Reviews are Important!

Now that Night of the Fallen is out, I confess that I feel a bit bad for not reviewing every single book that I’ve loved over the years. I have definitely written some reviews, but I would have been more prolific if I had any consideration for how much they are an author’s life-blood!

I was so excited to get my first review just a few days after Night of the Fallen was launched, from an unknown reader (thank you so much, whoever you are!) I jumped for joy, texted three people, and called my mom.

It may seem exciting to have a book published, but it’s really about as exciting as giving a speech in front of strangers in your underwear (I imagine, I’ve never actually done that, nor can my involvement in similar experiences be proven.) You wait with trepidation, hoping that someone will read it. Terrified that someone will read it. Will they like it? Will they hate it and verbally lampoon you?

Well, someone liked it, and liked it enough to say so!

Good reviews aren’t just a salve to an author’s ego, however. Readers go to the reviews to decide if they should purchase a book. Sure, it’s just a few dollars, but they want to know if it’s worth their time! Reviews sell books.

So if you enjoyed a good read, take a few minutes to say so and let others know. Not just my works, but any author who spent years refining his or her craft and pouring their life into a book, to sell it to you for a mere $3.99 on Kindle. I know that I will be more diligent about this myself in the future.

FAQs

Q & A - Some common questions and answers about Night of the Fallen

Where is Night of the Fallen set? Night of the Fallen is set in the fictional town of Lajeunesse. It’s south-west of Baton Rouge and south-east of Lafayette.

Is this a zombie book? There are no zombies in this book. (Yes, I was asked that question. Perhaps because it has the words “Night of”??)

How is this book different? Night of the Fallen is broken into two books. One is set in 1978 and is mainly Detective Henry Manchac’s story, the mystery from his perspective. He’s a detective, so it is a detective story. The second half is Eve’s story in 1991, fifteen years later, and it’s told in her voice.

Why the 70s? I love the seventies and the detective shows and movies from that era (and yes, I remember them...) There is greater room for error and inconveniences in the days before computers and cell-phones.

More than that, sometimes a story just sets itself how it’s meant to be set. 1978 is when the story started, and it’s as simple as that.

Is this a mystery? There is a mystery! Mostly, however, it is a suspense/thriller. This isn’t a “Whodunit”. The “bad guys” may be easy to spot, but the question is what and why?

NIGHT OF THE FALLEN

Eve has been in danger for 15 years—and she doesn’t know why. She is being watched, followed, and haunted. It seems that the past she's trying to leave behind is very much in the present.

To Detective Henry Manchac, this has always been more than just a case. He’s also being haunted; by a promise made to a dead woman.

Everyone is asking the question only she can answer—What happened the night her mother died?

Because history is about to repeat itself, with deadly consequences.
