Steve Wilson | 22 comments Hello, Christian Fiction Fans,

I write Christian suspense, in the military/espionage genre. So far, two of my books have been published by a literary press in the northern midwest. They're titled 'Red Sky at Morning' and 'Tempest of Fire'. 'Red Sky at Morning' came out last year, and was nominated for the 2012 Lime Award for Excellence in Fiction. 'Tempest of Fire' was released in May of this year, and both are getting excellent reviews. I'd like to make the books available to readers who can provide more reviews! Please respond if you're interested in military thrillers with decidedly Christian themes.

Beckie | 2 comments I would love to read and review your books. are you e-booking them out or mailing?


message 3: by Steve (new)

Steve Wilson | 22 comments Good morning, Beckie!

Unfortunately, I have a very limited supply of paperbacks, and those are promised to individuals who have already committed to reviews. Would you consider reading a pdf? I know some folks shy away from those, but I can certainly make that available.

Thank you for your prompt reply!

Sincerely,

Steve Wilson

I'm looking forward to reading it. I already checked my email for it, but don't have it yet. I promise to be straightforward and honest since that's the way I live my life. :) Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read and review your book.

Jane | 11 comments Steve,

I just finished your book and posted my review. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to see so deeply into a world I will never truly know.

Sincerely,

Jane


message 15: by Steve (new)

Steve Wilson | 22 comments Thank you, Jane! I enjoyed reading your review, and I certainly appreciate the thoughtfulness you put into it.

Now, for my next question; would you be willing to read the second book in the series, and offer your thoughts?

Let me know. If you'd prefer a little breathing room, and want to wait a while, I understand. It's not my intention to overload your plate with my books alone.

Thanks again!

Steve

Jane | 11 comments Steve,

I'm glad you appreciated my review. I'd love to read your second book. Thank you for the opportunity! Please email me the PDF. I love to read in the evenings after my 9-5 job. I'd love to have your book for this weekend. Thanks Steve.
Jane


message 17: by Steve (new)

Steve Wilson | 22 comments Thanks, Jane! I have a few things to take care of this morning, but I should be able to email the pdf your way by noon or so.

'Tempest of Fire' was nominated yesterday by thechristianmanifesto.com for their 2013 Lime Award for Excellence in Fiction (I know, I already told you that--but I'm still pretty stoked about it). The book is a little longer than 'Red Sky at Morning', by a factor of about 80-90 pages. Still, it's a brisk read.

I hope you enjoy it!

Steve

Susan  Faloon | 35 comments When I saw the title with the words, Christian fiction military author I had a feeling it was you Steve. I am just getting caught up that you are overseas and that the book got the Lime award nomination. So, prayers for your units' safety and congrats on the nomination. :)


message 24: by Steve (new)

Steve Wilson | 22 comments Thanks, Susan. Yes, maybe this will be the year for 'Tempest of Fire'. I certainly hope so. Work continues on book three. I'll keep you posted. Maybe my trip here to Europe will provide inspiration for the fourth.
