The system for submitting a book for review and or award has changed. A form is now available on our web site, it must be filled out completely to be accepted. If you leave items blank it will delay acceptance of your request as that would require the email form being returned to you for completion.

The form can be accessed from our web site, right hand side "Submit Book for Review." All prior methods of requesting a review will no longer be accepted.

The American flag flutters above the nearly cut in two and listing USS Stark (FFG-31). On May 17, 1987, in the Persian Gulf –15 months before the Iran/Iraq War ends – the guided missile frigate is on a routine exercise in international waters.

This year I was egotistic enough to enter two books in the Independent Publisher’s review process.  I submitted both nationally and regionally. At the time I stated that I had no expectations, but along the way I have dreamed about what it could mean. It is time for the results of the competitive process to be posted. Today I looked. I got nothing. I didn’t even get an honorable mention. Despite my cavalier attitude, I was and am disappointed.
