Hi everyone,
On Friday, I signed a contract with Solstice Publishing for the release of my third novel, Carnage in Singapore.
Many thanks to everyone who has reviewed my work. Your input has been invaluable. Regards, Randall

As a First Place Category award winner, Dangerous Alliance will also receive prizes from PublishDrive, a global distribution platform and Hindenburg Systems, which does audiobook and podcast software. As with the priority submission process opportunity with the Donald Maass Literary Agency, the details will be sent to each of the winners by June 10th.
Chanticleer stated First Place Category award winners were selected for each one of the 16 divisions from an overall field of 275 Semi-Finalist titles. To have both The Kurdish Connection and Dangerous Alliance make it as far as they did is an absolute thrill!

Hope is all with you and your wife. Again, congratulations!!!

Hi Alan. Hope things are settling down for you. Many thanks for the congratulations, too. I found out yesterday that in addition to a Chanticleer book review of Dangerous Alliance plus their promotions, I'll have an opportunity to submit something to the Donald Maass Literary Agency. The wording was: "... priority submission process opportunity." I'm waiting for additional details which are supposed to be emailed from Chanticleer by June 10th. Definitely an exciting time! Best regards, Randy
The opportunities keep coming... Congratulations!!!

Hi everyone,
The 2018 Chanticleer International Book Awards (CIBAs) have been announced. This year, there were fourteen fiction categories and two non-fiction.
The Kurdish Connection and Dangerous Alliance, both workshopped on TNBW, participated in the Global Thrillers genre. They moved from the slush pile, through the long list, the short list, and the semi-finals.
The Kurdish Connection finished its run as a semi-finalist, while Dangerous Alliance went a step further and was one of seven 2018 Global Thriller Book Awards for Lab Lit & High Stakes Thriller Novels First in Category Winners.
I can't thank those enough who provided reviews and guidance to aid my writing journey since I joined the site in 2015.
Needless to say, I'm thrilled!
Regards, Randall

Hi everyone.
I have been looking for a reputable, legitimate peer review site where I can help others with their writing and get much needed input from fellow writers on my work. I am working on a novel that I've been floating around in my mind for about 30 years. Now that I'm retired from "regular employment," I have been building my chops as a freelance writer (gotta pay the bills!) That has reignited my passion for writing; thus, a novel in the works.
I have posted the first chapter of my novel "Lady Silver: Warlock Chronicles, Book I" and will be posting the remainder when I can (gotta get those points!) I look forward to seeing your thoughts on it!
Welcome aboard, Bobbie! TNBW is a great place to be!

Just to let everyone know, I've changed the name of A Cartel's Revenge a bit, adding Bruce and Smith Book 1. I'm in the process of editing the original chapters based on your input. As of sending this out, current chapters 1-3 are revised. I'll be getting to 4-9 as fast as I can before posting any new chapters.

Carnage in Singapore has now been pulled from TNBW as I go through the manuscript making suggested changes. All being well, it'll be submitted to my publisher in early May. In the meantime, the fourth (and perhaps final) novel in the series, Ultimate Escalation, is now underway with three chapters posted so far.
