My new story, “Time’s Deformèd Hand,” is starting to garner some interesting praise from reviewers. Here’s just a sample:
- “I laughed, I cried, I winced, I snorted my milk in my cereal.”
Houston Chronometer
- “If you read only one book set in 16th Century Switzerland…well, if you read only five, this should be one of them.”
New York Timer
- “In ‘Time’s Deformèd Hand,’ Steven R. Southard manages to take Shakespeare’s ‘A Comedy of Errors’ and update it all the way from 1594 to 1600.”
Baltimore Sundial
- “Your book, ‘Time’s Deformèd Hand,’ is a completely inaccurate portrayal of Switzerland. There is no such town as Spätbourg and never has been. The Swiss people are not as obsessed with clocks as you describe. You will be hearing from our lawyers.”
Swiss Ministry of Tourism

- “It’s like Shakespeare meets the Marx Brothers, in a clock factory, and they’re all on a caffeine high.”
Greensborough Watchman
- “One character in the story uses da Vinci wings to fly. Really cool! I want those wings. Second, I’ve got to have one of the eight foot tall clockwork automatons. I really want both of ‘em, but I’m not gonna be greedy.”
