Smashwords book reviews by James Anderson

Are You Still Submitting Your Work to a Traditional Publisher? on April 03, 2011

Edward Patterson writes a concise and to the point guide to self-publishing. Wish I had read it before I recently published my first thriller novel. It would have saved me lots of heartache and time. Highly recommended for newbie writers and even established ones who might be considering jumpoing into the world of independent self-publishing. It is the future of book publishing with the ebook revolution. The traditional publishers just don't get it.
Hostile Witness on Nov. 01, 2011

Move over John Grisham! There's a new legal thriller writer on the scene who deserves to hit best seller status Hostile Witness is the first book in the Witness series by Rebecca Forster. It's quite a read and I found it a real page turner. Forster certainly knows her way around a courtroom and this novel gives the reader a fascinating glimpse into the California legal system -- warts and all. Josie Baylor-Bates is a criminal defense lawyer dealing with childhood abandonment issues and haunted by an old case where she got a murderer off who turned around and killed again. She takes the case of a young girl Hannah Sheraton, accused of killing her step-grandfather, a prominent justice on the California Supreme Court. The trial scenes are riveting. Forster aptly captures the cut and thrust of the adversarial system. Her characters are strong and complex, the writing fast-paced with short sentences that captivate the reader and make you keep turning pages. The plot has so many twists and turns that this reader couldn't guess the real killer. If you're new to Forster's novels like me, you are in for a real treat. And this one you can currently pick up for a bargain since it is free. I paid for it quite a while ago, but it was $2.99 well spent. I definitely want to read her others. 5-stars and well deserving of 10 if I could give it. Count me in as a new fan!
I Am Become Death on Feb. 19, 2012

This short story reads like a Dr. Who ripoff, but not as good. Not very worthwhile, though the writer can write. Some nice turns of phrase Needs better editing in places. Should be "led" not "lead.". At least it was free, no real loss except time.
