David Gittlin Good question. Fortunately, my life is too boring to suggest any mystery plots.

Beauty Can Be Found Everywhere: Even In A Mass Market Song

The Beatles have produced a motherload of work in the thirteen* albums they released. Within their massive discography, there are bound to be songs that the band members liked or disliked in varying degrees. Lennon and McCartney wrote “It’s Only Love” in 1965. The song is about a difficult relationship that is ultimately worth it because, after all, “It’s Only Love,” and that’s the way it often go

“David Gittlin’s TIME TERMINUS (Expect the Unexpected) offers a clever twist on time travel stories and murder mysteries and adds a sweet and poignant love story to boot.

~Catherine Langrehr for IndieReader”
Catherine Langrehr

“A delightful romp with spaceships, suspense, and assorted aliens.”
Kirkus Book Review

“Cataclysm: End of Worlds continues and expands upon the introductory The Silver Sphere and also ends with the cliff-hanging portent of more satisfyingly compelling action in the next book.

While sci-fi readers who like quick openings to new worlds will be the best audience for this book, it should also be on the reading lists of contemporary fiction and sci-fi students of the novella form, as an example of how to make the most of a very short opportunity to grab reader attention.”
Diane Donovan

“The novella utilizes every word to create a satisfyingly original blend of humor and entertainment in a small but compelling package.

And thank heavens there are more books to come. Those seeking the rare draw of a literary sci-fi novella format as well as busy readers who want to digest an action-packed, unpredictable story in one sitting will find The Silver Sphere a complete delight on many levels.”
