Distant Saga Trilogy Is On Audible!
My first book is now an audio. It sounds great, the narrator - Nicholas Eblen, did a fantastic job. Especially on the bonus story added - Outer Red -Part One: Off The Given Path.
If you’ve read that ebook, then listening to it will be a treat. The other stories are just as good to listen too as well, Eblen captured the characters and brought them to life.
Have a listen and check it out!

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?
