He has turned eFiction into an interesting on-line magazine for readers and writers alike. Moreover, his energetic work in making the eFiction website a social-media home for readers and writers in such a short time is nothing but astonishing. His promotional and publishing skills have made this eZine a success in a relatively short time. I highly recommend him for most any position that will involve these same skills.
