Fiction by Theodore B. Ayn > Likes and Comments

This is a thread where group members can discuss the fictional writing (so far, consisting of some short e-stories, and one novella) of our own Theodore B. Ayn. (It will also be a thread where Theodore can update us on new publications, promotions, etc., or perhaps discuss the inspirations behind his work.)

Theodore has an obvious admiration for strong, well-muscled women with heroic qualities of character, which is evident in the cover art and descriptions of all of his work. It's not clear that all of them necessarily display their strength and heroism by fighting as such (though at least one does); there are potentially other ways to do that. But I'd guess that all of his tales would be interesting and appealing to most members of this group. The only one of his stories I've read so far is Stepping Outside: Where a Fight is the Path to Redemption; my five-star review is here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... . But he's also the author of By Principle Alone, Jack and Allison: A Story of Rivalry, Respect and Strength, and Barefoot and Unbroken: Taking a Rivalry Off The Field.

Theodore, just wanted to let you know that I've added both Barefoot and Unbroken: Taking a Rivalry Off The Field and Jack and Allison: A Story of Rivalry, Respect and Strength to my new "e-stories to read" shelf. Also, I've added By Principle Alone and Principal Inspiration: A Story of Reclamation and Faith to my "maybe" shelf. Once my bloated to-read shelf is a bit less bloated, I'm hoping to bump them up. :-)

Just as a thought, I can understand that neither of the short e-stories are really suited to publication in paper format; they're too short for that. But By Principle Alone is novella length, and Principal Inspiration is a full-length novel. I'd really encourage you to consider bringing out paperback versions of both of these. Your printing service will bear the production costs; and it would make the books more accessible to those of us who want to support long fiction in the printed-paper format!

Have you read the comic Zona?

No, Laz, I'm not familiar with it myself. But I think it would be more practical to give it a thread of its own, where you can tell us more about it (since it's kind of off-topic here!). Can you create a new thread, and copy-and-paste your comment there? (You have to do that from the "edit" mode, or the link won't transfer properly.)

The association was that the page I linked looks very similar to the covers of Ayn's books.

New topic started.

Makes sense, Laz! Thanks.
