Hi Jessica,
I love your blog. I am a writer with a book called Latitudes – A Story of Coming Home. Am looking for reviewers. I have paperback and ebook versions available if you are interested. Here is the synopsis:
LATITUDES – A story of one boy overcoming dysfuntion, dislocation and distance…
When Father and Mother, a highflying young American lawyer and his party-hard bride, fall prey to the self-destructive lure of alcohol and sexual liberation, Will and his sisters pay the price in divorce and kidnappings that take them back and forth between the rain forest hideaways of coastal Latin America and the placid suburbs of Long Island. Will identifies with the oppressed workers laboring in his father’s fast food restaurant and longs for American freedom. Father remarries the daughter of a local aristocrat, and Will is sent off to the hothouse world of a New England boarding school.
Swimming in a sea of Fair Isle sweaters and LL Bean boots, Will discovers a core of resilience in himself that allows him to survive, thrive, and ultimately embrace the flawed and varied worlds he inhabits. Will reconnects with Mother, sinking into a New York City world of Irish bars and one night stands he cannot save her from. With a little help from friends, and a high school Shakespeare class taught by the school’s closeted gay athletic trainer, Will begins to see the possibility of finding his true path. Latitudes charts the birth pangs of a quest for self and soul — from a tropical childhood to a coming of age on the road.
Let me know if you would be willing to read and review.
Thanks,

Starting to read some of your writing…Thanks!
Hi Jessica, I saw you on Book Tweeting Service and could not access your “here” to send you a message. I was wondering if you would review my short story. It’s free on Amazon kindle. Thank you! http://www.amazon.com/JACOB-Adventures-Hailey-Series-ebook/dp/B004PLNQPG
So sorry – yes, I will review. Please send me an e-mail – jessanickel@gmail.com, for details! I will happily download!
Jessica:
I saw your bio on the Book Tweeting Service website and was wondering if you might be able to review my latest, “Resistance.” It’s a World War II historical fiction centered around the 1942 assassination of Reinhard Heydrich in Prague, but it’s also a philosophical novel, hopefully in the Dostoyevsky/Camus mold. (I’m plugging it as: “A novel for everyone who prefers ‘The Brothers Karamazov’ to the Sisters Kardashian.”) You can read more on Amazon, and I’ll send a copy if you’re interested.
Best Regards,
Jerry

Hey Jessica,
I was hoping that you could review my new book, “The Art of the Knuckle Sandwich.” This is a personal story about me running away from Michigan via Greyhound bus in hopes of overcoming depression. I made a journal of the entire trip and the lessons that I learned along the way. That journal along with a few others life lessons is what makes up the book. So far I have gotten nothing but positive feedback. I can send you a .pdf or the book as well. Let me know!! Thanks!
