BEFORE
YOU GO.....
Hello. If it's not too much of a bother, I'd like to take up another bit of your time. I sincerely hope you enjoyed the book and that if you did, perhaps you will consider writing a review.
One of the biggest challenges facing independent authors is gaining visibility in a literal ocean of other books. One of the ways our titles make it onto Amazon's lists of recommended books is by having reviews. Otherwise, the only way we can find readers is if they go out of their way to find us. The more reviews a book has, the more chances there are of other people finding it.
You don't have to write a long, critical essay. Even giving a rating along with, "I liked it" is literally enough. Having a brief review is light years ahead of having no reviews at all.
But regardless of what you do, please know that you have my unending gratitude for supporting my art by simply purchasing this book in the first place. You are awesome no matter what.
Thank you.

"Chad Clark's, "A Shade For Every Season" is a wonderfully constructed book of short vignettes that are a blend of suspense, thriller and murder and mayhem. It reminded me of the writing of Edgar Allan Poe and Dan Brown with the short story / short chapter style of writing that makes a fun read for the reader."
"Great book of short stories, Some will have you looking under the bed, and making sure you have locked all the doors and windows. Some will make you smile, while others are just plain scary, there is something for everyone."

The town of Foster has always existed under a shroud of mystery and suspicion, relegated to the depths of local superstition and legend. What happened to the close-knit religious community? Did they all decide at once, to simply leave the town behind? Were they the victims of some kind of foul play, or worse?
Many years later, one man becomes increasingly obsessed with the town of Foster and with the fate of its occupants. What could have happened and who might be responsible? Even he is powerless to stop his slow descent into madness in his pursuit of answers to questions that may well be left buried.
