Hi everyone,

This is my first post. Thank you for checking it out. I'm a new author and I've just started the process of updating my bio/books, so bear with me as I get things organized. My first novel, Lancet book, will be released on September 4, 2023. It's available for pre-order on Amazon as an e-book right now, but it'll also be available as a paperback as well from all major distributors.

I'm a self-published, regular guy. I tried the traditional route and have had some success there - my first professional sale was to Julie Czerneda of DAW and my story appeared in Tales from Plexis.

I decided to go my own way in publishing for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, I want to progress as an author; I want people to read my work and enjoy my content. I can't do that if I'm not putting anything out there. Second, I like being able to make decisions about my work and tell stories that are relatable to a lot of different people. My work is focused on people and relationships; it's not overly complicated or filled with bloat that doesn't mean anything to the story arc, the characters or their development.

I hope we can go on this little journey together and I look forward to interacting with my readers and Goodreads in general.

My author website is Don R Montgomery.
