"Land's best effort ever, a thriller that had me riveted from start to end. With this book he stands shoulder to shoulder with Child, Connelly, Gardner and Gerritsen." --Strand Magazine

"A mind-blowing tale that takes a flamethrower to our psyches to warm the chill it leaves up our spines. Seething with energy and replete with wondrously staged set pieces, this is thriller writing that defies genre even as it reminds us why we love to read." --NYK Daily

✉ Less is More by Jeff Bond

Today returning author Jeff Bond takes over our blog to tell us about how 'Less is More'.

Dear Durwood (5 April 2020, Jeff Bond, 175 pages), an Action-Adventure Western Romance, book two in the Third Chance Enterprises series, is Jeff's latest release.

"Durwood Oak Jones is an uncompromising man of rough charm and considerable principle ... add the rugged, resourcefulness of a Clint Eastwood lead, as well as a dash of playful Southern-isms, and what readers get is a wholly unique feeling main man ... The story itself is perfectly paced - as swift and sure as Durwood's own pursuit of justice and truth ... the most pleasantly surprising part of DEAR DURWOOD is the author's confident, clear prose. Bond's style is spare, but he paints the settings with sure strokes so that readers will not just see, but feel the place, effortlessly holding it in their minds." ~ IndieReader
