Interesting Books: Reviews & Discussions

My book reviews favor independent authors, forgiving more issues for not possessing the Pimps of Literature’s resources. If represented by a publisher or agent, I hold you and your representation to a much higher standard since “published” and “represented” supposedly mean “higher quality literature.” I have an affinity for new and independent authors since they face many challenges, and I search both Amazon and writing platforms for their books. I try to read a book a day but often fail, making my reading list long, but if you desire an honest review, I will add your book to the list. Please send me an email introducing yourself and your book with the Amazon link. BE WARNED! Submission does not guarantee I will read your book. If read, the review will be posted.
Please enjoy, and I thank you very much for reading.
