1 [Review] Every Version of You Justin Hickey , 2022 single work review
— Appears in: Andromeda Spaceways Magazine , September no. 88 2022; (p. 112-113) 'Nearly sixty percent of the world’s population uses social media. For individuals, that means logging in to Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok to engage with friends— and enemies—in a stream of algorithmically-tailored content. “Engaging” in the last decade has come more and more to mean “grow incensed by” someone’s creation or comment.

— Appears in: Andromeda Spaceways Magazine , September no. 80 2020; (p. 139-141)
— Review of Ivory's Story Eugen Bacon , 2020 single work novel 'Mention the Dreaming, and many fantasy fans will think of the setting for Neil Gaiman’s comic book series The Sandman. In it, avatars like Death and Delirium populate a realm where humanity’s imagination bumps against all that’s eternal. The titular character evokes our shared hopes and fears in lines like, “What power would Hell have if those here imprisoned were not able to dream of Heaven? Lofty, sure. But Gaiman’s treatment of the concept is nevertheless a pop culture varnish. The Dreaming as a notion comes from Aboriginal Australian spiritualism, and is primarily concerned with reverence for ancestors and the environment.' (Introduction)
