Well, not really, but this should tell you all you need to know about me and my writing style.
I'm a huge Marvel (plus Game of Thrones, Star Trek AND Star Wars) fan, which shows since my novel is loaded with pop culture references. If you are a sci-fi fan (I assume that you are, otherwise what are you doing here?) you will enjoy them tremendously. I even went full Deadpool in my first draft and broke the fourth wall multiple times, until my editor told it was distracting and kept taking her out of the moment. Shame. Those fourth-wall breaks were hilarious. Still, I can guarantee a few laugh-out-loud moments. Case in point: The "good" aliens in my novel are a race of pranksters, whose main goal in life is pulling other people's legs (They have four legs, hence the slight change in the idiom). My favorite author is Jim Butcher (The Dresden Files), which is probably how I ended up writing in a first-person POV with the same light-hearted, funny tone as he does. The fact that my MC's name is Jim is purely coincidental though.
I am a university/college level English teacher, and including Canada, I have lived and worked in five different countries. I have met people from all around the world. Plus, my parents are from a different background, and so is my wife. As a result, diversity has become a major theme in my novel. My characters look like the bridge crew from Star Trek. One of my female characters even impersonated Uhura once, albeit posthumously.
Another author who can weave a pretty decent story but can't keep their plotline clean.
Is it Cipher or Cypher? Same character, same page, different spellings.
Tons of little facts that the author gets wrong. Sound in space, how many rounds a gun holds, basic physics of space flight, shockwaves in space...sorry, there's no air, so it's kind of hard to generate a shockwave.
Stars don't twinkle in space. The twinkling we see is caused by the light passing through the atmosphere. Since there's no atmosphere in space...no twinkling.
Each one of these errors causes an itch deep in my brain. The author claims to teach English at the college level but hasn't met a homophone that he got wrong in the book.
One would think that the beta readers or the editor would catch these. But they don't.
