About the author
Bill Thesken
19 books49 followersI was born in East Los Angeles, When I was nineteen I drove 2,000 miles to Ketchikan, Alaska, worked for a month on the docks, then flew to an island in the middle of the Pacific ocean and never looked back. My ancestors the McLean's are from the Isle of Mull in Scotland, so I also seem to like islands.
Writing isn't really work when it's going well. It's more like transcendental neuro-athletics, hand eye mind coordination typing as fast as you can to keep up with the flow of words as they build a world on paper.
When I was growing up, my Dad would read about 3 novels a week, they were laying all over the place, piled in the corners, on desks and tables, mostly crime novels, with guns, cigarettes and broads on the covers, so I split from my Action/Adventure genre and wrote a crime novel for him, titled 'Edge of the Pit'. Then followed it up with 'The Catalina Cabal'. I published 'Quick Read' in July 2020 which I think is the best of the series so far. We'll see.
I published 'Legend of the Broken Paddle' in Sept. 2020.
From March to April 2021 I wrote 3 novellas in a series for young readers titled Hunt For The Wild.
September 13, 2021 I released Poets and Philosophers, a mystery crime thriller.
I wrote and published 6 books during the pandemic so far.
My birthday is June 1, which is the first day of Hurricane Season. Some people say that explains a lot...

I received the Kindle version of this book through a giveaway. It's a pretty short read. And, I actually liked it more than I thought I would, since I haven't cared much for the other giveaway books that I've won.
Right away, the main character is very relatable... having the worst day of his life, losing everything he has. And, the hints of humor that still shine through that. The storyline, in general, is one that's written a lot... Aliens wanting to come to Earth. But, there is a uniqueness in the type of abilities that they possess. Quite a few spelling errors throughout that become a little frustrating. But, overall, it worth a read. You definitely end up caring about the two main characters and wanting to know what their fate will be.
