I love the book's cover. It's incredibly striking. Congratulations!
Lighting the Dark Side (Book) - 7/6/2008 11:56:42 AM
From the reviews on Amazon I believed this one would be good. Not until I began to read did I realize just how good. I would recommend Lighting the Dark Side to all fiction readers and good luck putting it down once your start!

Lighting The Dark Side-Six Modern Tales (Book) - 6/14/2008 9:15:54 AM
(by Jan Evan Whitford,Allbooks Reviews)
The book jacket claims these tales will exercise our emotions, capture our imagination, and challenge us to think in new directions. Well, I'm here to tell you all that the author delivers on all that, plus much, much more! These novellas and short stories are definitely page-turners, but what impressed me the most was their character-driven force. Potter skillfully intertwined succinct narrative and some natural, fast-paced dialogue to present characters so real, they leapt right off the page and captivated me immediately....I shouldn't think it'd be long before a major publishing house snaps Mr. Potter up because he belongs on the bookshelves with the likes of Jeffery Deaver and Peter Abrahams.
Highly recommended by reviewer: Jan Evan Whitford,Allbooks Reviews

The cover looks great.
It really catches the eye. I think this one is a keeper.
I'll be waiting for my autographed copy in March.
Cheers,
Dani
A Pirate Story-A five year old's first story! (Short Story) - 7/29/2009 5:39:16 PM
Cute story with a happy ending. But they were pirates. Shouldn't they stay in the stomach of that shark so they don't go out and hijack anymore ships?
Prominent Couple Slain (Short Story) - 11/17/2008 9:17:25 AM
Not my usual fare, but reading your words is like watching a Perry Mason rerun... You have me on the edge of my seat with baited breath waiting for more...

Bent, Not Broken Chapter 4 (Short Story) - 10/4/2008 5:12:48 PM
William, I really don't know what to say about Dwayne. I'm aware of the condition, I've come across it a few times before but it still disturbs me, it's a little scary for me, but I'd never 'torture' the man in any way, he has my sympathy, I just wish I understood better.

A Pirate Story-A five year old's first story! (Short Story) - 9/28/2008 11:25:09 AM
I'm envious; really! I only started writing about a year ago. Reading Alex's story reminds me of how much catch-up I have to do!
Lovely little story. Have you got him a PC yet? You have? Really? Brilliant.!

i like this one! suspense with an amusing twist. cool.
THE VEGAS INCIDENT-a short story. (Short Story) - 2/18/2008 1:11:09 PM
It was direct and to the point. I liked it, but I wonder if you couldn't expand on his inate fear a bit, since that's the real meat of the story. Two or three hundred more words would go a long way, I think, in further building that tension. Anyway, like I said, I liked it, and I appreciate the good grammar, which seems rather rare these days.
Dead of Knight-A Jack Staal Mystery -a Book Review (Article) - 11/13/2009 12:27:11 AM
Congratulations, William! Sounds like a story with twists. Something about killers seems fascinating to me, and it looks as though you delve into his mind. Good luck with this book!

A Married man is sleeping with??? (Article) - 11/10/2008 9:54:14 AM
Ah, you made me laugh...
What I find so sad is all of the forms at school that ask which parent has custody...there isn't a spot to say non-divorced, both parents have custody from the same house... So sad that divorce and cheating are the "norms" nowadays.
Cryssa
A Married man is sleeping with??? (Article) - 11/9/2008 1:05:06 PM
You are right.... about the reasons... and also about all the articles about cheaters.... but... how sad that being bored will be reason enough to cheat on the person who is your love.... anyway... that's the way society has opened all these doors... I say...slam then shut...and snuggle with your special person... lindalaw

A RebeccasReads Review (Article) - 9/28/2008 2:13:47 PM
I really do have to agree, Dwayne Johnson was a piece of work! One of the very best characterizations I have read in a very long time. And a suspense-driven buildup where you just knew this guy was going to go postal at any moment. To say more would be to tell the story. Very well done.

Very well presented, William!!! This is what sells books (you knew that). You obviously know a critical additional thing: Publishing a book is one thing, but Marketing the book is something quite different. And you are doing an excellent job, here. Kudos!!!

Nothing, But I Love You (Poetry) - 5/3/2009 11:53:22 PM
How beautifully you've expressed the love and loss of your mom.
Nothing, But I Love You (Poetry) - 4/27/2009 4:49:52 PM
A most compelling account of tender love for your mom, William. My deepest sympathy. Love and peace to you,
Regis
Nothing, But I Love You (Poetry) - 4/19/2009 10:40:40 AM
William,
With such tender words as these, I'm certain your mother felt the tenderness of your heart as well during the time she was ill. Having lost my own mother in 2000, this poem brought tears to my eyes. May God embrace you with many comforting thoughts about your mother throughout the days ahead.

Nothing, But I Love You (Poetry) - 4/11/2009 6:41:28 AM
William,
This is a poignant write with a mixture of emotions throughout. True to real life, emotions are every bit as complex as the situations that trigger them. The overwhelming feel of helplessness in this tribute breaks the heart. Keep the ending lines in your heart over all. Love and Hugs,
Sheila
Nothing, But I Love You (Poetry) - 4/7/2009 10:15:03 PM
How my heart feels the pain you suffer and agonize, yet sometimes it is out of our hands. So gently you handed her spirit over to God where she now flourishes, no longer tired or in pain. Tearful, yet understandable. It is very evident the love she had for you and you still have for her. I am truly so sorry for your loss and for the pain you still embrace...
Be always safe,
Karen
Nothing, But I Love You (Poetry) - 4/7/2009 4:19:16 PM
William,
There's tenderness, regret and self-examination in this confessional and a natural sense of guilt, but it's also a tribute to a fine woman who loved you as much as you loved her. Again, William, I'm sorry for your loss.
John
Nothing, But I Love You (Poetry) - 4/7/2009 2:33:31 PM

I've got ten years on you, bub! Will be fifty in June! *sighhhh* Oh, to be 40 again, or better yet, 30 or even 20! LOL Enjoy your youth while you have it; the years fly by quicker as you age! TRUST me on that!

Goodbye Mom (Poetry) - 3/9/2009 9:47:42 AM
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss, William! My mom passed away 2 1/2 years ago. Although writing our book about her helped ease much of the pain, I still miss her. May you find peace and comfort as you walk this path of letting go and grief.

Goodbye Mom (Poetry) - 3/8/2009 5:56:23 PM
Sorry to hear of your loss; you're in my prayers, William! She now rests in Jesus' Strong Arms! (I know the pain too well; lost my mom nearly 19 years ago, on March 17, 1990; she would have been sixty in May of that year!) May God bless you and comfort you in your time of grief!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

Hello William,
A great tribute to your Mom and well written too. I know she's smiling with you, it is a temporary separation, "Mom is close...never far."

My most sincere sympathies for your loss William. It's a wonderful tribute/poem you've written for her. When we lose our mother we lose our best friend. Remember, she's always as close as your next thought.
I wish you peace of heart,
