Praise for the story "The Loneliest Man on Earth"

"He has a unique voice. I've never read anything even close to this character. Bravo!" - Andy Behrman, author of Electrobody

"I enjoyed the story a lot. It's very sharp, and that sharpness has a lot going on in it, and yet it's all very clear, and the poetry inside isn't weeded out by the sharpness.. Kudos, man." - Dennis Cooper

"Well done. Crisp dialogue. The story has a rhythm, a lilt, that carries it along. It's a fizzy blend of danger and hope, just like life in New York." - Ivan Webster, author of The Cares of Day
