John Floyd's Reviews

"John Floyd has all the right moves in this collection of stories.  In the tradition of O. Henry, he takes the reader down the twisty path of crime...to where the reward is far better than a pot of gold."

-- Carolyn Haines, author of Ham Bones, the latest Sarah Booth Delaney mystery

"Novelists, playwrights and authors don't write short stories because they can't introduce believable characters, spin a complete and satisfying yarn, and thrill the reader in the brief space of five to thirty pages. John Floyd can, and does with almost unerring style, in Rainbow's End."

-- Jim Fraiser, author of Vanished: Mississippi Gulf Coast

"Rainbow's End is the perfect one-a-day pick-me-up for mystery enthusiasts or folks who enjoy their reading short, clever and very satisfying."

--J.C. Patterson, The Clarion Ledger

"Saying John Floyd writes entertaining mysteries is like saying Tiger Woods plays a good game of golf. Somehow the words just don't do their talents justice."

--Ben Douglas, The Northside Sun

"Mr. Floyd has created a unique collection of short stories."

--Cerri Ellis, Futures Mysterious Mystery Magazine

"John has mastered the challenge of keeping an entire story absorbing..."

     - Elaine August, SouthernScribe.com

"...O. Henry, James Thurber and Vladimir Nabokov are among the few storytellers whose short works make me think, 'Now that's what short stories are all about.' The same is true of John Floyd."

--Nancy Horner, Bookfoolery & Babble

"John's fiction is by turns clever, nail biting, funny and jaw dropping. If you enjoy stories that fling you through their pages like a stone from a slingshot, John M. Floyd is a writer you want to be acquainted with."
