Specks of Shadows, Flecks of Light phase 1 done!

Completed transcribing and re-writing Specks of Shadows, Flecks of Light. I had no 'saved file' for the printouts, so I needed to type all the text in. Word count over 48,000 spanning 60 episodes on Vella. Next is the series of editing: grammar, texture, refinements. Going to call this "on target" for end-of-month publishing.

Sophizo (Optimiste Edition) published.

After re-reading, considering some of the reviews, and using Grammarly, I've finished the month-long revision to make the book clearer, softer tone, and grammatically correct.

Is this the absolutely final version? I can confidently say, "Yes, until the next version."

Thank you to those who have read and provided thoughts.

Diabolic Shrimp reviewed X (Captain Ruik's Adventure)!

I'm surprised and grateful for Diabolic Shrimp for the review on his site, a thousand times thank you!

Vella: Definitive Nobody, Derek Barley

Derek Barley had a life so ordinary that one day, he turned full-tilt nobody. Much to his surprise, becoming a definitive nobody not only provided perks, but the role also granted a semi-controllable power. How does one become so common that they turn into something totally unique? Turn the pages to find out.

Note: This 16 chapter story (so far) is part of my backlog which is more transcribing but also a bit of updating / re-writing. Since I'm working primarily on Specks of Shadows Flecks of Light, this one is on the 'end of 2024' target list with Spy Life: Rear View Mirror. I know Vella readers are rare, but when in published e-book & paper, will be sure to announce.

Any thoughts?

Luna Heartstrong children's book series, by Lyra Brave. Interview by Aegelis

I had the pleasure of interviewing children's book author Lyra Brave about her Luna Heartstrong series, of which I'm a personal fan. In addition to great stories, she also handcrafts the beautifully colourful artwork. Truly an inspiration.

Check it out and always interested in reading your comments:

Spy Life: Rear-View Mirror

Espionage is a funny thing...

Reworked title of a concept I had long ago, I'm clearing both the physical and mental backlog and at least reserving the title and first episode.

Still working on Specks of Shadows, Flecks of Light, so this one in in queue for a year or two.

Updated X (Captain Ruik's Adventure) book description on Amazon

"Thrill of the chase is on across dangerous seas with pirate huntress Captain Lanna Ruik and her crew aboard the tall ship Eagle's Claw to reclaim stolen treasure while confronting violent thieves.

Does X Captain Ruik's Adventure have a cannon-roaring sea battle? Aye!

Does X have a clash of steel land battle? Aye!

Does X have a happily ever after? Well, you are going to have to find out for yourself after a few surprises.

Captain Lanna’s rough upbringing has transformed her into a self-made leader who is thoughtful, quick, strategic, bold, intelligent, compassionate, tactical, and a skilled swordfighter. In this fantasy world, a female captain is rare, but Lanna is by no means impersonating a male.

Since the Eagle’s Claw crew is not military; the sailors are rough around the edges, however, the gruff crew are looking to get paid by their captain after assignments, so while on duty, following orders is a must up to the point of death.

Dive into the heart-pounding action awaiting you!"
