REVIEWS
This section contains all the information regarding any reviews or publicity about my books that I get. I will post any reviews when they are published. I will post all reviews, regardless of if they are positive or negative.
It's official! I have my first professional review! I am very pleased with the reviewer's comments!
Get one, and the rest will follow I suppose. Here are some more critics' comments (you may have to scroll down or search for my name to find them):

Midwest Book Review
Here are some excerpts from the Amazon.com site:
“The Shadow Chaser is an exciting, original novel about a young man who discovers a power that will transform his life forever. Repeatedly losing consciousness for no apparent reason and waking up disoriented in strange places, he embarks on a journey into realities he never knew existed, and he must figure out the changes in his life to survive. A suspenseful saga of self-discovery and the struggle to adapt to supernatural abilities, forces, and enemies."

“This book is one of the best to come out in a long time. Brings you right into the story and makes you see it. Very well written. If you enjoy fantasy of any type this is the book for you.”
- Shawn A’Neals
“As an avid reader, I've learned that some of the best gems come in small packages. The Shadow Chaser is a really refreshing change from the stock plots/characters so prevalent in fantasy fiction today. Without giving too much of the story away, I found myself fascinated by the author's use of the shapeshifter convention - a convention that's pretty common in fantasy. He seems to have a great grasp of or connection with the animals used in the book - each one is rendered in the most vibrant terms, and the attention to the details of the behavioral traits of each animal being realized within the human shapeshifter makes you wish you could become a shifter yourself (my favorite is the tiger!) The vivid and detailed quality of the writing ensures that the reader becomes completely entranced in the story and in some of the most interesting characters I've experienced in quite a while. All of the elements of great fantasy fiction are here & I highly recommend planning on reading this book in one go (at least the first time) as you'll find yourself totally immersed in Darien's world and you'll wind up somewhat reluctant to put it down when you've finished. I hope that there's more where this came from!”
