Praise for THE SILVER RING:

"Robert Swartwood's THE SILVER RING is a full-tilt no-holds-barred bobsled of a ride, absolutely engaging and a hundred percent fun. If this one doesn't grab you, it's time to up your Ritalin."

— Joe Schreiber, author of AU REVOIR, CRAZY EUROPEAN CHICK and PERRY'S KILLER PLAYLIST

"In short, sharp chapters, Robert Swartwood's THE SILVER RING launches the reader into a high-flying, fast-paced cosmic adventure in which the fate of the universe rests in the hands of a seventeen-year-old movie clerk. Grounded in the emotional realities of an everyday family, Swartwood infuses his tall tale with the humanity of a young man navigating his way through the emotional minefields of everyday life while trying to be the best big-brother he can be. THE SILVER RING delivers light in the heart of darkness, and simple truths from webs of mystery. Have fun!"

— Gerard Houarner, author of THE OZ SUITE and A BLOOD OF KILLERS

    An Interesting Concept/Read

    The Silver Ring is a nice quick read with an interesting concept. Not going to spoil it...download it and decide for yourself. I myself hope to see more of The Silver Ring universe fleshed out.
