Top ranking On Amazon’s Short Read List
Ok, I know it gets updated hourly....but I was stoked this morning to see Outer Red in the top category! I was #1 till around 8:30am., but I’m still in the top 5 so far. That’s awesome.
Thank you to those that read the story and then ranked it with a review. I’m so glad you enjoyed the first part....working on more, so keep a look out!
I hope this encourages more to do so. 👍

Reflection On First Book
Distant Saga Trilogy: A Short Story Collection
2015 I combined three tales of speculative/science fiction into one book. I called it a trilogy....mainly because it was three stories...but perspectively as three linked tragedies all dealing with human failings.
Having started on my publishing journey from that one, I’ve learned a lot over the process. And while I will always hold this book in my highest achievement, I also feel it was my weakest “first try” in story telling. My wife tells me that they are amazing stories (my biggest fan of course) but to me - looking at them now - I think I could have made them a tad bit more then what they were.
Could I go back and remaster them? I could....though I have already “revised” them to correct certain mistakes overlooked. But that would mean taking a step back. That’s something I don’t want to do. The book is done in my eyes, no need to continually tinker with something that’s published and established.
Those that are reviewing the book (audio and otherwise) will no doubt share some of my feelings on this. And I can’t honestly blame them. But I hope it is rather enjoyable to read nonetheless. The stories are complete and still a fine read for me. So I’m happy with them.
As I’ve stated before in a previous blog, I am in the process of creating a sequel book of sorts to Distant Saga Trilogy. I’ll take what I’ve learned from that one and improve my story telling skills to create a tad longer shorts. I mean, they are short stories, that’s the whole idea of a short story collection. For those of you that have read the book or listened to it....what other suggestions can you offer me about this?

Coming to the end again....
Well, Christmas is on its way... I hope many of you will stay safe and remember to keep your distances when shopping for gifts. I’ve been busy writing stories, or at least tending to the many I need to.
Book 1 of The Mysterious World Of Professor Darkk And Miss Shadow is progressing... slowly. It’s going to be a long book for me to write. I’m hoping those that are fans or have read/listened to the short trilogy that came out will pick up a copy of the completed collection. It had more adventures in it and gives a lead way into the first series of novels.
I’m nearly ready to launch my sci fi drama Your Service Is Required. Two Artificial intelligent computers take over humanity and make us their slaves. I’m hoping for a December release, but we’ll see.
I’ve begun the final part for Outer Red, that will be later in 2021 I’m afraid.
And three sci fi books are in the process as well for 2021. So yeah I’m doing my best to get it going for all you readers out there.
I’m going to launch a title reveal on Twitter Nov. 21 st for book 1 of TWOPAMS, and then a cover reveal Dec. 19th on Twitter, My Facebook page, Instagram and possible on YouTube (if I have time to put it together).
I’m also busy trying to think of recreating my webpage. I want to see if I can streamline it and without so many pages to click on. Give me some feedback on what you would like to see on it. Character interviews? Monthly short stories or works in progress chapter views? Let me know...
In the meantime, it’s back to work for me. Both writing and my current day job.
Talk again later.
