Espionage is a funny thing...

Reworked title of a concept I had long ago, I'm clearing both the physical and mental backlog and at least reserving the title and first episode.

Still working on Specks of Shadows, Flecks of Light, so this one in in queue for a year or two.

Derek Barley had a life so ordinary that one day, he turned full-tilt nobody. Much to his surprise, becoming a definitive nobody not only provided perks, but the role also granted a semi-controllable power. How does one become so common that they turn into something totally unique? Turn the pages to find out.

Note: This 16 chapter story (so far) is part of my backlog which is more transcribing but also a bit of updating / re-writing. Since I'm working primarily on Specks of Shadows Flecks of Light, this one is on the 'end of 2024' target list with Spy Life: Rear View Mirror. I know Vella readers are rare, but when in published e-book & paper, will be sure to announce.

Any thoughts?

Completed transcribing and re-writing Specks of Shadows, Flecks of Light. I had no 'saved file' for the printouts, so I needed to type all the text in. Word count over 48,000 spanning 60 episodes on Vella. Next is the series of editing: grammar, texture, refinements. Going to call this "on target" for end-of-month publishing.

Fiddling around with a character in a game and a.i. art, I was surprised at a rendition that's a good launching point for a story. Gonna put a stake in the ground for this title while considering developing more of the concept. I'll toss the image into the art section for those who would like to see.

Still have Derek Barley, Definitive Nobody and Spy Life: Rear-View Mirror books to work on first, at the very least.

Dear reader,

I'm hoping a common theme is seen throughout the books I've published, though some more prominently displayed than others. Although one intent for me is generally to entertain (myself as well as other like-minded readers) or to inform, the important part, the purpose (or why), is the gospel message itself. Included with this core are other attributes as well:

X (Captain Ruik's Adventure): Prayer, Bible reading, redemption, listening to wisdom.

Sophizo: Based on Proverbs with the entirety of the Bible in mind.

Psycho Author: Sin, conversion, redemption, salvation

Specks of Shadows, Flecks of Light: Spiritual warfare, prayer, afterlife

Definitive Nobody, Derek Barley: Creation, purpose, conversion, faith

Signals At Sea: Design, mercy, miracles, fellowship

As wild or relatable as circumstances get, we should all have our attention on the greater message of what God has to say. Jesus says, " Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away."

Thank you for reading, wishing you the very best and blessings,

Aegelis
