Contact the Reviewer
I welcome your comments or feedback concerning this site, errors in text or
links, or on a particular review. Feel free to be constructively critical or
supportively complimentary.
Please use the link below to send me an email
message on any subject covered here. It should be noted that I won't respond
to listserv messages or marketing campaigns. Also, "mysteries" as applied
here should be understood as hard-edged suspense crime thrillers, not
mysteries of the universe, cults, religions, the human soul, romance,
etc. Think Michael Connelly, Stieg Larsson, Harlan Coben.
ADVERTISEMENTS
Authors of books in any genre may advertise their books on this site. Please
note that publicists whose books I review will have their eyes on the site
just to check out its appearance and what was said. You may want to have
your book displayed when they, and readers of mystery, pay a visit.
Query me at the email address below with some idea of what your ad may
contain, your visualization of it, duration, etc. The more you tell me
the more accurate I can be with a price quote--including leaving the design,
size and placement up to me, if you wish. Ads usually appear in the left
column of the Critical Mystery Tour home page, below the menu log but other
placement can be negotiated.
BOOK SUBMISSIONS
Books submitted by authors stand a better chance of review if they are major
mystery award winners (Edgar, Shamus, etc.); authors who have had a prior
book on major best sellers lists; or authors with a well established
following in the genre whose work I should get familiar with.
Authors who have not yet attained that exalted level but want the kind of
feedback and analysis that a review would provide, I offer this service for
a fee of $200 per book. It may be charged by credit card or by check
accompanying submissions. This will not affect the review nor would you want
it to if the cold, honest truth is what you're after. The fee will ensure my
getting to your book.
A strongly negative reading or a book deemed not to belong within the mystery
genre may result in no review on Critical Mystery Tour. The author submits
his or her book with that understanding and the fee is not refundable.
One more wrinkle for Kindle authors:
AUTHOR FEEDBACK
If you're an author whose book I've reviewed, please accept my invitation to
give me your reaction to what I've written about it and, most certaintly,
corrections if I got anything wrong. I'll consider anything you have to say
as instructive!

Yours, for the good read!
