Good morning Colonel. I'd be honored if you'd take a look at my book - an old broken Marine trying to survive Alaska in time of war. What can he do to save his family and retain his humanity? It's not quite Thailand - the action is winter-based where it is a bit cold, being interior Alaska and all. Thanks for your consideration.
I'd be happy to take a look. The book is It's Not Enough To Just Exist, I'm assuming?
Yes - that's it. I'm releasing the first book of a multi-book scifi series this week. I have books 2 and 3 written, but need to review them a few more times to make sure they are ready for prime time.
OK, I'll take a look. I just finished Book 3 of my Werewolf of Marines trilogy. and I'll take a week off to return to the universe of the United Federation Marine Corps.
Enjoy your time off and don't hurry the new one. As the G3 told me once when I asked for his updated oplan, "If you want it bad, you get it bad..."
Just bought your book. I'll probably get to it during the week.
Just getting back to you, now. I did read it and enjoyed it. Nice job.
Thanks Colonel - a Traditional Publisher bought It's Not Enough and we're turning it into a trilogy. I will also benefit from a professional editor, an issue I resolved with the other five books I've published this year - following your model to start a series and write, keeping the readers engaged. I look forward to your next UFMC novel:) I also credit you on my author page, along with some other great writers for the inspiration.
Congrats on the trad contract. After debating long and hard about it, I am starting talks with a trad publisher as well. One of the big names in scifi convinced me that I could use the experience to better hone my craft, and he connected me with the publisher. And thanks for the mention in your author page!
I had just finished a 33-hour trip to Thailand when I put up the review on It's Not Enough, and I must have had a brain fart because I referred to the book as "dystopian." I have corrected it to "post apocalyptic."
