Today I am a bit sleepy. Could be all the work I have done on my novel in process, could be waking up at 4am and not going back to sleep really, you never know. So how about I just post up reviews, by title, in alphabetical order? These are ones I put up on amazon, so you can find these fun reads no trouble. In the letter A I have nine...so here you go!

Now this was fun. A bit raw, a bit raunchy but an interesting take on Tinkerbell and on the SEALS. Loved this little bit. Definitely a fun fast read. get it, read it, review it. A talent in the making!

After becoming a huge fan of Ms Harris' paranormal novels I really had to read everything I could find.
This novel is a simple gothic told in her style. It has little bit of southernisms that you expect from this multitalented author. The characters are crisp and intelligent and strong. The dark theme of rape and its effect on the women who suffer it is handled cleanly and well. Being set in the deep south like most of her novels this tale shows us the different ways that subcultures within our own deal with the victim.
I was actually both surprised and happy at how she dealt with the climax of this story. Well the subject matter is dark this novel left me feeling content.

I liked this set of tales. Short and to the point..the only one I had issues with was the final one...it seemed rushed...otherwise solid little tales

4.0 out of 5 stars Love in the times the Australian gold rush, November 3, 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Wicked Deception (Kindle Edition)
Readers of historical romances generally find stories set either in the wild west of the United States or in Britain. This lovely tale is set for a large part in Australia. With the detail Ms Tanner added the story comes alive with the sights, sounds and flavors of that wild land. She teaches you a bit of history while telling a tale of love, betrayal and classism.
While at times you want to take her heroine and shake her soundly for the pure silly innocence she has, you come to care for the characters. You feel sadness at the loses they survive and happiness at the neat ending to the tale. A good read for a lazy afternoon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Adventures in life, January 18, 2013
This review is from: Adventures of a Southern Girl (Kindle Edition)
These stories are a bite out of a full life, little things that make you smile and nod. In a few places they could be tightened up to flow better but they have a great charm to them. As you move through the stories they get better. Going from a bit awkward to a smooth and heart touching flow. They author needs to write more. She gives an insight into a way of life that in the 21st century isn't seen as much. The travel stories are funny but the family stories are strong and at time gripping. And the poem she included was very strong as were the studies of nature in all her glory. Looking forward to more.

4.0 out of 5 stars A trio of zombie fun, November 3, 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Aftermath and Other Zombie Shorts (Kindle Edition)
An interesting trio of stories. Well written especially considering English is not Mr Stark's first language. My favorite is the Zombie Cab story. Felt like reading an old twilight zone story. Well done. The only quibble I have with these tales is the author putting himself into the third story. If he had used a different name for the main character this book would have rated five stars from me. Well worth the money and the reading time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alice in wonderland japanese style, April 19, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Alice in the Country of Hearts, Vol. 2 (Paperback)
Okay right now there seems to be a big demand for everything Alice and this little manga is a good one. Obviously written in a harem style with beautiful male characters all trying to win the heart of the heroine. Some violence makes this a read not for the younger set. I would recommend teens and adults like me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Three interesting tales told, September 15, 2013
This review is from: Amor Maldito: Romantic Tragedies from Tejano Folklore (Kindle Edition)
When I read these three tales at first I was a little confused. These romantic ghost stories are from a culture that I don't know much about but as I read them I found myself transported. I could see the young people in these tales walking into their fates like I was watching a movie. Well told stories that just need a tweak here and there to help the flow but otherwise this is a grand set of stories. Perfect for a dark and chilly night.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good tale in need of tender loving care, July 19, 2012

This review is from: Ancient Futures (Kindle Edition)
I'm gonna review this honestly and what I have to say is it wont be all flowers and nice. It needs some serious work. Flashes of brilliance are surrounded by a lot of sections needing a heavy editing hand in this tale. Gilmar was beautifully written and in parts watching Ramiles grow was very moving but it needs work on pacing, spelling and well..over all feel. I can't give it more than a three, it really should get two and a half but I will give it three since it is a complete story, if one in need of work. I got through it...which is better than some other stuff I have been handed to read lately. Ir does have good characters and an interesting world. The whole end of days feel to this story is good but we need the pacing to match all the way through. With the revisions done I could see this getting better reviews all around.
Now I have posted some of these before but you can never put up reviews enough. Writers work very hard and they need all the pushes they can get. Hope you find something you want to read here.
