Readers’ Favorite 5-Star Silver Seal for Incognito

I received a nice Silver Seal (a 5-Star review) from Readers’ Favorite for Incognito, my Vatican thriller.

I was happy to read that the reviewer felt the darkness in the story. It was an effort I put in not only in dialogue, action but in the way I described scenes, including weather.

I’ve been asked to produce another novel with the same characters. We shall see. I enjoyed writing this story. To be frank, I could’ve continued writing further. The darkness somewhat became an obsession with me but I knew I had to write The End at the right moment.

The book is close to the heart. It is based on personal experiences during my trip to Europe that became materials for the story. If you like snow, this is the book for you.
