I am an author not a reader here at Goodreads. I am back to writing the second book in this series. Please, please if you have entered a giveaway and won, read the book, and give it your honest review.

I would much rather only fifty people entered a giveaway and gave it a review than hundreds or even thousands who would just stick it on their trophy shelf and never read it.

Can I say Thank you enough to all who have become my friends? Obviously not but thank you all the same. I really think I've done an excellent job on this book and desperately need some input. Please help me out... The title is The Great Frontier: In the Beginning.

It is available for free on Kindle Unlimited. It has a sample you can read on the US Amazon book web page. My ...more

I am working on the sequel to my book right now and will have a look at it at my next opportunity. As for the music you sent me I don't have access to Amazon Music. I'm not a member. Perhaps again when I get time, I will look it up on another platform. I hope you will get a copy of my first Great Frontier book next time I get the chance to make it available for free. I'll message you when that happens. (less)

In your “Author Bio” portion of the Amazon page for your new book The Great Frontier: In The Beginning, you write “My first book Th3 Reborn is a meta-book for a series of books.” I am not familiar with the term meta-book. Could you tell me what that means, and why you chose to write that type of book? I did find some info online, but not sure if that’s what it means here.

At least that is what they kindly called it at a site where authors bounce of their ideas about their books, off the other authors there. That is where I put together a finished version of Th3 Reborn. Before that it was more of a stream of consciousness I had put down on paper about a character and the universe in which he had lived until the end of it.

I put together my concept of how the universe works there. I've always been interested in Astrophysics and worked out some unusual ideas I've had there. It is not a very good read... It is written in first person narrative and full of unproven concepts about science most people don't care about. And a Chimera character that lives a series of lives that lead him to discover how his universe works.

At best another reader would see the ideas behind where I want to take this series of books. Unless that is your purpose, I wouldn't recommend that book.

Now a book I can wholeheartedly recomend is the first book based on the first chapter of that book. I'm very proud of the story telling in my new book. It is written in third person and has the point of view of many of the characters that lived in Th3's world.

The Great Frontier: In the Beginning is a book the average reader will truly enjoy. What do you think about having a Mature version and a Young Adult version of the same book?(less)

What am I up to?

I'm still writing the second book in my series. I'm hoping to have it ready for your Christmas list. I've rewritten the beginning of my first book! I'm offering it as a Goodreads Giveaway. I am an author not a reader here at Goodreads. I'm confused about what I will do next. Do I finish the second book, or do I create and Audible book for the first book and have it ready by Christmas?

Quotes by Ron Jenkins (?)

“Out here, she was reduced to a mere observer, a transient entity skirting the edges of infinity. The sensation of insignificance clung to her like a second skin. Her thoughts, grappling with the paradox of her significance.”

“I learned in my first life that we’re not born with knowledge or skills. We must learn and work hard to acquire them. I believe we should always thank those willing to teach them whether we like or agree with them. We need to simply take from it what they know and add it to what we know. Never believe you know it all. Half the time we don’t even know the question. I don’t think I really understood this ‘til much later.”

“My experience of life is that it is not divided up into genres; it’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you're lucky.”
