Robert Fleming of AALBC.com calls it “A profoundly memorable and affecting novel,” and Kirkus Discoveries  describes it as “a sensitive study of race and history in the American South” and “a multilayered thriller.”

Well Considered is a suspenseful but deeply moving novel that gripped me throughout.
I recommend it.”     — William C. Byers

“Days after finishing the read, I continued to be lost in its prevailing attitudes. Choice is always an aspect of a great book.”

Cologne No. 10 For Men Cover

“This is truly a superb novel of the Vietnam war, a novel that compares favorably with those earlier “dark humor” war novels such as CATCH-22 and M.A.S.H. The writing crackles with authenticity.”
— Writers Digest

A funny and serviceable satire about the gross rationalizations that propel war and peace.”
Kirkus Discoveries Review

Cologne #10 for Men
Hilarious, dinky dau, delightfully wacky! Finally a cure for the stink of war.

“I love the way Wilfred recycles the bodies. That’s fabulous stuff  with a direct line to Heller’s Catch-22 and perfectly captures the insanity of the Vietnam War.”
Richard Peabody, editor, Gargoyle Magazine
