Debbie Roth asked Ron Jenkins:

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.

Ron Jenkins A book about a series of books. 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?
