about me

Let's see:
husband - check
father of three - check
sales manager - check
marketing guy - check
politician - check
sports aficionado - check
seminary student - once upon a time

I've spent my entire career in IT sales and marketing and love sports, politics, and theology. It's no surprise then that I enjoy writing about those topics. I'm not published...yet.

I'm open to all kinds of comments: good, bad or vaguely insulting. I have thick skin, so don't worry about hurting my feelings. I'm just here to try to get better.

I'll do my best to read and comment, so long as you want me to be honest. I'm not a literary expert, so my comments will be a reflection of my taste as much as it will your writing.

I enjoy swapping reads. It's helpful if you give me direction on what chapter you'd like me to read and what kind of feedback you're looking for.

If you're writing romance, I'm probably not your guy. Jerry Bruckheimer is about as romantic as I get. Happy reading and best wishes as you strive toward the ED.

My email is rschertzer@hotmail.com should any agents or publishers be interested in contacting me.

The Steel Town Secret

Ryan Schertzer

With the privacy of every citizen in the balance, one thing stands between a senator and the oval office - one man's secret.


As congress prepares to consider legislation that would infringe upon the privacy of every US citizen, a senator stands at the precipice of a run for the presidency. And only Jim Ross, a high-powered technology executive, stands in his way.

As Jim's life slowly falls apart in a fog of drunkenness and affairs, he finds himself in a mental facility where no one knows his name. On the outside, Jim has been replaced as CEO of Rosslink and the new CEO sets about the course of championing the pending legislation.

When Ross escapes his captors, he finds himself the target of a worldwide manhunt and must run for his life. But as his pursuers near, it is his past that begins to catch him. As he flees his captors and his demons, only his family can save him...or should he fear them most?

Brilliantly tense and harrowing prologue. Fine pace and characterization. Backed. Ryan The Steel Town Secret view book

Since I started in ch. 18, I won't comment on story arc. I'll limit my comments to grammar and some of the flow in this chapter alone... "the result of thirty-three hours studio time" - "the result of thirty-three hours of studio time" "smoke filled glass booth" - "smoke-filled, glass booth" ... view book

Fun premise and definitely promises a good ride. I'm normally not a YA reader - save the Maximum Ride series - but I like the international setting and quick pace of the book. All in all, a good read! Ryan The Steel Town Secret view book

Thoelogically speaking, I'm going to need to dig a lot further to figure out how I really feel on this one. This kind of has a "Velvet Elvis" feel to it with its choppy style. But just a few more sentences wouldn't hurt. This definitely has the most one sentence paragraphs of any book I've ever seen... view book
