The whiplash of lightening preceded the boom of the rolling thunder, as I raced down the dark hallway into the spare room, looking frantically for a place to hide.

That Damn Moon
on Jan. 16, 2017
Reading this story made me think how our mundane and ordinary lives could easily come to an end, one day out there on the road, and we'd never know. Only in this story, the dead man gets to find out that he is dead. Spooky.

Ruck Nor

There is something very gothic about Australia, with it's convict past and abandoned industrial buildings; and so, I felt that this story tapped into that particular sensibility of ghosts, shadows, violence and supernatural creatures.

Just a Moment

An intriguing concept! These micro stories made me feel like I was allowed to look, very briefly, through the keyhole at other lives.

Bullies and Brigands and Wolves, Oh My!
on Jan. 24, 2017
Well written and engaging. I particularly appreciated the first story. And given the level of bullying between girls of that age, it would be a good thing if many young girls were to read this story. It may make them think.

On the Train
on Jan. 25, 2017
It was really enjoyable to be looking through the eyes of this observer traveling on the London train. The small glimpses into the private lives of some of the passengers, arouses curiosity, and hints at the rich, deep and complex stories that generally lay hidden from view.

Prom Friday

I loved this story! I enjoyed the cheeky humour and I could relate to the personal feelings of inadequacy and the competitiveness that is high school. The ending was pleasing but not corny.

Sentence of Marriage (Promises to Keep: Book 1)
on Feb. 02, 2017
I've never read any historical fiction from New Zealand before, but I will say that there should be more of it! A well written and engaging story.

World Shards: Redo I
on March 29, 2017
This piece of flash fiction had a great premise and a character that was starting to grow on me, with his questioning voice and slightly paranoid behavioural style. I also liked how the story immediately pushed my mind into a future, where individuals could reset their day; but unknowns still existed and so, research was ongoing. I will be reading more.

My Stupid Racism
on March 29, 2017
This piece of writing was very heartfelt and authentic. However, I don’t agree that the role that you played as an Asian was racist. Perhaps it was patronising and a stereotype but you said yourself that the audience loved this character and in days gone by, this would have gone a long way toward diminishing racism and the fear of those who are different. This character would have been a quite a departure from the all-white cast of former times and while it may not be considered politically correct now, back then, this character would have been novel and a step toward reducing racism Hopefully today, we create characters who are complex and nuanced despite their ethnicity.

My Father's Gift by Leanne Fitzpatrick is well written, atmospheric and a very enjoyable read. Recommended.

The Boutique
on March 30, 2017
This is a well written and engaging ghost story which jettisons the usual romantic plot style. I like the fragments of humour as well; especially, the police man who screams at the sight of blood.

SNAFU: Everyone Has Their Demons
on April 19, 2017
A well crafted story which takes the reader right into the heart of the action and carries them along. There is also an interesting twist in what initially seems to be a realistic tale
