Review: Closer than you think!

Brian W. Smith doesn't dissappoint when it comes to drama. So much so, that I'm inclined to believe when Chubby Checker sings his anthem on "twists," he is referring to a BWS novel. "Close to Home" is no exception. The intensity is immediate, as we join Vera on a ledge, ready to end her own life after taking the lives of two others. When Officer Glass steps in to handle the unexpected situation, the case hits him with more than the academy trained him for. Brian does a fabulous job at capturing the emotions of a suicidal Vera Gordon and a nervous Sgt. Glass. I felt like I was eavesdropping behind one of the beams on the bridge it was so life like. BWS utilizes every word in this short story to draw you in completely to the moments that changes Vera and Sgt. Glass's lives forever. Highly recommended read for all. See why BWS if the undisputed "King of Drama!"
