What readers are saying…
“H&D Plumbing.” Fireside Magazine (Issue 48, Oct. 2017).
“The piece points to a secular kind of faith, one that allows [the characters] to deal with what happens while not claiming at some moral superiority. They simply have the skills required for this service, and so they use them to make their living … So yeah, a refreshing and fun piece that was a blast to read!”

“A Post-Modern Oracle.” Fireside Quarterly (2018).
“The piece is rather fun and funny, featuring a mesh of ancient power and modern (or post-modern) twists. The story illustrates a change in not only perspective but values from the stories about the old oracles, where fighting against prophecy means a person is doomed. This is a story that has learned from those older tales and taken a much different approach to fate and pride.”
