Sequel coming soon!
I’m more than happy to say that my new book is finally finished! The projected release date is June 15, 2024, on Amazon. Special thanks need to go to my relentless editor who shaped the concept into a novel that brings the characters fully to life.
I am proud of the various positive reviews that I was able to obtain:
Booklife: I submitted last August for a competition, and you will see, the review is mixed, and the writing is criticized. There was a word limit, forcing me to chop some content off, which probably didn’t help. However, I took the feedback to heart and spent the next few months on improving the fluidity of the writing, and I submitted again for another review which may have been done by a different reviewer. As you will also see, this second review is quite positive.

Kirkus: This is the oldest and most established reviewing agency; even famous authors submit for their review. I am glad I had improved the book based on the initial Booklife review; it paid off:

Reader’s Favorite: They allow requesting 1-5 reviews; I requested 3 and all 3 were positive. One gave me a “4”, and two a “5” which is the high end of their scale. I seem to be unable to publish those reviews before the book is available on Amazon, so I copied and pasted for you the one I liked the best:
Reviewed by Laura R. Brush for Readers’ Favorite
Set in a distant and advanced future millennia away, an astute Earth scientist finds himself captivated by the intellect of a counterpart from an extraterrestrial civilization. Life Undiminished by L. Dieudonné Lemmert introduces two individuals who hail from starkly contrasting planets—a fact that's not just metaphorical. Despite being entwined in an intergalactic narrative rife with clandestine affairs and enigmatic tension, their saga has the potential to irrevocably alter the cosmos in a good way. The Earth scientist stands as an authority in scientific endeavors, a virtuoso with a particular mastery in all things technical. His expertise is so renowned that it commands the respect and fascination of his alien peers. As they navigate the labyrinth of universal enigmas, they must concurrently confront the complexities of their burgeoning feelings for each other. This odyssey is a sophisticated drama set against the backdrop of an interplanetary pandemic, promising to ensnare its audience from the outset to its conclusion.
L. Dieudonné Lemmert’s skill shines through as the author shapes the main characters, both alien and human. Each character is meticulously crafted, brimming with vivid ambitions and complex temperaments that fuel their every move. The reader can imagine a universe, eons from now, where an array of interstellar species engages in dialogue and collaborate across galaxies for the betterment of humans and extraterrestrials alike. Lemmert’s characters untangle cosmic conundrums and tackle adverse problems of romance and science. These challenges leap off the pages of the story. I found myself captivated by Life Undiminished and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone drawn to envisioning an enigmatic future a millennium ahead. A rich tapestry of possibilities awaits those who enjoy speculating on marvels the future may hold.
I wish to thank you for your encouragement and support. For those of you who can’t wait until Mid June, I have a few ARCs (“Advanced Reader Copies”) available on request.
