Not Enough Hours in the Day By Edgar Million

Not Enough Hours in the Day By Edgar Million

Catherine Porter is drowning in life. Kids. Husband. Job. Not enough hours in the day. Then she finds a way to pause time. A way to become Mrs Perfect. The yummy mummy who has it all.
 Can anyone 'have it all' though?
 I loved this short.  Unfortunately, it does suffer from what I call "Setting the stage" but once you get passed the first few hundred words, you get the meat of the story.  A special locket troupe.  Despite many of the stereotypes, it was a refreshing read.  I would recommend this book to the over 30 crowd.

The Dog Who Loved Sherlock Holmes By Ralph E. Vaughan


Levi, the leader of the Three Dog Detective Agency, must channel his inner Sherlock Holmes if he is to solve a mystery, and survive.


This cute tale is geared towards a younger but intelligent audience.  Well written.  It is a worthy read as long as you keep in mind the target audience is younger than adults

Recommend Read.

Old Man's Time By William S. Fletcher

Old Man's Time By William S. Fletcher

This short story is about an old man finding his place in a futuristic world; a world of space travel and space colonization. Earth is suffocating and new worlds are needed. An expedition with the aim of colonizing a new planet is sent out.

What can I say about this quick read?  Chapter 1 felt very disjointed while I continued to read Chapter 2, 3 and Chapter 4 really isn't a chapter but a punch line.  There is something very sympathetically at the heart of this story and is a worthy read.

For the author, I think you are still trying to find your voice, I wish you luck on that journey.

Pest Control by Jameson Kowalczyk

Pest Control by Jameson Kowalczyk

In the distant future, an exterminator faces off against an evolutionary abomination inside a derelict apartment complex.

With a main character named Spoor, who wouldn't want to read this short story.  It is a little crass but it adds character to the story.  And I have to say I was absolutely entertained by this little gem.

It is witty.  It has a twist I wouldn't have guess.  It is a future that I wouldn't want to be in.

Highly recommend for those with black sense of humour.
