For Position Only

Literature & Fiction

“The first few pages of this fast-paced and thrilling romance are action-packed, and we’re quickly introduced to main character, Craig Keller who is unceremoniously blindsided by his soon-to-be ex-lover. We’re pulled right into the story and the book is hard to put down. The writing is evocative, and the plot is well-crafted. The author is skilled at character development – with every page we get more involved with Craig and begin to even feel sorry for him, especially as he shows his vulnerability mourning the loss of his brother. I love the first-person perspective and the character’s strong voice …” There is good build up and we are not sure where the story is going, which makes it even more intriguing. I love how the romance develops (or redevelops), the ending and the build-up to the end. Everything about this book is polished, the writing, the production, the cover, and the exceptionally well-written blurb on the back.”– Writer’s Digest For Position Only, the sequel to Camera Ready, is an evocative tale of one man’s sin and redemption – woven into the fabric of the advertising business.
