Bob Blanton has been an avid reader ever since his mother first took him to a library at age five. He has toyed with writing for years since college but was always too busy to start a novel. The "stone series" developed almost by itself as he was trying to sleep on long flights to Asia and Europe. He managed to write it and two follow-on novels while he was working, but never had the time to polish them. After he retired to the beach in Mexico, the only thing that competes with writing is the sound of the ocean and sunsets over the water. Now that he has published his series, he hopes you enjoy reading them as much as he has had writing them. Check back for other books as he continues to ply his new trade.

I just finished the 4 books in the Delphi series and really enjoyed them. It is a series that I hope continues. Please let me know when the next book is available. I have been reading Sci-fi since 1956 and am pleased that I have found good self published authors. I would be glad to read any drafts you have in the Delphi series if you are looking for reviewers? Thanks and success for your talents, Mike Rhodes

I'm toying with book four in the Stone series, but we'll have to see. Not looking at another series now. Delphi is keeping me busy.

 I finally finished the first draft of the Fourth Stone Novel.  I still need to pick a title:)


Now I need to let it sit for a week before I being the first polishing draft.  Then the Editors get to hack away at it:(

I hope it will be ready before March.

“No, I mean that once you finish your education, you’ll work as a nurse.  You’ll pay taxes that will fund the government; you’ll help the community, and that will pay back your education costs.  If the government doesn’t help you get an education, you won’t be able to get a job and pay taxes.  In the long run, the government comes out ahead.”
