Book reviews are a great way for self-publishing authors to gain exposure. After all, how can someone buy your book if he or she doesn’t know it exists? Paired with other elements of your book promotion strategy, requesting reviews is a great way to get people talking about what you’ve written.

When we read good reviews, we definitely like to share them. It gives the author a few (permanent) moments of fame and allows us to let the community know about a great book. Here’s this week’s book review by Midwest Book Review:

The Job

Cramer Louis Jackson

Publisher: Outskirts Press

ISBN:9781432784584

Joe’s search for employment has turned into a frustrating full time job as he checks want ads, sends out resumes and shows up for announced vacancies, only to return to his walk up dumpy small apartment unemployed with his self-esteem dropping. After his latest humiliation, he opens the mail, which adds to his debasement with overdue bills.

However, the last letter is from a firm he never heard of, who offers him an interview. Instructions were sent to him by e-mail as this company provides no address or phone number. He goes on line, thankful he did not hock his computer, to obtain directions. Joe arrives for the interview and learns that if he takes the job, Joe Jamieson will no longer exist as he will have a new identity and compensation is one million dollars annually. He agrees to become Zann General Morgan. His position and new identity ties back to 1947 Roswell, and he soon finds another perk when he rescues the other selectee Layone from some nasty folks who have other plans for the pair.

There is plenty of action in this thought provoking science fiction romantic novella. The story line starts with a depressed everyman struggling to pay his bills and keep a dilapidated ceiling over his head before the plot moves into an exciting thriller with its Life Energy connection to Roswell. Encouraging people to take a radically fresh look at their options, the book reminds me of my husband’s reengineering teaching and mentoring position in which he destroyed a zillion paper cups claiming they were not half full or half empty; if you slice off the top, the cup is filled.

The Job is a quick engaging thriller.

Charlie’s Hoot

H. Trussell Pyle

The web of the drug trade runs deep. “Charlie’s Hoot” is a novel of a small Florida resort town and the web of crime that lurks deep within the town. A mob boss brother is urged by his religious sister to go straight, and the corruption that plagues the town digs deeper. As a cop works with a technical ace to break the drug ring, “Charlie’s Hoot” proves to be a suspenseful thriller of crime, family, and the punishments that go towards those who seek to do right.

Rebellion of Silence

Brittney Martin

Publisher: Outskirts Press

ISBN:9781432786250

As the final hopes fall apart, people try to get what justice they can. “Rebellion of Silence” is an entry into the Adon series, telling of the struggles within the city of Kirave, at war with the vicious Rahion, and, it seems, themselves. Avarah sees only violence, and joins the Silence, a group seeking to find justice before the city collapses on itself. Looking towards Sier, a man with the blood of the very creatures hunting them, “Rebellion of Silence” is an original take on fantasy, very much recommended.
