The Spike Collection: Ten Random Short Stories by Martin Skate is a group of stories, each with personality. Skate is definitely a writer at heart that thinks outside the box. Each story so totally different, drew me in with descriptive, REAL, memorable characters and a plot that held a steady pace from the first few words until the last. Impressive! My favourite was the second tale, The Siren. Poor guy. Head over heals for this beautiful goddess, Tina. He did his time. Got to really know her first. Taking his time to make the connection and right when he thought he was about to score his hopes were shattered, along with his heart. I was sitting at the airport reading it and had all eyes on me when I burst out laughing. To me, that's the sign of a good writer. One that can take me away from my everyday and let me get lost in the story. Nice job Skate and I look forward to reading great things about you.
