Rearview by Mike Dellosso

Thursday Review
Rearview by Mike Dellosso
Suspense – Tyndale House 2012

DEATH COMES FOR EVERYONE. But what if you were given seven more hours? Would you go back and relive a previous time in your life? Or would you live seven more hours starting now? The clock is ticking. What will you do with the time you have left?

Rearview by Mike Dellosso is one installment in the now completed 7 Hours project from Tyndale House Publishers. Each novella has been made available for $1.99 in eBook format or you can obtain all 7 in one volume, over 800 pages for $9.99.

In his installment, Rearview, Dellosso offers what his fans have come to expect. The hero, Dan Blakely, is an average guy – an English professor at a small college with a wife, kids, mortgage, and new car payment. And then on one fateful morning his normal world becomes a whirlwind of unexpected and unexplainable events. The clock is ticking backwards on Dan Blakely’s life and what it will finally toll for will catch you totally by surprise. This is classic Mike Dellosso at his nail-biting best.

It’s good to see Tyndale offering authors other avenues for publication. The seven authors make up a veritable who’s who of Christian thriller writers: Rene Gutteridge, Travis Thrasher, Tom Pawlik, Ronie Kendig, James Andrew Wilson, Robin Parish, and of course Mike Dellosso.

Tyndale has done a good marketing job with a first-rate dedicated web site and Facebook page. I only mention this because many publishers no longer offer much in the way of marketing effort to any writers other than their very top sellers. 90 percent of authors are pretty much on their own to make sure the word gets out once they sign that contract.

Now all that is left is for readers to reward such efforts by buying these authors’ works and spreading the word.
