I read the first page or so of this, but I seem to find it difficult to juggle more than one book at once.
I will be getting to it soon though. Regards Caleb |

Finally got to this.
Cool little story. The only thing I was disappointed about was that this could've really been fleshed out to be a great novella. Peter and Palequus were great characters that I'd like to know more about and I think I could have enjoyed Mr Kite's Cavalcade of Unnatural History could have been a really interesting location for a much bigger story.

Caleb, thanks for reading the story and the honest feedback, I greatly appreciate it. I plan on doing more Palequus and Peter tales, and subsequently put them in a collection. You gave me an idea to expand "Unnatural Time"... thanks!
If you are so inclined, would you mind posting your review on the Smashwords site? I think it would be useful to potential readers, and for someone like me getting started, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again and I hope you'll try my other fiction out. |

Collected works for the two characters would be great - but it would be good to flesh them out more as characters - a bit of backstory wouldn't hurt, particularly for Peter - eg. why is he disgraced. Also would love to know why the alternate reality he experienced scared him so much.
I wrote the review on Smashwords - with some corrections as my English was shocking in my last post. I have your other stories on my device as I'm finishing off 2010 with some short stories, so I'll have them all read by 2011. Regards Caleb |
