Here are reviews of some of the stories that I've read. I've had some authors comment on my reviews, although mostly they write to tell me they've read my blurbs.

Occasionally I read a book that is so awful that I'm angry enough to write a negative review on it. But writing a review worth reading is a lot of work, so most of my reviews concern stories that I really enjoyed, and which made me think of new ideas. Not surprisingly, the authors of these stories also tend to be my favorite authors.
