I just read a short story by Richard L. Foland, called 'At What Price'.
Now, if you are looking for something short, interesting, and slightly futuristic (with a lot of twists), give this a go! Here's the description:
In 2012 Alexander Vernick killed his fiance after someone proved she was stealing from him. That person then turned him in and he was arrested and tried. He managed to get off but has spent the better part of a decade looking for the person who ratted on him and he's found him. Now he can have his revenge. But what price will he have to pay another ten years down the line?
Need more info? Here's my review:
Wow - the imagery really got me going! I can see this book successfully be extended into a full-length title, no problem. Richard manages to describe scenes and even futuristic objects with ease. I am a big fan of authors who are able to capture atmosphere - well done! I have to add that I got lost once or twice and I would have liked to know more regarding the details of the big twist, but I really enjoyed it. Even completely forgot about my cup of coffee (a rare occurrence).

I got my first review!
Oh, happy day! I am so excited! Woke up this morning to my very first review for my fantasy novel, 'The Unsheathed Key'.
It was posted by a reader named LostLigeia on Smashwords.com - rated 5 stars!
Here it is (sic):
'Thrilling and imagenative! “The Unsheathed Key” is one of those books, you cannot put down anymore, once you start reading. Captivating story, authentic characters, attention for the detail and here and there a hint of subtle humor - All this makes this book a nice piece of work and the perfect book, to forget about everything else for a while. Yurika Kotzé tells us a story about the classical sides of good and evil in a fictitious world, but there is a lot more behind her words than just a simple story…
I am waiting for the next one!'
>Blushing profusely<
Thanks, LostLigeia; you have made my day!
