Short Stories/Anthologies/Novella:

1. https://coldhandboyack.wordpress.com/2018/01/29/the-hat-by-c-s-boyack/ I always have good intentions about reviewing the work of other authors, especially when I enjoy it.  We all know about good intentions though don’t we?  My follow-through is sadly lacking.  Add in that I’m not an experienced reviewer, and when I read other reviews I realize how poor my own are…well, you can see I’m not all that motivated.
