"The Cutting Season" by Arthur Rosenfeld Named as Finalist for USA Book Award and Foreword Best Book Award 2007

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 22, 2008 -- "The Cutting Season" (YMAA) is a finalist for the USA Book Award for Bbest Mmystery of 2007 and has also earned a a prestigious nod from Foreword Magazine in the Mystery category for a Best Book 2007.

ForeWord Magazine's Book of the Year Awards were established to bring increased attention to librarians and booksellers of the literary and graphic achievements of independent publishers and their authors. ForeWord is the only review trade journal devoted exclusively to books from independent houses.

"I'm very heartened to see this book empower an understanding of true Asian martial arts. It is my humble hope that people see this book as well as my others as the truest blend of Chinese literary form and American crime fiction, a combination I term 'kung fu noir'", said Rosenfeld.

A page-turning thriller, "The Cutting Season" puts martial arts action and Chinese history into a steamy, South Florida setting.

Walter Anderson, Chairman & CE0 of Parade Magazine, Author of "The Confidence Course" said of the book, "A gripping story...The Cutting Season is far more a page-turning mystery than a martial-arts slam-bang, more James Bond than Bruce Lee. Rosenfeld's medical knowledge and martial-arts expertise reinforce an authority and clarity to the work. Away from the book, I [might dismiss the living spirit...but as I read, I believed her, heard her: that's storytelling!"

Bob Spear, Heartland Reviews said, "This is the first foray into the area of fiction that this superb martial arts publisher has made and it is home run. A medical/martial arts thriller, this story follows a talented brain surgeon's trip down the slippery slope of the dark side. Dr. Xenon Pearl finds himself coming to the defense of those he loves and those he barely knows but feels they need a champion. His weapon of choice is a Chinese martial arts sword, but he is a master of any bladed weapon, including the scalpel. This promises to be the start of a great new series. The author is a highly successful author, a martial arts master and teacher, and a subject matter expert consultant for the pharmaceutical industry. He was the perfect choice to begin a new direction with this fiction genre. We rated his book five hearts."

Arthur Rosenfeld is a prolific writer and a leading authority on the spiritual dimensions of Eastern thinking for a Western world. A martial arts master and philosopher, Rosenfeld contributes to national magazines including Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Parade, has been seen on Fox News and other networks, and heard on numerous national radio programs.
