Kevin Hess liked Rebekah's review of The Dragon of Dire Verses (The Trials of Bardly Whitsend #1): "This book was a mess and I enjoyed every moment. My favorite things in the book were the dnd gamers and Mr. Whiskers. Mr. Whiskers was a true hero. They were so real. I'm very glad I happened onto this on Amazon. You should happen onto it too."

Quotes by Kevin Hess (?)

“How do I know I'm the main character? I could be a diversionary subplot, or a way to keep the Plot Armor out of the hands of the main character long enough for the real main character to use it, couldn't I?”
