My! What a fine review of my short story collection
If only any of it were true, and not just a piece of AI bullshit

It would be nice if real, living, breathing human beings gave their views on the book, even if they're not as generous as this...

t's always nerve-racking when your book is out there for the first time. Copies of Barvick Falls have gone out from the publisher and are landing through people's doors.

Awaiting reviews now...

My study, c 2010, the PhD era. I'm amazed how different it is now. Far fewer Eric Voegelin monographs for one thing....
