"Carson's Love" is the first installent in a serial drama that will leave you forever changed.
The reviews of Carsons Love are in..."any author who can put you IN the emotions of his characters is a good writer..." and "...I honestly don't believe I've ever read a book with characters so well created. It was actually uncomfortable at times..." and "...The author creates this world that I think will bring hope to so many out there that feel hopeless."
When we become lost inside our daily lives, sometimes fate comes along and shows us what is truly important. Carson’s Love is a story every parent and married couple should read. It is a story of a husband and wife in crisis, and the family caught in between.
The harder Rob Campbell tries to hold his life together, the faster it slips away. His wife and tween daughter are drifting away. His dead-end job saps his precious time and energy. Then, one night Rob gives his little boy Carson a bath and comes face-to-face with a parent’s worst nightmare. His life and family will never be the same.
Rob’s wife, Megan, is a woman letting go. She desperately wants a new life independent from her old roles of wife and mother. Life, on the other hand, has other plans. Megan is about to take an unforgettable journey of self-discovery through the halls of a children’s hospital, a journey which will forever redefine who she is.
Carson's Love is available on Amazon,Barnes & Noble, and Smashswords. Half of all my profits go to Curesearch.org to help find a cure for childhood cancer. The sequel, Carson's Line, is now underway and will be released in 2012.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
I welcome your book submissions. I’m not an agent or a publisher or even a professional critic. I’m a humble fan and fellow author, and that’s how I’ll read your work.
Please send me the synopsis (400 words or less). If I like it, I’ll ask for the first chapter (if it’s not already available online as a sample).
Before you submit, I highly recommend you take a look at the quality of the books I've reviewed thusfar. In a few weeks, I’ll e-mail you and let you know if I’ll review your book and give you an idea when it will run. Interviews are not guaranteed, even if I run the review.
Novels are preferred, but I’ll consider novellas, novelettes and short stories as part of compendiums. Please, don’t submit children’s books, picture books, or any non-fiction. I like general fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, adventure, comedy, historic fiction, and military fiction. Some of my favorite authors are Colleen Mccullough, James Michener, Steven King (and proud to say it!), Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, Stephen R. Donaldson, Tolkien, Orson Scott Card, Sebastian Junger, Tom Clancy, Michael Crichton, and Harry Turtledove.
Your attempts at self-marketing are factored into my decision. I'll look for your Facebook, book/author website, Twitter, etc. to see how hard you're pushing your own product. If I review your book, I will post your links. I will also shamelessly ask for a courtesy Like/Follow for Underground Book Reviews and a link on your book/author website.
