IN THIS LESSON

When paying for a class, most people (myself included) want to know the instructor's bona fides. In writing, one of the best ways is to hear from other authors — usually more prominent ones — who can vouch for their skills.

 With that in mind, here are what some bestsellers, award-winners, and authors of note have said about the pacing of my novels:

 LET THE GUILTY PAY (suspense thriller)

 "... a cleverly plotted, deftly paced page-turner ... Rick Treon dispenses the well-earned twists and reveals with the stiletto precision of a master.”

— USA TODAY BESTSELLER Heather Young, author of The Lost Girls and The Distant Dead

 “I read (Let the Guilty Pay) in one day, something I almost never do. It was expertly paced, the characters distinct, and the twists surprising. … This book will keep you entertained until the last, satisfying page. Crime fiction fans (or really, fans of fast-paced books in general) will love this one! Highly recommend.”

—Heather Chavez, author of No Bad Deed, called 'sensational' by LEE CHILD

  

THE PRICE OF SILENCE (suspense thriller)

 "... this twisty noir will keep you turning pages.”

—USA TODAY BESTSELLER Greta Boris, author of the Seven Deadly Sins series

 "Fast paced and intricate, it delivers surprises in every chapter. This one will keep you guessing into the middle of the night because you just can’t stop turning the pages."

—LEFT COAST CRIME BEST DEBUT MYSTERY WINNER Carl Vonderau, author of Murderablilia

 

 DIVIDED STATES (political/action thriller)

“... an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride!”

—HUGH HOLTON AWARD WINNER Tracey S. Phillips, author of Best Kept Secrets
