Blatant Plug
This is the blog post where I try to get you interested enough in My Novel that you tell all your friends, reblog this, and tweet it too. I do this with a simple two pronged attack. First, I dazzle you with Fancy Art Work and a Catchy Slogan all made into one big Buy Link! It looks like this
Catchy huh?
Now for the second prong ( not prawn – different sales strategy completely ) for those few who slipped past the first wave of subtle encouragement. A bunch of strangers telling you who awesome the novel is…
Laurisa Reyes‘s review - 5 of 5 stars
“R.M. Ridley is a writing force to be reckoned with, that is for certain. Tomorrow Wendell is a superbly written blend of horror and noir, reading much like Daschiell Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon only with plenty black magic and gore mixed in for good measure.I found that I couldn’t stop turning the pages, each scene flowed so flawlessly into the next. The descriptions are vivid, the characters completely solid, and the plot engaging”

“Once I started reading, I could not put this book down. The story is fluid and fast-paced, the characters nuanced, everything shown as opposed to told. Jonathan Alvey is a magic-wielding paranormal private investigator, a functioning alcoholic, a magic addict who is constantly fighting down the addiction with other addictions, a good man who is struggling with a past, and hellbent on helping others…I think what I liked best about this was its realism. Yes, yes, I know. Magic ain’t real, kid. But that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m referring to the fact that this world is encumbered with nightmares from our fairy tales, legends, and myths….With characters that are relatable, action that will have you rubbing your own stomach and ribs in sympathy, quirks that make him utterly likable, and an ending that will blow you away, this was one hell of a start to a series.”
So I’m sure if I hopped over and checked, my humble novel would suddenly be in the top one hundred of Amazons Best Sellers, but Lets see if we can’t do a little better than that…

“The plot hooks you from the first chapter and the pace continues to gain momentum t… the action and interesting creatures keep you reading and wondering until the very end. I look forward to finding out more about Jonathan Alvey and his bizarre cases in the second instalment.”
Jamie White rated it 5 of 5 stars
“The story drew me in quickly, as Ridley has built a diverse and interesting world that is full of surprises. He paced the story well and kept me on the edge of my seat as I waited to see how the whole thing would play out. Through it all, Ridley added in little bits of humor and ridiculousness that helped to break the tension a bit while not taking away from the main story and tone. I would definitely recommend this one to fans of paranormal and detective stories.”
Elizabeth rated it 4 of 5 stars
“This was a fun read. I appreciated the description the author gave to the world he created and the characters in it…I was really rooting for Wendell and Jonathan. The mystery keeps you engaged throughout … All in all a very well done blending of fantasy and detective work! I would definitely read another book starring Jonathan solving more magical mysteries.”
