Midwest Book Reviews gives Brubury Tales 5-star review
I was excited to see a great 5-star review from Midwest Book Reviews for The Brubury Tales.
...Through history, things again and again repeat, and the tale of a millennia ago rings much of the tale today. "The Brubury Tales" is a collection of short stories of the format of seven security guards exchanging stories to passing the time after the Los Angeles riots. With inspiration from many literary classics and plenty of original spin, "The Brubury Tales" is a fine collection and not one to be missed.

New 5 star review
My new book, Gary, the Four-Eyed Fairy got a great 5 star review on Amazon. Check it out... 12 stories only 99 cents.
5 Stars -- If Philip Marlowe had been a security guard...or an anguished teenager
A smart rendering of the modern human condition. I laughed out loud through much of it - notwithstanding the descriptive parts (especially the lizard doing push-ups and boric acid-snorting roaches.) Perfect! A great read.

Brilliant glimpses of a life...
Another good review for Gary, the Four-Eyed Fairy and Other Stories 99 cents
5 stars: Brilliant glimpses of a life
Mundo offers brilliant glimpses of moments in life of J.T. Glass, a security guard. Some are life defining, some fraught with moral dilemma, some just simple but powerful tableaus likely to stay etched in memory as if lighted by lightning. As each of these moments is different in significance and consequences, so the stories differ in mood and voice, but every one of them is carefully crafted, expressive but unembellished, a perfect reflection of those episodes.
Highly recommended!

2014 Readers' Choice Award nominee at BigAl's Books and Pals
I'm pleased to announce that my novella, Different, is up for the 2014 Readers' Choice Award for Fantasy books at BigAl's Books and Pals.
Published on December 9th, 2013, Different tells the story of 12-year-old Gregory Gourde, a bright yet awkward kid who experiences certain physical changes one morning that even puberty can't explain: his head has become a watermelon.
What follows is an audacious exploration of what it really means to be different in this dark yet humorous nod to Kafka's "Metamorphosis" and Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland". Different also includes a dozen original woodcut-inspired black-and-white illustrations by Keith Draws.
Different was reviewed by BigAl's Books and Pals on December 31, 2013, which you can read here --> http://booksandpals.blogspot.com/2013...
