From Tangentonline.com's review of Dragons, Knights, & Angels Aug. 2006, part 2.
Wade Ogletree struck a chord of authenticity with “Tyler McHenry, Middle-Aged Lover of Books.” At a mere four hundred and sixty words, the story hauls you in, makes its point, and finishes.
... the prose glides along, stopping only long enough to harvest the details, leaving the chaff by the roadside. The outcome was an auspicious nonpareil that caught me off guard. Mr. Ogletree’s text incorporates just enough science fiction technology to spur the reader forward and enough common sense language to make the story easy to read. It's the type of work I like seeing in Dragons, Knights, & Angels: spiritual, yet not preachy. This gets a high recommendation from me.
From Tangentonline.com's
review of Fantasy Magazine issue #2.
In "The Sphinx and Ernest Hemingway," Wade Ogletree
pays eloquent homage to the Hemingway story "The Short, Happy Life of
Francis Macomber." On safari, Hemingway shoots a female sphinx
that he has mistaken for a lion. When he comes to claim his kill, the
sphinx has concealed enough of herself that he again mistakes her for
something she is not —this time a wounded woman.
Ogletree paints an interesting portrait of Hemingway that rings startlingly
true. He is not the myth portrayed as a parallel to the sphinx.
Just as she is neither lion nor human, Hemingway is not a monster or a god.
The central message seems to be that it could only end badly for either one
to embrace and transform into one half of who they are, while abandoning the
other half completely.
From Tangentonline.com's review of The Sword Review issue #11.
“Aleskei’s Revolution” by Wade Ogletree ... The CEO of Concupi Science, Inc., Aleskei Volchenkov, is a frail and sickly old man. Using his company’s time machine, he wishes to relive an affair from long ago. But Aleskei’s greedy desires put stress on both his health and his relationship with his wife, and might be the end of him.
Aleskei is an interesting character, having both virtues and flaws. Traveling back with him made for strong reading, and although the story is fairly linear, I enjoyed it..

And Saturn Below
by Wade Ogletree
With its dragonfly array, the tubular vessel rotated before me. Its name came into view, looking almost as crisp as when it arrived: "Kronos III, Polar Explorer". The crystalline plastic tether pointed needle-like at the gaseous planet below, and nothing I saw told me why the ship was dropping orbit. I reported my all clear and prepared to dock.
From halfway around the planet, Roberta cautioned, "She's a second-hand piece of junk, Miguel. If she's not worth saving, write her off and get out."
"Be careful what you say. I hear your heart, but the company would hear only your words."
"You hear my heart? I don’t think so. You don’t even speak the language."

A Picture’s Worth
by Wade Ogletree
(Twenty-two by seven inches, sepia-toned silver gelatin print, 1992) Woman with Butterfly. Cindy poses in Lan Kwai Fong, the cobble-stoned street narrow, sloped, and crowded with the bars and nightclubs that have made the area so popular with expatriates. I shot this early in the morning, so the street is empty. In her palm, Cindy holds a butterfly; it looks alive, feeding off of Cindy’s overflowing vitality.
She wears only a gauzy dress and looks ethereal against this stark background. I saw that contrast as the metaphor for the exhibit: open-air, above the street in Lan Kwai Fong, the beautiful on display in a barfly’s alley.

In 2007, I was interviewed by nuwireinvestor.com for an article on the GO Zone. This has nothing to do with fiction, but I thought I'd post it all the same. Below are links to the article and then an audio of the interview.
