New Best Selling Fiction & Non-Fiction Book Reviews & Awards

DEL RIO, Texas - Nov. 16, 2015 - PRLog -- “The Mindquest Review of Books,” by Lightword Publishing since 1995, provides free, low cost publicity and reviews for small press and self-published authors who submitted noteworthy fiction and nonfiction books. Self-published authors are often ignored by traditional media review sources. The submitter did not pay for writing or for publishing the review. A small reading fee was paid which did not guarantee  a review.

The following noteworthy books, from many submissions, were chosen for a review:

(1) “The Beijing Duck,” by Thomas de Kooning, (Friesen Press).

(2) “The Corsican Dove,” by Thomas de Kooning, (Friesen Press).

(3) “Killer Whale Blues,” by Mark Conkling, (Sunstone Press).

(4) “The Men Who Made the Yankees,” by W. Nilola-Lisa, (Gyroscope Books).

(8) “Witches Protection Program,” by Michael Phillip Cash, (Red Feather Publishing).

(9) Featured Book: “Southern Winds A’ Changing,” by Elizabeth Carroll Foster, (iUIniverse).

One book in each “Mindquest” issue, will be designated “Featured Book” and receive an additional free review renewal in the next issue, and a mini review in Bernie’s “Synergy Notes” column, a $175.00 value.
