NOTE: As of May 20, 2026, I am currently not accepting any new requests for reviews.
I am only one person and there have been a lot of requests of late to the point where it may take months to catch up. I appreciate everyone who asks, but I need to give each book my best and I can’t do that if I’m rushed. Please keep checking back and I’ll let you know when we’re open again. Thank you for understanding.
I’d love to review your book, but there are a few things you need to know first:
- I do not do horror. Ever. And please, don’t try to talk me into it. I. Will. Not. Do. It. I have also discovered that I am not comfortable with graphic thrillers or war-based stories. Basically, I’m not comfortable with graphic violence.
- I love mysteries (especially cozies), fantasy, romance, and science fiction, children’s books, and more. If your book falls in one of these categories, contact me.
- That being said, as you can see from the pages, I will do almost any other genre including non-fiction. I bring a wide variety of experience to all books. I have a Master’s in Library Science and have worked for 30 years as an editor for various publishers and private clients.
- On the “About” page, you’ll also find my sparkler and heat level listings. I will (and have) read every heat level, but I will also note in my review whether it is erotic and give a warning to that effect. This is a site for all genres and all ages.
- Send me a note including your name, the title, genre, and blurb via the “contact us” page about your book and I’ll see about getting it scheduled. I will warn you now, I am only one person and get backed up sometimes. But if you (or your publisher) contacted me, I will get to your book as soon as I possibly can.
- Reviews will be posted as time allows, sometimes daily, sometimes less often. I will also post reviews to Amazon, Goodreads, Bookbub, and other sites as possible.
- Note: No, I do not charge for this or promo services.
