Smashwords book reviews by Louise Ann Barton

  • Witch's Skin on Jan. 04, 2015

    Very interesting plot, but this story begged to be longer.
  • Shelter From the Storm - A Ghost Story for Christmas on Jan. 28, 2015

    Well written, a fresh take on a classic plot. Loved some of the descriptions, such as the two old women smelling like a funeral parlor. More attention should have been given to composing the ending as it just dropped off.
