The Legend of the Seahawk received 4 Stars from Red Adept Reviews!  Needles to say, I am very pleased. The reviews from Red Adept are very thorough (in my opinion) and I was both nervous and hopeful upon learning my book would be scrutinized.   These reviews are broken down and addressed in categories (personally I like this style):

• Overall Rating
• Plot/Storyline
• Characters
• Writing style
• Editing

Small sample of the Red Adept Review:

“Characters: 4 1/2 stars

The principal characters were well developed, and it was easy to feel empathy toward them. David Parker was an ambitious young journalist from New York City. Claire Reid was a local woman who served as a volunteer guide at the town’s historic lighthouse. They made a good team as they worked together to solve the mystery of the Seahawk and its captain, Scott Spear.”
