Journey into the Creative Mind of a Writing Reader

Request a Review

March 1st, 2012

Want your book reviewed on Amazon or here on my blog? I am currently accepting books in Kindle format or PDF for review. The following books are in my review queue:

Here are some general guidelines:

  • Send me a blurb about your book (or a link to a page with a blurb). I’ll tell you honestly whether I think I’d be a good reviewer for it. If I say I don’t think I am, but you want to go ahead, then read on.
  • I will put your book in the queue (see above) in the order that it is received. I make no promises about how quickly I will read your book.
  • I promise to read at least 50 to 75 pages of the book. If I’m not enjoying it at that point, I’ll stop and let you know that I’m not going to review it.
  • If I read your book and review it, the review will be honest. If you want a guarantee of a positive review, I’m sure there are some folks out there happy to provide it to you. You can find links to my Amazon reviews at The Writing Reader.

I prefer to read fantasy, sci fi, mystery, thriller, procedurals, and self-help, but feel free to pitch anything to me. I read just about everything. Send me your details via my contact form and let’s talk!

    Hi Liz,

    I write science fiction with a dollop of romance. I’d love you to take a look at my latest book ‘Starheart’ but if you’re interested in any of the others, that’s fine. You’ll find info at http://gretavanderrol.net/science-fiction/

    Drop me a line and tell me which book you want in which ebook format.

    Hi Liz,
    I’m preparing to publish my debut novel next month. It’s a crypto-historical story (sub-genre of fantasy as defined by Katherine Kurtz) set in 1992 after the fall of the Soviet Union. It speculates about the true source of that Communist regime’s power. You can see an excerpt of it at http://tmycann.wordpress.com/2012/02/29/excerpt-red-slaves-dust-to-blood/.

    I am looking for reviewers for my two new books. One is a western steampunk entitled “Tom Horn vs. the Warlords of Krupp.” The other is an apocalypse sci-fi story entitled “The Kiss of Night.” Here is a link to my Amazon author’s page with descriptions: http://www.amazon.com/-/e/B007SAVR0W

    Let me know and I can send a PDF.

    Hello Liz,

    You reviewed my debut novel, Defender: The Sanctuary Series, Volume One a while back, and I was wondering if you’d be interested in reviewing the second volume (Avenger, I can send you a copy if you need but it looked like you might have already bought it based on the first review) as well as a third novel that is about to be released, a modern day fantasy with thriller elements.

    Link to Avenger (in case you don’t quite remember): http://www.amazon.com/Avenger-The-Sanctuary-Series-ebook/dp/B005WAVPG6/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1318781479&sr=1-1

    Link to new book description: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/150813

    Thanks for your consideration!

      I did buy it, Robert! I loved the first one so much that I had to. But if you want to send me the third once it’s out, I’d love to bump the two of them up my TBR list list. I’ll send you an email.

    Checking to see if you’re interested in my new book, Elusive. It is the first in the On The Run series. Here’s a blurb:

    “The Fugitive” meets “Roman Holiday”

    Free-spirited Zoe Hunter loves living on the edge, but when her ex-husband disappears and his business partner is murdered, life gets too precarious even for her. When she thinks things can’t get worse, several million dollars vanish from her ex-husband’s business account and Zoe is suddenly the focus of a murder and fraud investigation. In a search for answers, Zoe impulsively skips town and embarks on a journey that takes her from Las Vegas to Italy.
    Thanks!

    Hello,

    My debut novel comes out on the 1st March (I can send you the ebook file straight away though)

    Here’s a brief synopsis: In 1891, in the suburbs of Victorian London, a tragedy took place. Here is a tragic tale compiled by the Maid, who worked her whole life for Alexander Vile, and his late family. She remembers as she wanders up the cobbled streets that echo her every footstep and underneath the over-bearing trees which give her sunless days. She paces through the open market squares where strangers are living their life as if no event took place, all gathering to find out about the new innovations, all dressed in blacks and greys. While the world is whizzing by, she reminisces over a chain of events so romantic and so woeful that you’ll wish you could re-write the ending…
