I just want to encourage any of you who wonder if you have a novel inside you. Write it down and tell the story. Just keep writing and let the story take you to the end. You want to have others read it and take it apart, then patch it up stronger and get it to an editor who will make it even stronger. Then get it out there. If it is a story you enjoy writing, then there will be people out there who will enjoy reading it.
There is nothing to lose by writing a fun story. Write it and then write another. The world needs more stories.

Well done in writing a book. Even more so six!
Let me ask you this, regarding: “I started my journey as a self-published writer just over two years ago and look forward to doing this as a career for the next few decades.”
Self-published and career traditionally haven’t gone together.
Are you able to make money on the books?

Congratulations. Writing a book and putting it in front of people takes more bravery than I have right now.

Cool.
I have 10 books out on Amazon now, scifi and PAW themed. It is fun to write and then get feedback from folks that enjoy the story. (World of the Chernyi)
I started to keep my writing skills (I do tech writing) and it turned out to be great fun.
Congrats!

I can’t buy a book at the moment. But I will put it on my “wish list”. This sounds like a different character and place but the same kind of thing as “One Second Later” or whatever it was called.
Sounds like a great idea.
Actually different books from different POV based in the same “universe” would be interesting.

You should post a link when you find it on Amazon.
