Readers' Choice Awards

The Murderer
Short Story
"Reading The Murderer felt like entering a maze crafted from Man's psyche"
"I admired how the author captured the complexity of faith and morality, using Man's experiences to explore profound themes without losing sight of the
central mystery. The real action seems to lie in the unraveling of the mystery and the gradual understanding of Man's character and motivations. The intricate character study and thought-provoking themes left me reflecting long after I finished reading."

Overcome: The Story of a Girl
Novel
"Deliciously unpredictable and filled to the brim with delectable drama, Overcome is one of the best novels in its genre. The storyline was intriguing and well-thought-out, and, combined with M. E. Reach’s fun,
humoristic narrative style, was an awesome read, although it could be very triggering at times. There was never a slump or annoying character jabbering about minuscule things as one might usually find in a teen novel; instead, Reach created a realistic plot with life-like characters ensuring a strong connection between the character and the reader. At that age, the immense pressure to fit in can become overwhelming, and so can insecurities. Unfortunately, most times, sex is part of the pressure. Erin was the naive teenage girl with her head firmly stuck in the clouds, only to be hit by reality. Overcome is a memorable novel that I highly recommend. I enjoyed it immensely and cannot wait to read Strive, the next novel in the series."

31 Choices: Speaking
Devotional
"As you read each day’s devotional, you will be drawn into the Word and grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ. These life lessons will help you improve your relationships, be they personal or business. Knowing when to be silent is just as important as what to say when it is time to speak. As a minister with over forty years of experience, I can attest that the author has written a great book for all Christians. I highly recommend this book to all."
