Jeff Bailey Review's Nellie Neeman's Thriller: Resurection

 
My, my, my, but Resurrection by Nellie Neeman carries on beautifully where Spree left off, but with better thrills, more story twists, and gut-wrenching action. Jon Steadman is back, caught having to stop another international conspiracy, save the world, and catch the bad guys. And it all stemmed from such an innocuous assignment. Excellent. The setting, all over the world. The people behind the conspiracy, invisible. The conspiracy itself, right out in full view of the adoring public.
I like the international flavor of the various settings. It would seem to me that the thoroughness with which Neeman writes about these places, she must have lived in most. Either that or she has a crack story research team. The story itself has that same international flavor. It just seems to roll easily from the Americas to England to the near east and to the far east. But all of it threaded so perfectly into a smooth, cohesive, exciting… well, chase. Every word added to the reading experience.
After her first book, Spree, I can visualize the movies that will be made based on these books. As a screenwriter, I found myself picturing the locals as I read. The whole reading experience just flowed so nicely. I already have my copy of her new book, Vengeance. I can’t wait.
Resurrection doesn’t stop twisting and turning, and moving to new dimensions. For me, Resurrection is a five-star read and Nellie Neeman is a five-star story teller.

Jeff Bailey Review's Chris Smith's Steve Savage Bounty Hunter

 

I’ve been a fan of old west shoot-em-ups for 65 years, from The Lone Ranger and Hop-a-long Cassidy on the radio and to Bonanza on TV. But nothing can beat the feel of the book in my hands, the smell of the pages, and the thunder of hooves in the dark. I loved Steve Save: Bounty Hunter. I would have read another 500 pages had they been there. Guess I’ll just have to buy and read the rest of the Steve Savage series. I highly recommend Steve Savage: Bounty Hunter as a wonderful story with a twisty ending in the tradition of the classic western. Five stars to Chris Smith and to Steve Savage Bounty Hunter. JAB, author of the conspiracy thriller Not On MY Watch.

Featured Author W.D. Kilpack

 

I recently got to spend some time with author, screenwriter and producer W.D. Kilpack. W. D. posted the interview online and to several websites. I enjoyed meeting W.D. and the interview. I'm surprised that he had tome to post the review as he is an active author of novels, TV screenwriter, producer, and partner in a movie production company. I consider him to be one of the new breed of fast rising Influencers in the publishing, television, and movie industries. He's also a really nice person to network with. I would recommend every serious author and screenwriter in my network to connect, friend and follow Bill on his several media services. Here is the text of the Kilpack interview and a short introduction to W.D. Kilpack. Enjoy the read.

Jeff Bailey's Review of B. A. Bellec's Pulse

 

I just finished Pulse, by B. A. Bellec, a Sci-Fi conspiracy thriller wrapped in a horror story wrapped in an enigma. Wonderful. A real ‘David and Goliath’ story about a small band of eco-vigilantes working to bring down a small part of a giant, above-the-law, profit-above-all corporation, The Pulse Corporation. Just like in Star Wars, the band is planning an attack that can’t possibly win, can’t possibly leave a mark. They do it anyway. I cheered. What could go wrong??? And we’re off. But things go so terribly wrong. I like reading books that are a creative mark off the traditional. Pulse was just that. The format was almost a mashup between a novel and a screenplay. It added to the overall feel and emotion of the book. I can’t give it a higher recommendation. Five stars for Bellec and for his creation, Pulse. Jeff Bailey, author of the conspiracy thriller Not On My Watch.

Jeff Bailey Reviews Dan McDowell's Pool Man

 


Today is a fun day. Not only do I have the pleasure of posting a review of Dan McDowell's horror novel Pool Man, but I have the added pleasure of posting the back cover of the book. Look close, Dan quoted a line from my review as a citation on the back cover. This is a big first for me.
I had the pleasure to be a beta-reader on Pool Man and enjoyed the book immensely. Pool Man is a ‘Twilight Zone’ quality horror story with a twist at the end that absolutely surprised me, and that isn’t an easy thing to do. Well done, Dan. Yes, Pool Man was an intricate horror story, but I’m a conspiracy thriller writer. I do love a good conspiracy thriller. And Dan snuck the ‘bomb’ of a conspiracy thriller into Pool Man, and I didn’t realize it until the last few pages. Thinking back over the story, Dan introduced all the innuendos and clues to the conspiracy so cleverly that I when I finished the book, I was slapping my cheeks that I didn’t pick up the threads and clues until the end. Super well done, Dan, five stars for a sleeper of a conspiracy thriller in horror story form.

Jeff Bailey Reviews Jennifer Lao's Beautiful Hero


An absolute revelation and a ‘social issues’ must read for everyone. I found Beautiful Hero to be a truly an inspiring story of how Jennifer Lau, her 5 siblings, and her parents survived the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia. The memoir highlights just how brutal and destructive a society based on greed, anger, hate and bullying can be. Jennifer quantified it for all of us when said, ‘…fifteen people out of my family of forty-six: a thirty-two percent casualty rate ….of us who marched into the countryside during the forced evacuation didn’t make It out alive.’ I have never understood the anger/hate mentality that seems to live by the call-to-action, ‘I must find someone to hate.’ Thank you for your beautiful book that I hope sparks a bit of a return to servility and tolerance for our society.

Jeff Bailey's Review of Tim Schueler's 22 Dutch Road

 

        22 Dutch Road by T.C. Schueler was absolutely top shelf. The hero, Billy Buchanan, has to go back to his home town to help with his late father’s estate at 22 Dutch Road and to receive a small interim check. Billy and his mom need to the check to stave off the financial wolves. When he arrives at the estate, he is surprised by the ring of eight-foot carved stone statues of warriors ringing the manor house just inside the property line. That’s about the only normal part of 22 Dutch Road. Everything that followed was … well, was … bordering on the bazaar, starting with having the statues seeming to turn to follow him with their gaze.

I especially liked that Schueler took his time telling, or rather showing the story in words as though he was describing a movie. His presentation was very in depth. He told of the characters mental states, feelings, interactions, and the effects they had on each other. The extra insights definitely added to the story line. I mean, he took several pages to describe a simple hand of high-stakes poker that played to the story. Several pages - and every word was captivating and important to later scenes.

The ending was what made it all. Several tiers if cliff-hanger upon cliff-hanger. Even after the credits rolled (as it were) closure was brought to some of the plot elements and to the surviving characters.

I have just three words for T.C. Schueler: Unique, Unique, Unique. A great mix of light horror and sci-fi. I am now a big fan and can’t wait for his next book.
