Mark Zubro | 22 comments The first book in my gay science fiction epic, Alien Quest, is now available as an ebook. It will be out in a few weeks as a paperback. I'd add a picture of the cover to this post but I can't figure out how to do that.

Mark Zubro | 22 comments Yeah, that's the book, but how do I add a picture of the cover to this?

Bookwatcher  (bookwatcher) Just add it to GR
Alien Quest
Alien Quest by Mark Zubro

If there is some wrong info just tell me and I correct it for you :)

Edit to add: if you want to, just tell them you are the author. Your actual GR profile will be merged with the Author's profile

Mark Zubro | 22 comments Thanks for the help and thank you for offering to make any corrections. Obviously, you've managed to post the picture of the cover. Thanks again. I'm afraid I'm not very techno savvy.
Sorry, I have no idea what GR is or how to add something to it. I've looked on this page but no where do I see the initials GR together or two words with the first letters G and R.
You suggest I "just tell them you are the author." Once again I apologize who who is "them" and how do I tell them something.

Sorry. I assumed you know this site. Sorry again. Let me explain it better :)
"GR" = goodreads
"Them" = goodreads staff. They can merge profiles, for example a writer here as a user can became one, only one profile.
I add this book as the name I saw in MLR. Mark Zubro. You can became Mark Zubro asking them, goodreads staff, to do it. Only them can do it.

Allen Whitson | 10 comments Allured by the cover... I checked out Alien Quest on Amazon. I read the free peek, which is about 8 short chapters worth. Normally, I read the free or low cost SciFi, of which there is plenty, but after the "peek", I was hooked so I bought it. I realize that the target audience for male/male romance is limited so authors who write it must charge higher prices. That said... I loved it! It was worth every penny. The author's knowledge of the gay world creates a place that feels like home. The characters feel real as if the author himself has met aliens of his own. The Chicago scenes feel real and they are since I looked them up on Google Maps. That adds to the credibility. I also like that sex scenes were alluded to but not explicit. That makes it read more like an adventure and not cheap smut. Thank you Mark! I hope your book is a huge success and you are encouraged to write a sequel.

Mark Zubro | 22 comments Thank you Allen. I'm so glad you enjoyed the book. I've sent the sequel off to my editor. With a lot of luck and hard work, perhaps it will be out next year at this time. I'm hoping.

Allen Whitson | 10 comments You're welcome. I also want to compliment your proofer. It's some of the cleanest text I've seen. It really spoils a read when you have to keep coming to a halt at typos!


message 13: by Mark (new)

Mark Zubro | 22 comments Good to know on the proofing. I shall let the editor know so he can let the proofer know.

Mac Mathis | 9 comments Just dropped by GoodReads looking for info on a sequel and viola (sic) here it is. Something to watch for next year. BTW, kudos on book 1, it was a great read... Mac

Mark Zubro | 22 comments Mac - glad you liked the first one. I'm working away on edits on book two, Alien Home.
