What my readers say
Johnathan from Hawaii: Records wrote an amazing story! What an adventure that keeps your heart chasing for the next; suspenseful and very entertaining in every page! His humor and imagination will also arouse your senses. His profile definitely qualifies him to pull out the authenticity of a type of "James Bond" series and the way he exposes human trafficking and the evil in the world hidden in global elitists is thrilling! No doubt, it will have your hair standing without being able to put the book down! No chapter was a dull chapter. The flow is consistent. I thought he described the African issues (Nigerian) pretty well in their cultural contexts. My initial interest in reading the book was based on this perspective as I am a White man married to a West African. It was insightful and culturally sensitive as I perceived. He says it as it is! It's true there are some evil people in the world and most people don't have any clue how deep it can go. I like how he described the two boys and the adventures from Texas "Rangers" to kids taking down their killers, especially the house break in as it was the best scene. I'm interested to see which parts of the book were inspired by real life or if it was pure imagination. This book definitely should be a movie!! You don't usually get to read an action spy book by someone who assisted the CIA and has the leadership that he clearly shows! I invite you to join in on the ride of what will push you over your seat and have you awake til the end.
Andrea from Colorado: Very entertaining, easy read for the first half of the novel. Then it became an intense page turner. that I could hardly stand to put down. Can’t wait for the sequel to see what the Calloway clan has been up to. 5.0 out of 5 stars Easy read good plot and well told. I found it became a page turner as the story progressed. Rus used his broad life experiences to add color and authenticity to the story. Looking forward to additional books from Rus! 5.0 out of 5 stars A fun spy novel read. Russ did a great job weaving this story together. He kept my interest throughout and I loved how he told the underlying story of the teen brothers growing up in a difficult environment. Highly recommend this book for action minded readers and love how the characters became my friends.

Behind the Scenes: L. Russell Records' Writing Process
I try to stick to a repeatable schedule for each book I write. First of all, I shoot for a book of about 300 pages and 60,000 to 80,000 words. I always use the same margins, and I use Times New Roman 12 point fonts.Then I generally follow the three-act format. Act 1 is the Main Character (MC) in his home environment, then an event occurs that changes everything. The MC spends Act 2 adapting to the changes, then Act 3 is the final resolution of the initial prooblem. Someone once said that there are only two stories; the hero leave on a quest, and the hero comes to town. Many of my stories blend these together. The hero comes to town and takes the town with him on a quest!
Creating Memorable Characters in L. Russell Records' Novels
It’s interesting to me how an author can get really attached to certain characters, in this case, young former Marine Bradley Foster in the Hot Springs books. I like how he responds to crises and opportunities. I like how he watches out for his friends.
Now I realize that I have created my own story template. In each book, there is a troubled hero, his love interest(s), a strong friend, and one or more evildoers which create trouble that my hero has to resolve, diplomatically or kinetically. While this pattern is not unique to my writing, it has served me well to this point.
