Lone Star Literary Life Reviews Riverside

“Riverside by Brett Burlison is a well-written mystery thriller that deftly captures the atmosphere of its Austin settings in the early 1990s. Readers who know the Texas capital city will recognize many neighborhoods and establishments not far from the sprawling University of Texas at Austin campus.”

“Burlison manages to make Bobby a sympathetic protagonist, even though the characters here are involved with drugs by their own choice. The winding and increasingly sinister plot holds some exciting scenes. . . .” – Kirkus ReviewsBook People Local Author Night

“A steamy tale and beguiling thriller, with plenty of local color and some provocative twists.” – Kirkus Reviews

Riverside – A Romantic Suspense Novel

sunset-hairWhen I was young and living in Austin, there were so many things that made that time in my life special.

The freedom, the late nights at Kerbey Lane, walking endlessly through Zilker or the Greenbelt, swimming in Barton Springs, Deep Eddy, or Campbell’s Hole, chasing my dog through Shoal Creek, Shiner, and youth.

I have done my best to capture all of that and more in Riverside, my first novel. Riverside is a romantic suspense story about two young lovers chasing the American dream and the lengths to which they will go to protect it.

It’s now available on Amazon in both print and Kindle formats and on iBooks.

I hope you enjoy it.
