Very worthwhile reading from a strong new talent. This second collection of her stories includes my favorite, 'The Trip,' the disintegration of a family on a road trip, and another hard hitter, 'The Return Journey,' about the tragic reunion of mother and daughter. 'McDroll' is a pen name, but it stands for powerful fiction involving real people at the end of their rope. When an author can get a bunch of genres that shouldnt fit together swirling and twirling around together like a Dancing with the Stars champion, the odds. A very enjoyable 5 star read for lovers of short fiction.' – Darren Sant McDroll's stripped back style is interesting and unique.

How refreshing! The endings when they come are usually sharp, stark and a shock to the system. '(McDroll) bypasses the pleasantries and goes straight for the jugular. 'As expected, the writing is filled with the ease and familiarity that I expected.' – Spinetingler Mag

It's impossible! Smart, funny and thoroughly Scottish, McDroll is a writer to watch out for.' – Chris Rhatigan, Death By Killing 'I challenge you to read Fiona Johnson (McDroll) and not like her. McDroll also dives into the lives of desperate women forced to face the realities of their shattered lives, pushed to make desperate choices as they spiral ever downwards, to protect their children while sacrificing personal hopes and dreams. Meet Beeny and Jango in A STRAIGHT GAME, two West of Scotland, small town neds trying to make it in the world as petty criminals who will use any weapon available to get revenge if they feel their twisted morality has been crossed. KICK IT AGAIN wastes no time getting to the point, kicking and punching with killer dialogue and hard hitting characters that ask for no mercy and receive no favours.
