Reviews At only seven thousand words One More Ride in the Rain was a relatively short read; the questions it's raises, however, will stick with me long after I put it down. Excellent writing quality and style form the backbone of this well paced story and I'm sure I'm not the only one wishing it was a full length novel. Characters were well colored in for the small span of a short story, and the masterful description placed me right there in the cabin. With an ending gently reminiscent of A Man Called Outlaw many questions are left unanswered. I know readers will each see the ending playing out slightly differently and just perhaps, that's the beauty of the story; the ending is an affair of the heart. Bravo K.M Weiland, Bravo. Read Full Review Online Precentor One More Ride in the Rain is an outstanding read. I gave it five stars, because that was the highest rating available. It deserves more. After their Sergeant is wounded in battle, four war-weary Confederate soldiers take refuge inside a cabin--inhabited by a frightened widow who lost her husband in the war. Sam, one of the soldiers, tells the tale and through his vivid descriptions, readers enter the cabin and meet unforgettable characters. A short story that ended sooner than I wanted it to, One More Ride in the Rain will live with me for many years to come. Read Full Review Online Lorna G. Poston, Missouri K.M. Weiland is a time-traveler whose destination is the past. She takes her readers back to a time long since, and then as in a documentary she brings events into the moment, this moment when you read her stories.... Weiland is a skilled writer. She massages all our senses so that we are there with the four soldiers, sharing their physical misery and their mental torment....
This story is not necessarily remarkable for its premise, but its theme of honoring duty at all cost is palpable. She puts us there, and that is remarkable. Read Full Review Online Frederick L.
