Hi Becky,

My name is Doug Stebleton I recently had my first novel come out last month out on Amazon on October 27, 2021. It is a new series called The Hollywood Time Travel Series. The first book is titled “It’s A Wonderful Time”. My favorite film is It’s A Wonderful Life and this book is an homage to that film. This year is the 75th Anniversary since the movie came out in 1946.

I read that you like Historical fiction so you might enjoy this book. Most of it takes place in Hollywood in 1946 right after WWII.

The book reached Best Seller status in 6 different categories including #1 on Amazon’s New Hot Releases. The best way to describe the book is “Back to the Future meets Midnight in Paris on the set of It’s a Wonderful Life.” You can find out more on the website about me and my co-writer and watch the book trailer etc. at www.HollywoodTimeTravel.com

If you are interested in reviewing it let me know and I would be happy to send you a soft cover of it. The only thing is I see that you want the page count to be 450 pages or more and I am just under that at 448. If that is a problem I understand but if that page count will work great. My email address is doug@ironmikeent.com

Thanks for considering my book for review.

Doug Stebleton

I love the chunkier books. I have a bad habit of flying through books in one day and am left with a bit of book hangover until I find something else that catches my eye.

Laura, I haven't decided yet which challenges I'll be hosting. If someone else wants a chance to host it, I'm open to that. But if not, I'll probably host it again.
