Bought. Read. Reviewed. Posted to Amazon and Goodreads: https://www.amazon.com/review/R10IYZU8QTQG7W Keep up the good work! I suggest joining a Goodreads Reading Round or signing up with Authentic or Bookroar for additional reviews.

No, the 'ancient aliens' were most definitely not human...or even humanoid. The main bunch resembled erect caterpillars.' And in the time the stories are set, they are basically myths to most folks.

Outline. Put the ideas in order. Then write.

People who play with sharp objects tend to get hurt bad. 'Pristine Body' doesn't happen. Injuries that impair strength and agility do happen.

This is something of a theme in my books. I was irked at the static tech level in most fantasy settings. At the same time, I was researching ancient tech, notably Simak's 'The Ancient Engineers.' He made a telling observation: the ancient Romans/Greeks had the knowledge and ability to transform...

Welcome. I dwell in the far northern part of the country (which is currently alternating between rain and snow). As to writing, I used to just latch onto an idea, start writing...and not get anything done. These days - multiple self published books later - I don't begin a story without solid...

Well, after mucking around with it most of the year, I did hit the 'Publish' button for 'Exiles: Pilgrimage' today. But I was making trivial changes to the manuscript right up to that point.

My 'Empire' series is linear - mostly. I use a 'one POV character, one chapter' format. There are four main POV characters whose tales are told in a linear fashion, apart from the odd flashback. However, there are other POV characters, and their chapters are always set in the past...

The simplest way would be for your MCs to hear about this group of twelve, but not have any detailed info about most of them. 'Brandon the Bold' and his companions, or some such. Even if they meet, only one or two of the twelve need to stand out.

My Bargain Booksy promo this year flopped. MyBookCave did good the first two times, but has been so-so this time around. I attribute this to a general slump. Book Barbarian yielded mediocre results. Mostly, I stick with the $10 and under email newsletter sites like Reign of Reads, EReaderIQ...

For whatever reason, several of my last reviewers from Authentic/Bookroar were from Australia, and those reviews took ages to show up elsewhere.

I have ten published books and hope to release two more this year (medical and other stuff depending). 1 - 600-800 words per session is the norm for new works. 2 - I set the first draft aside for a few months while working on another project. 3 - The next step is the rewrite, or perhaps the...
