• The Austen Avenger on Dec. 20, 2012

  The Austin Avenger is a fun little story ~ I like how it was written from the perspective of a male. It is hard to imagine a man knowing who Jane Austin is, never mind reading her books and I think this is an awesome storyline! I love how he turned her a superhero! It was a quick read but definitely worth it. Marianne Curtis Author of Finding Gloria, Moondust and Madness: a collection of Poetry, Behind Whispering Pines and Brian's Last Ride
  
• Autumn Leaves on Dec. 20, 2012
  
  Autumn Leaves is a collection of ten poets composed by Peter Allchin. It is nice to see another poet who writes like I do. Very enjoyable – I can’t wait to check out his other pieces.

  This IS a very short, short story – I love it!!! It was awesome how the writer kept you guessing – I admit, my mind was all over the place, wondering who’s perspective was coming out in the tale. I laughed out loud when it was revealed who the author was. Great little story!

• The Jungle Mess on Dec. 22, 2012
  
  I downloaded this ebook and enjoyed reading it to my granddaughter. I think it is an adorable story because as a mother, I too have said the same thing to my brood “clean your room, there is a jungle in there.” Adorable story that entices the imagination – the only thing that was missing were the pictures, but that is okay ~ we went and drew out own. Thanks for this great story! Marianne Curtis Author Finding Gloria, Moondust and Madness: A collection of Poetry, Behind Whispering Pines and Brian's Last Ride

  Once again, another delightful piece by Robert Mason. My grand-daughter and I are becoming huge fans of this thought provoking write who not only tells a good story but also delivers a message that children understand.

  Stepping into the world of science fiction or fantasy is a huge leap of faith for me; but I am glad that I didn’t look ahead, and in this case, I jumped. I downloaded this book without any illusions or preludes. I didn’t even read the description – and I was NOT disappointed. I love the concept – the ability to clone one-self and how it could be a great benefit or not. I think the author did a great job creating intrigue. It makes the reader want to know what could happen if this was possible and how far the main character would go with this ability. Awesome story!

• The Bridge: A short story on Dec. 26, 2012
  
  I don't normally read war stories and I am glad that I made this one my first in over two decades. I found the author's tale very engaging and it made me want to know the rest of the story. Our generation and the ones after us seem to have forgotten the importance of these wars and the sacrifices made by the men and women who gave their lives for our freedoms. Stories like this are important to share, especially when coming from the mouths of those who were actually there; fiction or otherwise, when they come from someone who has been there, you know there is some truth to it. I especially like that even though the author is incapacitated; his family is still sharing his stories with the world. Thank you William Thomas, for your service and sharing your stories.

• The Wizard Takes a Holiday on Dec. 26, 2012
  
  What a fun story – the `snot nosed toddler` was an adorable twist. How I wished when I was small that I had similar talents. If one opens their mind, it makes you wonder if there are really wizards walking around us along with children with special talents – we just don’t notice them. I love stories that travel into the supernatural world in this manner. Good job! I also really enjoyed the other stories this ebook has to offer – it contains some really good pieces by several other writers (I want to read Undead Dixie Debs now) Reading this ebook was a pleasant way to spend the afternoon. Thank you! Marianne Curtis Author Finding Gloria, Moondust and Madness: A collection of Poetry, Behind Whispering Pines, Finding Gloria ~ Special Edition and Brian’s Last Ride

• The Second Fly Caster: Fatherhood, Recovery and an Unforgettable Tournament on Jan. 27, 2013
  
  I enjoy reading short stories because they usually tell a great story, have a lesson involved and move on. This story is no exception. A boy idolizes his father and feels threatened when a better fly caster comes along. While he loves watching his father cast his rod, he doesn’t see the real value of the patience and practice until he meets another, more skilled caster than his dad. But instead of dethroning the father as a hero in his son`s eyes, the new fisherman gives the son a better perspective on why casting meant so much for his father. After practising, he honoured his father by breaking the record he was never able to. My father was a fly-caster. While I was too young to appreciate or even remember his skills, I remember my father`s face when he would talk about fishing and pour over magazines to learn how to make his own flies. I enjoyed this story because it mentally put me in a place where I could appreciate my father`s love of his hobby and mourn the fact that he never went fishing again during the last 20 years of his life – it made me very sad for him.
