Happy June Everyone! I always like to start a month off with a new review. This one was emailed to me last night by Roberta R. Here is her review (slightly edited, nothing major).
The Lion Communique is a fascinating collection of stories. Each one can stand by itself. Couldn't stop reading, though, until I had read all of the stories today. Each one was fascinating and thought provoking. I especially liked God-wired and The Third Day.
God-wired because it gives an alternative to aliens wanting to take over the world, use humans as experiments, or to share their advanced knowledge. That the Aliens were also looking for answers and had traveled a great distance and were going to travel more distance for that special spark they had detected.
The Third Day fascinated me because it reminded me of a short story by Richard Connell, The Most Dangerous Game. Liked the concept of moving from being a marksman to a sniper and how Janus was taken down by a a fellow marksman, The Most Dangerous Game...hunting the most intelligent and most dangerous game...MAN...the only one who can shoot back.
Look forward to reading the next book sometime in 2025 and will be locating the other books written by Jim Cherry, so I can enjoy reading them too!
Thank you, Roberta, for the kind words and taking the time to read and review The Lion Communique!
Update on Progress of the novel version of The Third Day
The writing on the novel version of The Third Day is coming along nicely and I think it's great! I'm just short of 80,000 words and scenes are ending up where they will be in the final version. Somebody could read it now and be able to get what I'm trying to do. But, there is one more polishing version to go through after this one where I read it out loud to see how it flows for a reader. I have a deadline of finishing by late July or early August to get it the interested editor.
More news on The Doors Examined!
As you may remember last month I mentioned the publisher of The Doors Examined, will release an audio version of the book. I haven't heard more yet except that it's in the queue to be produced. More to come on this front as it happens!
Have a great June!
