R Cyril West is the award winning author of THE THIN WALL and SOME NEVER FORGET.

The forewords to these novels are penned by Chip Beck, an ex POW/MIA investigator and CIA operative, and Bob Smith, a former United States Senator and presidential candidate. Senator Smith also served as vice-chair of the United States Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affa ...more

Thank you so much for allowing me to read Infamous 1. Sorry it took me so long to read it but I really loved the story. We’re there any similarities to your life? I posted my review on goodreads but if you want I could post it on Amazon as well. Please think of me again if you write a new book. Thanks, Marilyn

Thank you for the kind review :) While the story doesn’t exactly parallel my life, I write what I know about, drawing in personal experiences and observations I’ve made. I will for sure send you a copy of the novel I’m currently working on.

I would love (and be honored) if you would post your review on Amazon, too.

Thank you and have a nice week!

Is the main character in Some Never Forget talking to imaginary people? That's what I started to think halfway through the book. I began to notice that some of the people he was talking to always showed up when no one was around to witness it. But then the last page of the story made me rethink this. Also it seems like Fire Wolf is imaginary!!!

R. Cyril West You’re a perceptive reader. However I can’t answer this question without a spoiler alert :) contact me at rcyrilwest@gmail.com and I will reveal all. …moreYou’re a perceptive reader.

Crazy, I have been banned by Facebook. I write fiction yet apparently topics/themes of my novels have triggered FB admins. I have been unable to post info on my new novel for seven months now. Sad state of affairs.

Weeping for our society,
