done on this joint effort. Both Jesse and Bart are real people. This story had me hooked right up to the end!
  
• Towards Yesterday on Oct. 11, 2020
  
  Excellent fiction! This story got my attention at the prologue and continued to keep it until the end. Read it whenever I had free time. If you believe in previous lives or not, this will give you something to think about. I can highly recommend it 5*****
  
• The Women Furies (Tales From The Poachers Inn) on Dec. 24, 2020
  
  A long-time fan of Barnaby Wilde, I am never disappointed with his stories or his quirky poems. This collection of stories is delightful and gave me an enjoyable escape from confinement. I can also recommend his story 'Out of Time.'
  
• Two Can Keep A Secret on March 02, 2021
  
  A short story with a twist. Andre' has managed to tell a well-written tale which makes you wonder how it will end. Bravo!
  
• Sometimes, I Think about.... on July 04, 2022
  
  I almost hate to say that this is good, because depression is never good. I'll change that to 'well-written with feeling.' Andre is an accomplished writer in many genres; some have had me laughing out loud. I was sorry to discover that he suffers from depression and I hope that he can overcome the worst of it. Keep writing, Andre!
  
• Becoming Birch: Timeless Tales in the Wheel of the Year on March 18, 2024
  
  A refreshing and endearing view of nature through the eyes of a woman who has become a tree. The descriptions transport us to a lieu that is magical, filled with life we rarely take the time to appreciate. Who is to say what is real and what isn't? I can easily recommend this book.
