[Steve Anderson]

Hi all, and especially readers in the UK,

Just wanted to pass the word that The Losing Role is now available in the UK Kindle store and for only £2.25:

As are my novels False Refuge and Besserwisser: A Novel.

Wondering if it's for you? Be sure to see the reviews in the US Kindle store, linked in my signature below.

I hope you'll give them all a shot.

Thanks, cheers, and happy reading,
Steve

In another recent interview, I talk about self-publishing and putting my main characters through hell:

No wonder they hate me.

Also, as mentioned in another thread, The Losing Role is now on Simon Royale's list of indie authors to read. You can check out all the novels here:

Hi again,

I wanted to pass along a nice new review of The Losing Role from Man of la Book. Reviewer/blogger Zohar Laor writes:

"This is a well-researched and fascinating book ... with a refreshing twist; it is told from the view point of a German soldier -- and a likable one at that."

The Man has also asked me to take part in a giveaway -- enter to win The Losing Role at his site between now and Jan 4. There will be three winners total.

Thanks!

Happy reading,
Steve

There's a new review of The Losing Role in the Historical Novel Review, and it includes a real-life historical connection. Reviewer Gregory Graham's father experienced firsthand some of the novel's horrid events as an infantryman in WWII's Battle of the Bulge.

Graham also recommends the novel. He gives a few good reasons why, most touching on the depiction of war as tragedy. But, my favorite: "Finally, the book is fun."

You can find the review here: http://historicalnovelreview.blogspo...-anderson.html

Thanks and happy reading,
Steve

It's been a good week for The Losing Role.

The New Podler Review of Books gave the historical espionage thriller its Independent Novel Award Best of 2010. My favorite line from the write-up: "Enough dramatic tension to saw a Panzer in half."

Over at Stimulated Outlet Book Reviews, Alice Yeh recommends the book and gives a well-written review that really gets to the heart of the story. "The Losing Role succeeds in capturing and maintaining a reader's attention; the constant, underlying tension practically demands it," writes Yeh.

Happy reading,
Steve

"I'm into antiheroes." This week I did an interview about The Losing Role for Stimulated Outlet Book Reviews.

I hope you'll check it out. Thanks!
