Smashwords book reviews by James Wilcox

  • Losing Myself (Short Story) on Sep. 27, 2011

    I don't read many short stories because I like characters and stories that I can sink my teeth into. I picked up this story because I try to support local authors and Tim Morrell is a local author for me. Interesting idea, but I wanted more. More character development, a more fully developed story, etc. Not bad for a short story, but this could easily be developed into a full length novel and I think I would have appreciated it more.
