I will get back to you immediately within hours/in a day with a Yes/No response. The chances of my review acceptance are 80% giving preference to the Format and Genre of books. I’m open to scheduling Tour dates throughout the year.

I’m always nice on my reviews, but they’re also honest and subtle. If I’ve lost interest in a book I’ve started to read, I will inform the publicist prior to my date. Although, I’m very selective and only accept of the books match my preferences.

I can schedule my reading according to the dates I agree upon. Due to the number of books that I receive every month, my reading preference and time to complete a book might differ. In general, I’m a fast reader and it takes a week for me to finish with a book.
- Are you going to write about the book anywhere else? GoodReads, Amazon, another blog?
I update my reviews almost immediately on Goodreads, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. I also run promotion on my pages to boost it to a larger audience.

Hello. My name is Frederick Douglass Reynolds. I am a retired LA County Sheriff’s Homicide Sergeant. I was born in Rocky Mount, Virginia, and grew up Detroit, Michigan where I became a petty criminal and was involved in gangs. I joined the US Marine Corps in 1979 to escape the life of crime that I seemed destined for. I finished out my military career in southern California and ultimately became a police officer with the Compton police department, working there from 1985 until 2000 and then transferring to the sheriff’s department where I worked an additional seventeen years until I retired in 2017.
This book is far more than just “cop stories”; it is a looking glass into life in the inner cities of America in ways that had not been thought of before. As a Black man who found myself on both sides of the law, I offer a truly unique perspective to provide transparency to readers, showing the intricacies of how society works in different ways for different situations. In my time as a police officer, I saw everything; truly horrendous stories showing the worst part of humanity, as well as redeeming stories that show the resilience of the human spirit.
Regardless of mistakes I made in life, I believe that I am the perfect example to show how anyone can turn their life around and do some good if they are willing to make that change. No matter what someone’s gender, race, or political views are, any reader will be able to take these life experiences and learn the reality of racism in America through my lenses.
I understand that you are very busy, but I would greatly appreciate it if you could review my book whenever you get around to it. If you are unable to, I completely understand.
Have a great week,
Frederick

Swathi,
I am a 74 year old newbie author. After retiring from the Buffalo Police Department, I spent the next 25 years as a Private Investigator. I have recently retired from the PI work and am now concentrating on being a full time writer. In 2021 I published my first novel, MOTIVE, followed by CITY HALL SECRETS in 2022. Although both books are selling well in Western New York, I need help in getting my novels available to a national platform. That is why I am writing to you. Can you help with a review and possibly an announcement on your Book Blog?
Both books are of the crime fiction/mystery/police procedural genres, which I believe is your primary enjoyment. These are the first two books of a planned six book Coterie Crime series. They all involve the Coterie, a group of life-long friends, most retired officers, and a couple still on the job, who use their ‘old school’ expertise, a touch of technology, and a lot of ingenuity to solve murders. As described by Kirkus Reviews, “Think the Justice League with most of the heroes on Medicare”. Although each of the books will feature a different member of the Coterie, each book can function as a ‘stand-alone’ story.
