The “Voice Talent”

Published on by drpaulsemLeave a comment

I have been told that I have a great voice for speaking.

“Scattering the Ashes” is Phenomenal!

Published on by drpaulsemLeave a comment

Readers’ Favorite recently reviewed my novel, Scattering the Ashes.

The review was glowing!

Scattering the Ashes earned Readers’ Favorite’s prestigious 5-Star Rating.

The reviewer noted:

The narrative was perfectly paced and incredibly rich with details.

 

Sam’s voice proved to be exactly what the reader needed to immerse themselves in the narrative and feel each part of the story resonate inside their heart.

 

Scattering the Ashes was just as self-reflective as it was entertaining.

 

I enjoyed the descriptions of the places where Sam went, I enjoyed the way the story flowed and I loved the way Sam over thought everything (that was common and human of him!).

 

Scattering the Ashes by Paul Russell Semendinger was phenomenal.
