The Authority of Book Awards
Most authors, either through their own efforts or those of a PR firm, seek validation and publicity for their books. Recognition by a reputable book award can do both. While many award contests are open to small and independent press authors, the landscape is full of both charlatans and champions. As the Chairman of the Eric Hoffer Book Award for the last decade, I’ve helped develop a set a criteria that has maintained consistency and integrity. This criteria should apply to any book award you are considering. In the spirit of transparency, I’ll apply each of the following questions to the Eric Hoffer Book Award as well. ...

The Intrigues of Jennie Lee: A Novel
by Alex Rosenberg

Exceptional storytelling is ever-present in this continuously involving tale of historical fiction. Filled with famous characters such as Lady Astor, Winston Churchill, Lloyd George, Walter Reuther, and more, the novel sweeps readers into a world of hidden agendas, secret betrayals, public posturing, and private assignations that made up British politics in the late 1920s and early 1930s....

The US Review news was brought to you by...
Murder in the Atchafalaya by Jim Riley
 
“Riley does a first-rate job of steeping the reader in the milieu of South Louisiana and Cajun mores. ...puts the heat and humidly on every page. There’s action, suspense, humor, and even a dash of romance in this gumbo of a novel that promises to start a series.”
- RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
The Phantom of Witch’s Tree by Mark Lunde

"If Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, the Coen brothers, Barry Sonnenfeld, and Quentin Tarantino pitched in some ingredients for a dramatic stew, Lunde's humorous paranormal Western­complete with a steampunk-like, magical-realist twist­might be the result."
– RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
Freedom's Last Stand by Clifford Neil Ribner
 
"For both history aficionados and the layman interested in the rights and privileges he may not even know have been taken away... Ribner's knowledge, both about historical and modern politics, is unquestionable and is the basis of the solutions he provides to return the country its freedom."
– The US Review of Books
Genealogy Lesson for the Laity by Cathryn Shea
 
"Each of the selections in this book can land a gut punch as heavy as a brick or flit about tragic events almost playfully. That razor’s edge of difference between ambiguity and clarity breathes immense power... an absolute worthwhile read."
- RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
Future of Buildings, Transportation and Power, The
by Roger Duncan and Michael E. Webber
 
"Offers deeper insight into the previous and current evolution of technology in the building, transportation, and energy sectors. The narrative's beauty is in the condensed but highly informative overviews and accessible prose, making it lively and interesting to lay readers."
