Reviews

[H.A. Titus · Rating 5 out of 5]

As always, an excellent group of short stories by the authors of Splashdown Books. Personal favorites were: Steel Gray by Mary Ruth Pursselley ; The Guitar by Kat Heckenbach; Dead In the Water by Pauline Creeden; Negotiator by Cindy Koepp; and A Baby by Diane M Graham. Fred Warren did an excellent job tying together all the stories--and for fans of Splashdown Books' Avenir Eclectia project, this volume has an awesome tie-in. Definitely a book worth buying!
