Here is what some reviewers had to say about
Seven By Seven:
"Expertly compiled and edited by Tony Burton, Seven By Seven: Seven Deadly Tales Of The Seven Deadly Sins By Seven Deadly Authors is a 194-page anthology of 49 "flash fiction" pieces contributed by seven gifted writers, each of whose succinct and polished stories feature one of the seven deadly sins. Showcasing works pertaining to Lust, Gluttony, Sloth, Greed, Wrath, Envy, and Pride, each represented by the literary and storytelling skills of B.J. Bourg, Kimberly Brown, Deborah Elliott-Upton, John M. Floyd, Sunny Frazier, Gary Hoffman, and Frank Zafiro. Brief but memorable stories that will linger in the mind and imagination, Seven By Seven is enthusiastically recommended reading."
Midwest Book Review, June 2006
"Seven writers x seven deadly sins = 49 ways of death in 600 words each. These authors are killers! Indulge in all the seven deadly sins--they're heavenly!"
Gay T. Kinman, author of Castle Reiner amd others
"Seven By Seven is a plethora of skillfully written tales that will amuse and chill you, topped off by a foreword by an outstanding author I can never get enough of, G. Miki Hayden."
Babs Lakey, author of Spirit of the Silent Butler and others
"What a delightful idea! Give seven talented writers the same themes – in this case, the Seven Deadly Sins – and see what they come up with. Tony Burton did exactly that and the result is a treasure chest of short fiction. Each author crafted a sinfully good tale with sinfully bad characters, beginning with Lust, then moving on to Greed, Envy and the rest."
Earl Staggs, Derringer Award Winner and author of Memory of a Murder
"If you're
like me, you can't bear to be without reading material for a single idle moment,
and when you're waiting in line, waiting in a dentist's office, waiting at a red
light, waiting waiting waiting, your eyes start seeking any available printed
matter. Here's a book to keep with you for just such times. Each of these 49
flash fiction stories can be read in a couple of minutes, so you don't risk
becoming absorbed in a tale only to be jerked back to reality by an impatient
dentist or blaring horns.
"The contributing authors are BJ Bourg, Kimberly Brown, Deborah
Elliott-Upton, Sunny Frazier, Gary R. Hoffman, Frank Zafiro, and Tony Burton.
Each wrote seven stories revolving around the seven deadly sins of lust,
gluttony, sloth, avarice, anger, envy, and pride. The concept is ingenious, and
the results thoroughly entertaining. Seeing how different writers take a general
topic and make it highly individual is enjoyable in itself, and instructive for
anyone who writes, but the stories stand on their own merits as entertainment.
"Buy a copy. Dip into it during those "gotta have something to
read" moments. You won't be disappointed."
