Judge #22 24th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards Review

Sphere Talamh presents with a nice hardcover book design. The storyline is that of time travel and government forces. There is mystery and intrigue and a little love thrown into the mix.
I like the storyline and plot points. It is not necessarily unique. But the time travel helps to move things into a bit of a uniqueness that keeps the reader reading and the pages turning.
The author has a nice voice for the genre. She has a sharp mind and a fast-paced writing style that are both a credit to her score here.
The over-all production quality of the book is well above average. And the technical editing is very good. It is nice to read a book that has been thoroughly edited as I believe this book to be. The writing style makes it a pleasure to read. I hope the author continues to write and that she is proud of this effort. Thank you for sharing your world with us! Best of luck with this project.

Love the Character:

First we need traits, attitudes, and actions the reader's will love, but here's the problem: If Jackie is too perfect, your audience may not believe in the character. A balance between actual caring and whether the audience can believe in the character is a tight rope balance.
   To solve this problem the writer needs to give Jackie some sign of affection that is not perfect. Jackie must have a small minor failing or weakness in her character or behavior to make us believe in her.
   Let's say she is honest, physically attractive, and has a great sense of humor--but she also has a drinking problem. Jackie comes to the rescue when her best friend is arrested for a murder she didn't commit. You like her already. Right.
