While I do accept book review
requests, please understand that not every book is a fit for my tastes. I will be upfront and honest on if I have the
time to meet any deadlines you have for reviews as well as if it is something
that I am interested in.
Facts you should know:
- Typically I’ll need 3 to 4 weeks notice if you would like to have a review published by a certain deadline. Why? I might have other commitments I’ve promised to other authors. Really, I am a chauffer to two kiddos and it might be a hectic time!
- My preference is mysteries, crime, comedies and science fiction. I do enjoy nonfiction, but it has to be a topic I’m really interested it.
- Young adult books can be reviewed by my kiddos and me. Their reviews will be shorter as we’re practicing STAR quality writing with the youngest.
- Don’t ask for a review of erotica books as the rating will be DNF (did not finish). The last one that was sent to me was passed off as science fiction…I couldn’t get beyond the first five pages.
- Word count is not an issue.
I will post my review on both
Goodreads and Amazon in addition to the blog.
From time to time I will also post on other sites, if deemed
appropriate.
If you would like to submit a
request, just shoot me a note through the “Contact Me” form on the blog. Please include your name, email, book title,
genre, synopsis, and your target review date.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Christopher Patterson. I am the author of A Chance Beginning, Book One of a three book fantasy series. I have written book one and two, was with a small press, and then ended up self publishing. After self publishing, a small press in Tucson Arizona offered to help republish my books and fix a few editorial issues. So I have republished A Chance Beginning and am currently doing the same thing with book 2, Dark Winds, and working with Wheatmark on book 3, Breaking the Flame. I found you through Goodreads
Again, the book is titled A Chance Beginning. It is Fantasy.
Here is the dust cover blurb:
Erik Eleodum is a simple man. He doesn’t want to be a hero. He doesn't need fame or fortune. He is content farming his family's homestead in northern Háthgolthane and raising a simple family, like his father, for the rest of his life. In fact, adventure is the last thing on his mind.
Befel, Erik's brother, and Bryon, his cousin, can't think of anything worse than farming for the rest of their lives. They want to be heroes. They want fame and fortune. They want to leave their families and go east, to the country of Golgolithul, where they are sure to find easy wealth and great adventure.
But when these three young men leave their farmstead, they quickly discover the world is not so simple, not so easy. Most fortune is laden with treachery, fame must be earned with blood, and adventures are rarely grand. Ideas of grandeur are crushed and the road east is hard. To get there, these men must ultimately sell their swords and become friends with thieves, dwarves, soldiers, and mercenaries well past their prime. They battle a band of ruthless slavers, slip past assassins, and experience the deadly consequences of black magic.
Will Erik ever be able to return to the simple life? Will he unwittingly become famous, become rich, become a hero? Or, will he even survive?

I would enjoy and appreciate the opportunity to have you review my book. Please let me know what format you would prefer. I can send both paperback and ebook format.
Thank you
Chris Patterson
