I'd like to tell you about the
Indie 180, a select list of self-pubbed books compiled by blogger Melissa Romo. She applies criteria such as reviews, sales ranks, blogs, tweets, forums and opening pages to identify novels that appear to be "worth reading." Here's the link:

What's shameless about that? My WWII espionage thriller
The Losing Role made the cut (under "historical"). But I hope you'll check out the list to find other novels, too.
Also, My AWOL crime noir novel
False Refuge got a nice review from the
Juniper Grove review blog. The upshot:
"The descriptive details alone make this book a good read but it's balanced out with a great story line as well."
