Review of "A Well Kept Secret" Short Story
This book is a MUST HAVE. It is the definitive guide to all things cluster. My son is episodic with spring being his roughest time. It is complete torture to watch what he suffers through on a daily -hourly- basis when he is in a cycle. Anyone associated with a clusterhead: parent, spouse, friend, or doctor needs to read this book, then read it again. The references and links to advocacy groups who know and support CH research is priceless. Most importantly, it assures us all -especially our afflicted loved ones- that we are not alone with this bizarre, insidious malady.
Ashley, THANK YOU for validating my own research and teaching me more. There is strength in numbers, and together we will all fight the fight until a cure is found. In the meantime, we will do what we have to do in order to get laws changed so that the research which was halted long ago can begin again. I'll do my part by contacting my congressional representatives!

Review of "A Well Kept Secret" Short Story
It’s clear from your story that you’ve got a good mastery of your writing style. It shows in your diction, sentence structure, and ideas – you’re an excellent writer!
I really liked that your story was based on a real-world cave! It’s always cool when fiction has real-world roots.
The fact that you had a cliffhanger at the end of your introductory paragraph was so irritating – in an excellent way! It kept me hooked, along with the rest of the other golden nuggets of information (for example, “but he had more to lose” on page two) and interested throughout the rest of the descriptive exposition.
I GASPED when there was suddenly a ******! I knew that there was something there, but I was shocked to find it through him taking a photo. This sentence especially gave me chills: 'He froze as the image appeared over and over like a double exposure embedded in the darkness'.

Review of "Backstage Passes" Short Story
"It's an ingenious choice to have identical twins forging identical concert pass tickets!
GREAT opening line:
"Jason and Rowan felt it was their duty as identical twins to achieve as much mischief as possible before adolescence and adulthood."
Short stature and High IQ: an impish combo-platter!
In the world of Journalism, a study was done which determined that the beginnings and endings of paragraphs are what impact and stay with the readers most. And this playful, enticing line of yours certainly deserves such pride-of-place: "'This is where our twinning comes into play,' Rowan explained."
Also: "The air felt wrong somehow." Along the lines of the Devil being the details, you do a good job describing the little incremental safeguards these two implemented in order to pull off their scam.
