Thanks a ton to Brett J. Talley for his generous review of THE TRAITEUR'S RING. See the entire review on his blog.
The Traiteur’s Ring is a truly unique story in a genre that so seldom produces uniqueness. I recommend it highly...... if you are the type of reader who wants characters that are complex and developed, with back stories and real lives beyond the glimpses we see in the pages, then Wilson has crafted the perfect book for you.
Dave Gammon reviewed THE TRAITEUR'S RING for Horrornews.com
Wilson combines a very original concept of the war on terrorism with a paranormal twist. One does not have to be a war enthusiast or history buff to be moved to chilling lengths. If ever the saying 'do not judge a book by its cover' reigned supreme this would be the case. In a time when retro remakes are a thing of the ordinary The Traiteur’s Ring is alarmingly refreshing and universally moving.

Thanks to author Benjamin Kane Etheridge for his kind review of "The Traiteur's Ring"
5 out of 5 stars: A solid supernatural thriller!
This is one damn unique blend of fantasy, horror and military fiction. Even in its moments of heavy contemplation, there are enthralling questions buzzing in the characters' minds about their relationships, their past, and their fates that will have you wondering how the story will proceed. Mr. Wilson is thorough in his characterization. He leaves no doubt for any of the motivations compelling the story's players forward, and it cannot be overlooked that he introduces a Cajun brand of fantasy that is both intriguing and frightening in its scope for healing and destruction..... You have to read this one to feel its force. If you want an emotionally charged action thriller in your modern fantasy, you've got one. Right here.
Ash Arceneaux from the horror book review site SwampDweller gave Jeff's book a great review. Here's an excerpt:
.... It’s a story that reminds me of old-school King and Koontz, you know, that classic supernatural thriller style that is character driven, doesn’t rely on gore or shock value, and is just a plain, ole’ engrossing story with a straightforward plot—save the innocent, defend the helpless. The story is fairly unique, and the characters are all well-developed and likeable..... Wilson has a great command of style and technique. He writes with an honesty and simplicity that carries the reader into Ben’s life. The reader actually cares about what happens to Ben and Christy and Reed.
The Traiteur’s Ring is a great read.
Thanks to Ash and her staff.
1: What is the most productive time of the day for you to write?
I am most productive in the morning. I try and write from mid morning to early afternoon. Often times schedules don’t allow your ideal and I have found that early afternoon is good for me as well. I am useless at night, except for the rare night where an important idea sneaks into my dreams and wakes me. Then I can work a short time to get the idea going. When is not really important—everyone is different. The frequency is way more important. A writer needs to write as close to every day as possible, even if for only a short period of time.
2: Do you start your projects writing with paper and pen or is it all on the computer?
My projects evolve in my head and once they start to gel I sit at the computer and get started. I have no idea if other writer’s are like this, but I almost never know how my stories or books will end...

from William H. McDonald Jr. - lead reviewer, author, and founder of the MWSA
Author Jeffrey Wilson mixes two not normally related genres together in a fast moving novel called "The Traiteur's Ring". The author weaves jungle warfare in with a supernatural and mystical element that creates a whole new kind of reading experience for readers. The key here is that he successfully pulls it off. The author carries the reader along on one great adventure story. The characters are fleshed out well so we have a good idea who the hero and the bad guys are. More importantly - we are allowed to get inside their heads and find ourselves following them along in the story as if we were a part of the action ourselves.
There are no other stories like this out there-this is totally an original idea. It is both creative and explosive. It will provide readers of war and adventure genre with more then enough action while still giving us an inside look at all those involved. I enjoyed the book. I feel that most readers will have a difficult time walking away from this once they begin to read it. You will find yourself actually wondering where this story will take you next. There is mysterious elements not normally found in books dealing with warfare.
An entertaining book for those traveling on an airplane, through airports, or on vacation - just download it and take it along with you. I love this new way to read books - it allows me to take many books along on my journeys. My recommendation is to take this one with you and add it to your collection. It will be money well spent.
