The time has come to say goodbye to Red Adept Reviews.
I started Red Adept Reviews on August 14th, 2009.
The blog began as a hobby. (Special thanks to Bufo Calvin, publisher of I Love My Kindle, for suggesting I start a blog.)
If you’re interested in the history, check out this interview where I discuss the blog and my reviews with Simon Royle on The Indie View.
Red Adept Reviews was one of the first blogs to focus on Indie books published to the Kindle. Since then, hundreds of review blogs have discovered the wonderful world of Indies.
Big Al’s Books and Pals is one of my favorites. You can see the latest reviews from tons of bloggers on The Indie View.
(I encourage all review bloggers to post links to their blogs in a comment to this post as I simply couldn’t list them all.)
I would like to thank all of the readers and authors who made this blog possible. Red Adept Reviews owes its success to you.
I would like to thank the Review Staff for providing such great reviews over the past year.
Red Adept Publishing will still be offering Editing Services on our new site: http://RedAdeptPublishing.com
We will also still have the Red Adept Selects, which are books edited by RAP and ”Voted Outstanding in Genre.” Don’t forget to enter the Launch Contest during the month of March.
Sincerely,
Lynn O’Dell

Description (from Amazon.com):
Disgusted with God’s plan for Judgment Day, Satan has quit his job and abandoned Hell in favor of a quiet retirement in Washington, D.C. But life on Earth is tricky for an ex-angel with a short fuse and no impulse control. When a parking attendant mysteriously bursts into flames and a weight-challenged woman somehow ends up in low-Earth orbit, Satan finds that he has attracted the attention of several meddlesome federal agencies. Even worse, there are signs that the governor of Texas has somehow gone ahead and started up the end of the world without him.
The Prince of Darkness heads for the Lone Star State, where he tangles with a megalomaniacal televangelist, joins the Militant Arm of the American Geriatrics Association, and wields the Flaming Shotgun of Divine Justice at a guy whose hobbies include invading churches to denounce ritualized cannibalism. Through it all, one thing is clear: Someone has to put a stop to Judgment Day. Now, having spent millennia trying to wreck the place, the Devil may be the world’s only hope.

Heavy is the head—and the eyelids—of the princess who wears the crown…
In Rosamund’s realm, happiness hinges on a few simple beliefs. For every princess there’s a prince. The King has ultimate power. Stepmothers should never be trusted. And bad things come to those who break with Tradition.…
But when Rosa is pursued by a murderous huntsman and then captured by dwarves, her beliefs go up in smoke. Determined to escape and save her kingdom from imminent invasion, she agrees to become the subject of one of her stepmother’s risky incantations—thus falling into a deep, deep sleep.
When awakened by a touchy-feely stranger, Rosa must choose between Tradition and her future…between a host of eligible princes and a handsome, fair-haired outsider. And learn the difference between being a princess and ruling as a Queen.
