★★★★★ Required reading for all married couples!!!
This is the perfect book for all couples contemplating marriage!! This excellent tale is about showing your true feelings of love: being a loving parent; being a loving spouse. This should be read before marriage and at every anniversary after, just to keep the “love-light burning”!!
—Iowarose, Amazon Review

★★★★★ Though Fictional, Great [Real] Life Lessons
Unique portrayal in this work that merged fiction with real life lessons on marriage and its impact on the family. Attention-grabbing and well written plot that kept me engaged from start to finish.
—Valerie Caraotta, Amazon Reviewer

★★★★★ Avoid a Stunted Marriage
A classic examination of events that can stunt a marriage, told through dreams and visions with the help of a very special genie. It’s a short, quick read with an important message. Want a quick look at making a relationship work? This book is for you.
—B. Lynn Goodwin, Author of ‘Disrupted’

★★★★★ A Quick, Well-Written Read
If you’re a fan of magical realism like I am, you will enjoy reading this mystical story. It always feels good when a narcissist gets a taste of his own medicine, and feels even better when this self-absorbed “family man” gets a chance to be a better person.”
Divine Daytripper, Amazon Review

★★★★★ A Poignant Exploration of Love and Marriage
The narrative’s pace, elegant prose, and willingness to address the challenges of marriage with honesty make it a truly engaging read. If you’re seeking a beautifully written, thought-provoking story that resonates with the complexities of human connections, “A Marriage Fable” is a must-read.
—Siavash Hajizadeh, Amazon Reviewer

★★★★★ Stories of the Read World told with a Whimsical Touch
This story with a whimsical touch is reminiscent of what a lot of families face in modern times. Often family life suffers neglect in the chase for power and money. The short story is well-written and I recommend it as a good read.
—Shobana Gomes, Author ‘Where the Rain Falls’

★★★★★ Never take for granted those we love the most!
What a clever—and sobering—story of a marriage that has gone off the rails, yet still has hope. Although it was short, it felt like a full-length novel with its complexity and fleshed-out characters. A fun way to remind oneself never to take for granted those we love the most!
—Susan Blumberg-Kason, Author of Good Chinese Wife

★★★★★ Wow! *EDtv* on steroids!
*Virtual Life* is a rocket-fast, prophetic story of a Google Glass app that lets everyone and anyone live-stream their lives. It presents a dark and totally arresting vision of our societal obsession with being seen: getting Views, Likes, Favorites, Comments—anything to be noticed and acknowledged. Highly recommended read!
