When I changed the title of my prequel from Hoaxes Roswell to The Roswell Quest, Amazon Customer Support Specialists (3 different ones) assured me I could keep my 28 very wonderful reviews with the new title.
Well, that didn’t happen. Even though I was told repeatedly I could keep them, I was finally forced to publish The Roswell Quest as a NEW book and because of that, lost my reviews. All I did was change the title. I changed nothing in the story.
I NEED YOUR HELP. If you wrote a review for me, I have provided it below. Please, please, please find your review and repost it to the new book so I can keep it. You can go right to the review location on my Amazon page for The Roswell Quest by by clicking HERE, where it will be easy to post your review again. Reviews are so important to the success of a novel.
THANK YOU!!!

I loved this book. I could not put it down and I had so much else to do. I especially loved his description of an adolescent boy acknowledging how his feelings were shifting as he was coming into puberty. I would like to see it made into a movie! Thank You! By the way I am 69 years old and will be 70 in Feb. 2022. Good for all ages.
MIKALA—– 5 STARS Great Story! Fun Read! Great Setting!, Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2021
While I am well outside the demographic age target for this title, I had to read it since I grew up in the town it was set in. Granted my high school misadventures in Lake Oswego OR didn’t start until 83 it was kind of a nostalgia trip since i had a frame of reference (actual knowledge in most of them) for almost all of the locations described in the story.
It is well written and quite enjoyable read, though I might be a little biased , I mean UFO’s and LO? of course I loved it. I definitely identified with the characters. Mel is great!!
If you are a fan or your child is a fan of UFO’s, then it is definitely something that should be on the reading list. And if you are from Lake Oswego, OR then it should be required 🙂 Hope the author follows on with a sequel.

The puzzle and mystery that surround Roswell, New Mexico, remain, and DJ Schneider’s tale of the summertime adventures of Frankie, Mel, and Beanie, three adolescent friends (“One for all, and all for one”) bring that UFO incident to the forefront once again. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I gave a copy to our thirteen-year-old grandson, and I’m looking forward to the sequel. Please, Mr. Schneider!!

Having grown up in Oswego (now Lake Oswego), it was a lot of fun to read this book! Also being a believer in Area 51 and the fascinating thought of spaceships visiting us, it seemed like a perfect fit for some enjoyable reading. And it was! Am excited to read book 2. Hope it comes out soon!

BRAD T.—– 5 STARS A good read for both adults and teenagers, Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2021
A fun book to read. I was a teenager myself in the 1960’s, and the references made regarding the cars, music, and technology of that era were very entertaining. I enjoyed the camaraderie shared by the three teenagers, Mel, Frankie, and Beanie. A good read for adults and teenagers alike. It’s full of surprises, history and nostalgia.

LEZLIE—– 5 STARS Fun and Engaging, Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2018
Hoaxes was an engaging and fun read. This is a story about three friends who inadvertently stir up trouble when they fake a UFO landing. Unbeknownst to them one of their parents is deeply involved in the Roswell incident. The government, police, elderly neighbors and a new high school teacher all seem determined to hide the truth.
You won’t be disappointed with this summer read.

Mr. MIB—– 5 STARS Wonderful Read – I Want More! (But there are deeper truths here), Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2019
Recently while attending the McMinnville, OR UFO Festival, the author approached me and gave me a copy of his novel – HOAXES ROSWELL.
First, I will admit to being a serious UFO Researcher. However, I am still a romantic at heart. I love an adventurous novel, and one about young people navigating the powerful emotions of the teenage years. Add in nostalgia for a better, easier time, and I was hooked.
Second, I enjoyed the way the author wove hoaxed events with reality. I know it’s rated as a YA, but I’m young at heart.
Third, the novel took some very important themes and delivered them in a story-line where I want more. When I hear the word “Roswell” I think of an ongoing 30 plus year investigation with around 600 witnesses who each have a piece of the puzzle. Spoiler Alert: It wasn’t a crashed Weather Balloon next to a Parachute Dummy. DJ Schneider is doing something important – capturing some of the very REAL truths about Roswell and delivering them in an entertaining novel.
Without any giveaways HOAXES describes very well just how far the authorities will go to keep the reality of Contact a secret from the public. That cover-up is still going on, but that is another story. (Amazon censored my first review; it appears the Secret-Keepers don’t like evidence of their Cover-Up!)
So for me, HOAXES ROSWELL was great fun, but it contains important revelations. Roswell remains the mother-lode UFO event in the USA. Those who scoff at this idea either don’t know, or don’t want us to know the Truth.
DJ Schneider, more, please sir! -James E Clarkson, the UFO Detective

I’m not much of a reader but once I started this book I couldn’t set it down. It is well written, catches the attention of the reader, and relates to me! Being born and raised in the PNW it’s amazing to imagine the places/landmarks because I’ve been there myself! I highly recommend this book for all ages!
PORTLAND NIGHT OWLS—– 5 STARS Wonderful YA novel with sci-fi elements and a movie feel, Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2018
I loved this book, plain and simple. The plot revolves around aliens which I love and had a great feel to it with the kids interacting in an honest believable way. As a kid growing up with “Stand By Me”, “Goonies”, “Monster Squad” and other films in that genre it was nice to get that feeling from a book. It’s well written and has some good twists to the story. I am awaiting a sequel and will be looking forward to future releases by Schneider.

Ok. Wow!!! Such a fun read! I lost half of one day off because I could NOT stop reading! Now I can’t wait for the next installment. The characters are well developed, the story has surprises along the way, there’s action, romance, fear, laughter……so excellent. I highly recommend this to anyone who’s in need of an escape from the daily doldrums!!! Thanks, Mr. Schneider, you rock!!!
BRYAN—– 5 STARS Fun Read, Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2020
Hoaxes is about a group of teenagers (Frankie, Beanie, and Mel) that create a fake UFO. That is only the beginning of things however, because one of the teens knows more than they want to admit. This information is the cause of problems that ensue. The book feels geared toward younger readers, but is fun for any age. Highly recommended.
TRISTAN —– 5 STARS Can’t wait for what’s next!, Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2021
Thoroughly enjoyable novel! The characters have great personalities that really shine throughout the whole read. Being from the area myself, I was able to visualize each part of the setting with the descriptive layout. Mr. Schneider’s style of writing keeps you engaged, and wondering what’s next! You can also tell a good amount of research was added in, that is accurate from what we know about the actual Roswell crash site. Can’t wait for the next one!
