"Subprime" by Michael Cole - Set against a backdrop of financial intrigue, Subprime provides the reader with a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the highly charged and unscrupulous world of mortgage lending. Not only must the protagonist navigate his way through the serpentine and sometimes ruthless world of big business, but he must do so amidst treachery and betrayal from a seemingly benign uncle who, consumed with making money, seeks power in much the same way an addict craves drugs. (Action/Mystery)

While we don't have a length limit for reviews, short works best. 3-4 paragraphs is plenty. Something about 300 or 400 words, maybe. If you've not written a review before, you may want to check out a few on our site. We have at least one review for most authors. Click to any book page, then click on comments. Or click here for a few examples. The first is not a good review, but it is an enthusiastic endorsement. And this kind of copy sells books.

There's no required format, but the best reviews seem to begin with a strong, positive statement about the book. If fiction, at some point provide a brief overview of the tale, something of the plot, but never give away the ending. Be sure to include something of the writer's skills, and, if fiction, how well story characters are handled. Wrap with an enthusiastic recommendation. Else give your reasons for not being able to do so.

Obviously error-free copy is best. But we will edit as necessary.

Be sure to include contact information. An email address at least. And a URL, if you like. Feel free to include a snappy slogan related to your site or work, if you have one.
