Earl Staggs | 3 comments Today is Sample Sunday on Kevin Tipple's terrific site, Kevin's Corner. Usually, Kevin, one of the top reviewers in the business, features book reviews on his site. On Sample Sunday, however, he lets authors present an excerpt from and talk about one of their works.

Today, I'm pleased to present an excerpt from my Mini Novel RESCUE. Tall Chambers and his crew of professionals were first introduced in my novel JUSTIFIED ACTION. In this excerpt, which is the beginning of Chapter One of RESCUE, Tall and his team are hunkered down in the desert outside Abu Dhabi, waiting for a bus load of terrorists to come along. The terrorists plan to kill a group of civilians on this day. Tall's plan is to make sure that doesn't happen.

C'mon over, get acquainted with Tall Chambers, and leave a comment.

How did you get that feature? I've been leafing through the website, trying to discover how to submit for a review or Sample Sunday, but no luck yet.

Kevintipple Just found this today. Thank you for doing this Earl. Much appreciated.

I remain pretty much closed to review requests at this time. I am still making the occasional exception for authors I have read and enjoyed before, and will make exceptions on a case by case basis for books that directly relate to my review column at Senior News. The main way to be considered for my Senior News column is to be either currently living in Texas or having written a novel where the setting is here in Texas.


My refusal to accept your book for review is not a reflection of you, your talents as an author, or of the book, or your mode of publication. It truly is not about you at all.

“Kevin’s Corner” is not a paid review site. I am just one guy doing the level best that he can. I remain buried with several hundred books going back years. That fact, and the situations with my own worsening health issues and Sandi's terminal cancer, mean that just isn't possible for me to accept still more books beyond what I already have here.

As to "Sample Sunday" it has always been about books I have read and could vouch for. I am contemplating opening it up to books I have not read, but have not made a final decision on that.
