Thank you for showing us that you're capable of less than masterful writing. Your book, "No Middle Name" contains some examples of the types of mistakes I make. And probably other amateurs do as well.
In these short stories, there's a rush to reach a climax. Make that conclusion. Too much excitement in too short a time. The villains aren't fleshed out. Even Reacher is hurried into an idealized form.
Of course your weakest page is superior to my best one. But, sad to say, your short stories don't compare with your novels.
In fact, now that I think about it, take the time to consider your body of work, I'm having some reservations. I wonder if you'll ever achieve much literary success.
