I currently review ARCs for the Amazon Vine Program, up to four books a month, and that keeps me pretty busy. However, if you would like to submit a book or a galley for reiew, please feel free to e-mail me at julzddm [at] aol [dot] com. Not all inquiries will be answered or accepted, but I will make an attempt to address as many as I can. I am not interested in self-published books. I do not have an e-reader, so hard copies are all I can manage. Reviews will be completely honest based on my opinion of the product and disclosures will be included when necessary. All reviews will also be published on Amazon and Goodreads.
Publishers and Authors, your chance of my acceptance of your book would be greater if you keep in mind my favorite genres:
- Historical Fiction
- Literary Fiction
- Non Fiction (History, Russia, Tudors, WWII, True Crime, Adventure)
- Some Mystery/Suspense
- Some Young Adult
I will not considerthe following books :
- Self Help
- Religious
- Romance
- Fantasy/Sci Fi
- Children’s
My ranking system goes something like this:
- 5 stars – I had so much fun reading this book!
- 4 stars – I really liked this book, but it’s not an all-time favorite
- 3 stars – This book had merit, but there were some aspects I didn’t like
- 2 stars – This book might have had potential if it was totally rewritten
- 1 star – Craptacular. Don’t. Waste. Your. Time.

Hello
I found you on Goodreads, then on Amazon. I’d love for you to include my book, “Rasputin and The Jews: A Reversal of History” in your list of Jewish Historical books. I would be more than willing to send you a copy for review, should you find this of interest. If you look at my Amazon page, you will see the reviews I’ve received so far, as well as a summary of the book. I’ve been honored, as well, to have the book placed in the libraries of YIVO Jewish Institute for Research and The Simon Wiesenthal Museum of Tolerance.
Thank you for your time.

I have just published a Jewish historical novel, The Nine Inheritors: The Extraordinary Odyssey of A Family and Their Ancient Torah Scroll. The Nine Inheritors chronicles the extraordinary odyssey a a priceless Torah from its birth in Jerusalem in 1790 to a humble Lithuanian shtetl: across the ocean to New York City: from New York City to the xenophobic South of the early twentieth century: from the top secret Manhattan Project at Los Alamos in the 1940s to the burgeoning Silicon Valley of the 1980s: from the struggling Palestinian State of the 21st century to the colorful Jewish community in Mexico City—as the nine inheritors, inextricably linked to their Torah, struggle to fulfill their obligation to preserve their precious family legacy in the face of shocking events. This sweeping narrative pulls the reader from inheritor to inheritor, and does not slow its pace until the revelations at the end. The Nine Inheritors is an excursion into a linked set of lives that you will not want to miss or soon forget. Would you be interested in reviewing it?

Hello Julie. I’m enjoying browsing through your site. I believe you spoke with my friend Dale (from the train
). I would be honored to send you some information regarding my novel.
Best,
