Review of The Sphere

Review by William J. Jackson

Rated: 13+

| (4.0)

As a writer of superheroes (albeit steampunk twisted and such) and lover of comic books, I like this very much. The thoughts need to be in italics, and paragraphs with indents should be made for a more uniform fit, but the world you've built and the 'strengther' (nice name!) protagonist are nice, as well as the levels of power and how they fit into rankings. Good fight scene. Excellent.

As far as the words, and it forming a relation from me to you...spot on. Such is life, many a day. Bravo and honest, friend.

Review of The Awakening

Review by William J. Jackson

Rated: 13+

| (4.0)

First-person narrative is great, as is the story. I gave it four stars only due to minor grammatical errors and a story that seemed to have a lot that should have been in it but wasn't. I hope you don't take the last part as a negative. My meaning is I wanted more, and the tone of the story suggested it, a novella, novel, etc. Then boom. It was over. This world is very good, the characters too, so please, please...write more!

Review of Steampunk War: Crimean

Review by William J. Jackson

Rated: 13+

| (4.0)

Well done. Walking ironclads with a Scottish flair are brilliant. A well told battle. Could have used a bit more detail in the battle damage is all. Is this story continued elsewhere?

I became acquainted with haiku through an article on Basho. Loved it! This takes me back there! Each one is a gem. Thank you.

Rated: 13+

Informative and reads,like an old book, which is a plus. The glory days of 19th and early 20th century writing are revivified. Excellent work.

Review of The Swift

Rated: 13+

Riveting. The steampunk is solid, mechanics too. Swift is a great Rocketeer of Steam character. How far along are you on the WIP?

As an indie author of an entire steampunk/superhero universe, I was thrilled to see this image. Where's the story? Please say there is one...

Review of Red Tide

Review by William J. Jackson

Rated: ASR

| (4.0)

Very modern writing style, lots of dialogue, brief settings. Odd for a retro story, but it works! I like the characters, the story, the background. A few minor grammar bumps is all.Capital show! Does this tale continue elsewhere?
