“This is beyond great, it's sensational, and it's got such a strong beginning. Lines like ‘you are the risk’ are plainspoken but priceless. As for the story itself, it's just gorgeous in so many places, and as a draft, it's jaw-dropping.”
— Michael Merriam, on “The New Roaring ‘20s”
“The writer has created a tense story about a mother and daughter overcoming an abusive man. The story progresses at a good pace and there are surprises along the journey. There is fantastic tension at the midpoint and final sequence. I was on the edge of my seat! This premise is hauntingly familiar but there is enough of a new spin to offer something original.”

“I feel like Yoda with Anakin sometimes with your work; I feel this dark presence filled with anger and hatred. Shit fucks with people and you’ve mentioned that shit has fucked with you. It worked really well with this piece.”
