Hi Jeremy,
Thank you for reaching out.
My idea for the medical data that the Spaniard downloaded (from Cabello Medicos lab) was that he would use that as a bargaining chip to gain access to the information held by LaCroix Richter and Dufner Group. But the hand-over of the information in the village didn’t go as planned with Sabanov.
For the Shadow Council I’ve planned to expand on it as much as possible since the idea of an organization as the Shadow Council provides a wealth of opportunities. I envision it as a group of powerful men and women who work behind the scenes for their own agenda. I have all the names and backgrounds of the members and plan to expand on them in the next few books (and in the fourth book, THE VORTEX CONSPIRACY, I will introduce another member of the council, his name is James Rawlins and he’s an oil- and gas-tycoon from US. It’s a fine balance of having the same adversary each time, but with the Shadow Council I can more easily rotate and introduce more villains without it being repetitive.
Thanks for your questions and I wish you a great week,
/Filip

Dear Judith,
I am very grateful for your feedback and I absolutely hear what you say. I've started the search for a native English-speaking editor to assist in improving the language, both for Tabula Rasa and the second part in the series, Genesis. Again, many thanks for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,

Dear Judith, Joy. I hope all is well. I just wanted to let you know that I have been working with two native English/speaking editors and has now revised both (English editions) of Tabula Rasa and Genesis. Again, I want to thank you for taking the time to reach out to me about highlighting the issues that plagued the earlier versions. Going forward, this lesson is for sure learned and for future books, this will (hopefully) not be an issue.
All the best,

I just finished the book and am now glad I reviewed the comment here rather than posting my own, as it reflects exactly what I was thinking. I liked the story line but had a lot of trouble with reading through it. My first thought was actually pretty accurate, as it seemed to me to be a translation to English by a non-English speaker. Sort of like watching one of those old Chinese movies with English translations. Glad to hear you will be getting/have gotten help here.

Get a notebook or use your mobile phone to take notes during the day. Set aside one hour (at least) each day to start connecting the notes you have and go from there.

Set a daily regimen for a word count, follow it always. Turn off your phone, laptop or whatever is distracting you completing your daily word count.

It was from watching a documentary regarding future cities that would contain thousands and thousands of people. From that basic concept, i started spinning a story about a science fiction thriller.
