  1. Hi Sara,
    I have just read your blog - I stumbled across it as you liked a review I wrote for Das Parfum on Goodreads. I realise that you are not taking on any more Projects right now, but... this might tempt you. Having read a couple of your Reviews, I think my book might be for you. At least I hope so. Please take a quick peep on Amazon and Goodreads. It is contemporary, a little unusual, slightly dystopian, possibly YA. Don't worry if you can't manage it, though! An avid reader like you will finished it in a couple of hours. Here are the links:

  2. Hi Sara,

    We recently connected on Goodreads, so thanks for that.I'm seeking reviews for my debut book, which is already earning some very gratifying praise, both from Goodreads reviewers and from industry professionals (see below).

    Literature® is a short, snappy, speculative noir with elements of Dystopian. Here's the blurb:

    We don't know exactly when Literature® takes place and we don't know exactly where. All we know is that Philip Marlowe would fit right in.
    We don't get Marlowe though. We get Billy Stringer. And Billy is on nobody's trail.
    He's the prey.
    The day hasn't begun very well for Billy. He just messed up his first big assignment, he's definitely going to be late for work, his girlfriend won't get back to him and, for reasons she has something to do with, he's dressed like a clown.
    Also, he's pretty sure someone is going to kill him today. But then, that's an occupational hazard, when you're a terrorist.
    He's a bookworm too, which wouldn't be a problem–or particularly interesting–except that in Billy's world, fiction is banned. Reading it is what makes him an outlaw.
    Why? Because people need to get to work.
    It's fight or flight time for Billy and he's made his choice. But he has to see Jane, even if it's for the last time–to explain it all to her, before she finds out what he has become. That means staying alive for a little while.
    And the odds are against him.

    Praise for Literature®




    "Wonderfully written...a beautifully rendered story, mixing the cynicism and moral ambiguity of classic noir fiction with startling flashes of humour and disarmingly tender moments."

    E.O.HIGGINS,
    CONVERSATIONS WITH SPIRITS, UNBOUND/PENGUIN

    "A clever interweaving of speculative fiction, dystopian vision and classic noir, what’s most striking about Literature® is the quality of the writing...lean and spare with moments of beauty fizzing through...it is also very funny."
    KATHERINE GRAHAM, THEATRE RE

    “Literature® is a dark and deft commentary on a world rumbling towards illiteracy."
    CHRISTOPHER ALLEN,
    OTHER HOUSEHOLD TOXINS, MATTER PRESS

    “Here we have a classic treatise in the making.”
    GOODREADS

    “This is satire in the grand tradition: Fahrenheit 451 but with better jokes.”
    JOHN PATRICK HIGGINS,
    EVERY DAY I WAKE UP HOPEFUL

    “To put it in its simplest terms, "Literature®" is one of the most entertaining books I've had the pleasure to read, anywhere, at any time.”
    GOODREADS

    “I was enraptured from the start. A beautifully balanced piece of writing. I love his style.”
    SIUN O'CONNOR, A RICH INHERITANCE, RTE


    You can check out the website at www.guillermostitch.com and I can provide high and low res images of the cover on request.
    The Goodreads page is at https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39998016-literature
    I can provide pdf, mobi or epub copies for review. I plan for it to go live on Amazon on the 1st of July, so there won't be an Amazon page until then (apart from preorder on the Kindle during June).
    Thanks in advance for any time you give this query. I very much look forward to hearing from you.


    Best regards

    Guillermo
