Follow the journey of Widhbo, the adventures of a chaotic and twisted alien as he faces the struggles of existence throughout time and space. The first novel of the Universe Series "The author's deft storytelling creates a visceral novel that is not only rollicking but also suitable for binge-reading as well. It is a great start for a series." Captain Widhbo ("wee bow") of the Royal Borrugal Brigade was known for his success in battle against all odds. He was infamous for his unorthodox methods and invited adventurous soldiers to train at his side, many too headstrong for other companies. His current mission is to gain control of the daglyr problem, brutish beasts caught raiding vital supply lines on the isolated planet of Corrudi. Widhbo encounters deception and discovers a dark conspiracy threatening the entire Borrugal Coalition.

What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
ReplyDeleteFocus on writing and discipline yourself to write a little every day. If you are obsessed with a plot idea, write like mad and clean it up later. If you aren’t inspired to add new material, then polish what you have written. If you find a scene or chapter in your story doesn’t click, let it rest and come back to it later.
Brainstorm for plot twists and throw monkey wrenches into your best laid plans. Struggle with your characters as they figure out how to get out of the mess and avoid lazy solutions. Find out what techniques work best for you such as story boards, character cards and outlining. Flesh out your characters beyond what is needed and really get to know them.
Read a lot of other authors in many different genres. Do your homework and learn the technical skills of writing. Join a critique group and find people who will give you objective criticism of your work. Realize that you will be doing a lot of revisions. Don’t be lazy about it.
Hire the best editor you can afford. Don’t assault the reader with bad grammar or misspelled words. Don’t short change the reader with hasty or sloppy work. They can tell. Finally, when you think you’re ready to publish, put it down for a couple of weeks and look at it again.
Take care of your health. Take breaks to exercise regularly and throw out the junk food. I know that caffeine is the holy elixir which allows those with day jobs to write through the night, but drink at least two glasses of water for each infusion of caffeine.
Expect rejection. You can’t please everyone and it would turn out rather bland if you did. If you are too sensitive, get someone else to filter through your bad reviews or email. Let them toss out the trolls and mean stuff. Ask them to distill out the constructive criticism from negative reader input. You can enjoy reading 4 and 5 star reviews until your skin is thick enough to handle it.
