Paraphrasing Edgar Allan Poe...
In a castle where all the rich guys were hiding out from the plague ravaging the countryside, this guy with a bad case of Ebola showed up at the party. And the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.

Excerpting part of it:
"Aside from garden-variety UFOlogy, it includes lots of themes along the lines of Miguel Serrano and the Landig Group.

To a small degree, SVT17 is a long-overdue poke at Heinlein’s Rocket Ship Galileo. Yes, he was a great writer, but that thing was a turkey. Still, I’ll give him a free pass since that was kid stuff as well as his first attempt; he certainly hit his stride later."

Absolutely go for it, and give it your best shot, but don't quit your day job.
That said, talent is good but luck and connections are better. Sparkly vampires - really???
