Press Release from: Wishing Shelf Independent Book Awards

The Wishing Shelf Independent Book Awards is designed to promote excellence in independent publishing. Every book entered in our Awards is read by over fifteen readers and, consequently, the judging is very in-depth. They look at:
EDITING Is there a flow to the text or is it a scratched record? Is it full of tiny/gigantic errors?
THEME Is the book current/interesting/original/exciting?
STYLE Is it a page-turner? The beginning grips you and the ending knocks you for
six.
COVER AND ILLUSTRATIONS Eye-catching? Age appropriate? Do they add to the
book?

Sharkey, Greg Lewis, Moira Sharkey

All of the runners-up and winners in the 2011 Wishing Shelf Awards were deemed by our panel to be excellent and, subsequently, we thoroughly recommend them.

Tom Sharkey: Great New Five-Star Review

"Sharkey's life story was so incredible that you wish you had been there to experience just some of this boxing history in the making..."


Thanks to the reader who left the great new review of I FOUGHT THEM ALL on Amazon.


"This is a must read for sports fans and for anyone who loves a good story. Sharkey's life story was so incredible that you wish you had been there to experience just some of this boxing history in the making. My choice would be to witness the twenty-five round fight between Sailor Tom Sharkey and Jim Jeffries for the heavyweight championship--the fictional championship fight from the first "Rocky" movie pales in comparison. Or maybe I would want to see the contested fight where lawman Wyatt Earp refereed."

January thank-you!

Thanks to everyone who has bought the book during January - must be people's Christmas money!!
