While I penned numerous stories over two decades ago, "Project Dechentreiter" marks my very first published work. Dear reader, if you're interested, just give me a shout, and I'd be thrilled to send you a free copy in EPUB, MOBI, or PDF format. There's absolutely no obligation to leave a review—I promise you won't be hounded for one.

Of course, I'd be genuinely grateful for any private feedback or words of encouragement you'd care to share. It's my hope that we can also become reading buddies and swap thoughts on Goodreads.

Ra's Antiquities Emporium

I'm about 70% through with a new short story. I'm aiming to have it ready for release in October. The story unfolds in a mall and revolves around a peculiar relic found in a store called Ra's Antiquities Emporium. Oddly enough, the store owner vanished mysteriously after the grand opening.

This story may evoke memories of some of Stephen King's works, especially 'Trucks' and 'Mile 81'.

M. said: " "A Distant Earth" marks my second dive into Nick Iuppa's writing, this time with the added collaboration of John Pesqueira, who, judging by their seamless partnership, are likely good friends.

Man, this book is just packed with fun! The character dial "A Distant Earth" marks my second dive into Nick Iuppa's writing, this time with the added collaboration of John Pesqueira, who, judging by their seamless partnership, are likely good friends.

Man, this book is just packed with fun! The character dialogues are so engaging, they practically push the story along effortlessly. Even though it took me ages to finish, it wasn't because I lost interest; life just got in the way, you know? But every time I got back to it, I could jump right back in and couldn't wait to see what happened next. It's definitely a real page-turner, no doubt about it.

The narrative definitely possesses a satirical undertone executed with finesse, adding an extra layer of depth and intelligence to the storytelling. It's not a bleak story at all; instead, it takes us on a lighthearted journey of peace and restoration. You can't help but feel uplifted as a human after putting it down.

While "A Distant Earth" dishes out a plethora of social commentaries, not all of which align with my own views, but I'm not letting that ruin the fun or sway my review in a negative direction. If these commentaries serve to drive the plot forward, then they serve their purpose perfectly in my eyes.

The main narrator telling the events of the story, Will Brennan is this sincere, straight-up senator who can't be bought. It's such a break from all the political cynicism we usually see. I really liked that about him. It's easy to see why the two main alien protagonists chose him as their ambassador.

Faith and Atticus Morrow emerge as standout characters, exuding strength and resilience throughout. Atticus, who I couldn't help but envision as a Ryan Gosling type, injects the story with humor, innocence, and charm, making him a memorable addition to the cast of characters.

"Trench," the primary antagonist, is like a blend of Trump and perhaps Alex John (or the YouTuber Call for an Uprising), but in a caricatured manner. His anti-alien evil plot adds significant depth to the story with a memorable finale.

So, to sum it up, "A Distant Earth" is just awesome. It's got everything: sci-fi, fantasy, some thought-provoking philosophies. From beginning to end, it's just a blast to read. ...more "
