You may not have seen the Book Review site, WRITE KNIT, but they released this latest review of my novel. And it is something else. They really get the novel with a tremendous understanding of the characters. (They especially loved Darrell and Erin, and Natalia.) They were the first to identify it as a paranormal, historical mystery.
Here’s just a small piece of the review:
“I loved this paranormal mystery by new author Randy Overbeck. True to his main character, the events taught to the class about the Civil Rights Movement and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. are factual, but the places and dates are not per the Author’s note at the beginning of the book. So technically it is a paranormal historical mystery – but whatever box you want to check about this book, be sure to include it on the must read list.”

What a well-deserved review, Randy — congratulations! It's genuinely exciting when a reviewer truly connects with a story on that deeper level, understanding not just the plot but the emotional layers behind every character. The fact that Write Knit was the first to pin down Blood on the Chesapeake as a paranormal historical mystery shows just how thoughtfully crafted your novel is. The blend of Civil Rights history with supernatural elements is such a bold creative choice, and it clearly pays off. As someone who appreciates strong, well-researched writing, I can relate to how rewarding it feels when that effort gets recognized. It actually reminds me of the importance of clear, engaging writing in any context — even students using…
