"Advocate For The Dead" by Paul D. Aronson Chapter 1: The dead girl stood in my office. You would think I'd be used to such things by now, but thankfully she wasn't too frightening a corpse. Though the dirt of the grave still clung to her white dress, she looked pretty as a picture, a postcard of youth and innocence. But I knew she was no longer innocent, even if she didn't think so, other wise she wouldn't be here facing me with that question in her eyes. I think the question was more of be...

Entry 1: New Job: Monday July 11 Great news! I accepted the job offer from the Church Of The Resurrection today. Donna seems to have her reservations about it, but I think it will be a good way for us to get out from under the wing of her parents. Her dad told me it's a fine idea, but her mom has expressed it's a mistake for us to move so far away “just so you can be the custodian of some old church.” Since I was laid off a month ago, we've been living with her folks. It's driving me crazy. A...

I really enjoyed this and cannot wait to read more. I am currently reading a non fiction book about the colonization of Australia and that's what got me to read your story, to see how close your fiction was to the account I'm reading. I'm happy to say it's very close. Either you have done your homework or you are an aussie yourself. Either way, I really got sucked into the story, and the different tales you have converging here. I'm anxious to see how these two will collide. Your characters a...
This works for me on two levels. On one it takes me back to my childhood, and the dreams of youth. On the other it is a cleverly crafted song, with a chorus that sticks in your head. Now I'll be running around with a line about french chateaus running through my head ;) This is easily a 9/10..i'd give you a 10 if I could hear the music ;)
This would make the perfect illustrated book for the classroom. I was involved in a reading program for young readers last year, and I could see those kids getting excited reading a book such as this. I like the way it causes the reader to interact and think about what they would do in that situation. This is just the type of story kids need to instill not only a love of reading but to think about what they've read.

Coming into this at part 4, I really wasn't expecting to be able to follow it too clearly, but I was surprised with the pacing and dialogue. it really propelled the story along for me. Though I'm not familiar with different terms, as in the races, and places of this world you are writing about, I was still able to follow. In fact I was on edge with the interchange between Ableton and Governor Zion, wondering how it was all going to end up. The character of Ableton is realized well in this sho...
I like this a lot! I used to write lyrics for a lot for bands I was part of in my youth, but they were not as good as this. A lot of elements here jump out at me. first, I like how in the verse segments the 3rd and 4th line provide the rhyming scheme, then the scheme changes for the chorus parts (or what I see as the chorus). Beyond how the lyrics are written and laid out, the subject is very evocative too, giving the reader striking images that I think would be even further felt with accompa...
