A.L. Billington liked Zayne R.R.'s review of Beast Be Gone (Beast Be Gone, #1): "I met Arthur at a convention and we did a book swap. There were no promises of needing to complete our books or leaving positive reviews or such. Not that we needed to, as he is a great guy, friendly and fun.

A.L. Billington liked L.E. Bendon's review of Beast Be Gone, Undead Don't Die (Beast Be Gone, #2): "A worthy follow-up. It offers more of the same, and although it doesn't provide anything new, it is still extremely satisfying. I am looking forward to the next one."
