• Ozzie the Clown on Oct. 16, 2016
  
  “Ozzie the Clown” by William Walton creates a remarkable allegory of hiding behind a mask. It’s a wonderful short story. Some of it reveals terror with castoff understatement, as in the relationship of Ozzie and Burpo, his clown master. All of it works, carrying a reader from sentence, to paragraph, to a page, not wanting to stop. Very little seems wasted. Mr. Walton can write, capture your brain cells, and then spit them out after adding some extra intellegence to them. It’s a fine experience, something akin to magic.
  
• Mike, from the Mail Room on Oct. 16, 2016
  
  “Mike, From the Mailroom,” unfolds from the depths of misguided imagination, to schizophrenia, to a suprise ending that probobly needs a little more closure. That does not in any way reduce the raw horsepower of Mr. Walton’s writing. He can make you squirm a little, and that’s what good writers do with short stories like this. It’s an admirable addition to Mr. Walton’s work.
  
• Far from the Truth on July 05, 2020
  
  “Far From The Truth,” Ron Feldman’s latest thriller in his Truth Series, is a terrific book. It kept me up beyond my usual bedtime for three nights, and I awoke each morning, grabbing the book rather than the TV remote. The twists and turns become addictive. The search for redemption never ends until the final page. The characters will stay with you long after you set the book aside. Thanks for writing such an excellent book, Ronald Feldman, and for giving readers a real, five-star treatment.
