Choices & Chances by Patrick White; yet to be rated by Amazon or goodreads.
Some Thoughts on Choices & Chances:
Choices and Chances offers three distinct short stories that have everything to do with the pebble in the pond theory; the ripple-effect a single choice can have on the totality of our lives and those around us. The Streak’s main character plays a very active role in his situation, while the protagonist in The Traffickers chose an environment where others held the strings. In The Law of Unintended Consequences, you’re left having that internal debate to assign blame or determine cause and effect like some kind of prosecuting attorney. Read the rest of this entry »
Debut novel offers unique twists to fantasy genre
The Sword of Solonus by Adam Matthews; an Amazon and goodreads 4.7 stars average rating.

Some Thoughts on Letters I Wish I Had Sent:
Finally someone is speaking out for the rest of us in a series of letters to all of those companies and bureaucrats who add a level of annoyance to our lives that just isn’t appreciated as much as they may think. Randall hits the biggest offenders, from airport security gropers to the e-mail spammers in Africa desperate to give you boatloads of cash (just send them your bank account number with all of your other personal information).
