I finally got around to reading all of your blackwater entries and I wish I hadn't waited so long. Your style of writing is hypnotic. You paint such beautiful, surreal scenes with your writing. The pace of the story is masterful, speeding up and slowing down at all the right parts. I lost count of how many times I had to look up words that you used that I had never heard before, leaving me astonished to say the least. Rikki is such a unique character, I love everything about your blackwater stories!

Another wonderful installment posted just when I was in need of quality and immersive entertainment. I really enjoy how you layered Ricki’s reality and brought me into the same sense of confusion/subtle emotional distress/discomfort. Absolutely worth the wait!
