“The emotions in these tales are extremely vivid – making it an extremely entertaining and enjoyable experience for the reader. Good to read in one sitting, or to pick up and read a quick story every now and then.”
-- The Bookbag

​

“The stories range from a couple of pages to over thirty. They begin with two boys tossing pebbles and making wishes into a well, and they end with a writer awaiting the return of his wife while he contemplates the lives and scenery surrounding him. While varied and unique from one another, they are united by the frailty yet strength of their humanity. Lane is a seasoned writer, and his skills are on display in UFOs and God.”
-- The US Review of Books
 
“As an avid short story reader, I was excited to pick up this collection by talented author, Michael Lane. Like any short story collection, there are bound to be favorites, but in my case there are too many favorites to list. Some, like “Whiff,” “Anniversary,” and “War” brought tears to my eyes, while others, such as “Dr. Feel Good,” made me laugh out loud. No matter which story turns out to be your favorite, this outstanding collection is a ‘must read.’ UFOs and God opens a window into the human spirit: a masterfully woven tapestry of love, loss, forgiveness, and laughter.”
--  Leona Grieve (author of The Jigsaw Man, Limboland and Renascence under the pen name Leigh Goodison)

“Short story readers who relish philosophical and psychological introspection in a diverse array of characters and life-changing yet small events will find this collection thought-provoking in nature and satisfyingly diverse in scope.”
