Here’s the deal

I write books. You read books. That’s a pretty solid foundation for a relationship, don’t you think?

I’m building a team of readers who want early access to my new releases, from the Max Boucher mysteries to the Capital City Crimes (re-releasing later this year), the Solitaire Series, and whatever dark corner my imagination wanders into next. In exchange, all I ask is an honest review when launch day rolls around.

No fluff. No obligation to say nice things. Just your real thoughts.

What you get

  • Free books. Every new release lands in your hands before it hits the shelves. Digital copies, delivered straight to your inbox: no strings, no cost, no catch.*
  • Early access. You’ll be reading while everyone else is still waiting for the pre-order to go live. Bragging rights included.
  • Books from other authors. I work with some talented writers in the thriller, mystery, and suspense space. As a review team member, you’ll get access to their books too: free reads from authors you might not have discovered yet.
  • Launch day bonuses. Share the book link on launch day, encourage your friends to buy direct from the website, spread the word on social media, and earn bonuses for helping make each release a success. The more you participate, the more perks come your way.
  • A seat at the table. Review team members occasionally get a say in cover choices, title options, and other behind-the-scenes decisions. Your opinion matters here.

*Books come as ePub files you can add to your Kindle or other reading device. We never send PDFs or physical copies.

What I’m looking for

You don’t need a blog. You don’t need a massive social media following. You don’t need to be a professional reviewer. Here’s what actually matters:

  • You enjoy thrillers, mysteries, suspense, or dark fiction
  • You can read a book within a couple of weeks of receiving it
  • You’re willing to leave an honest review on Amazon, Goodreads, BookBub, or wherever you buy your books
  • You’re someone who gets excited about sharing great reads with friends

That’s it. No secret handshake required.

How it works

  1. Apply. Fill out the short form. It takes about two minutes.
  2. I’ll be in touch. I review every application personally. If you’re a good fit, you’ll hear from me soon.
  3. Start reading. Once you’re in, your first free book is on its way.

Ready?

Spots are limited. I want to keep this team tight so everyone gets the attention they deserve. If you love dark, twisty stories and want in on the ground floor, don’t wait.
