Review: The Jaguar Hunter

User Review - Goodreads

I have been known to open this book at random and real aloud whatever sentence my eyes fall upon; always, I find something gorgeous, evocative, rich , and powerful.

Review: The Jaguar Hunter

User Review  - Paul - Goodreads

Mixed bag of short stories/novellas, the best being 'R&R' and the title story. Tends to fall between literary and genre fiction, and leaves the reader somewhat disappointed. Read full review
