I submitted the second book in the Darwin's World Series to Zbookstore this afternoon.
Look for The Trek, author Jack Knapp, and there's a lot in the book I think you'll enjoy.
I want to thank Denny (not sure of his pen name) for proofreading the book and I accepted his suggestions, but...
Having read the manuscript when I looked at his comments, I decided I wasn't happy with it. So I started from the beginning and reworked most of it.
If you read the book in its earlier version, the story is unchanged, but the writing now reflects the things I learned while writing my other books. I think it's better now, much better, and I'll be publishing the other books as soon as I've given them similar treatments.
I'm still around, surprising considering my age!
I submitted the final two of my western novels yesterday, making five in the American Southwest Series available on ZBookstore.
Now I'm editing my Darwin's World Series for posting, and I should have the first two (Darwin's World and The Trek) ready within a week or so. After that, it'll be the Combat Wizard Series.
Retirement...I've managed it twice (US Army, Teacher), tried a third time (writing), and discovered that it's terribly overrated!
I've got the concept for a new book, and most of the plot for another, tentative title Growing Up Wizard. It's the seventh book in the Wizards Series, which begins with Combat Wizard that's available here on SOL. The others were on Bookapy for a time before I removed them to revise and rework, while hopefully eliminating mistakes.
Current plan: write the first ten chapters, then start submitting them to SOL if Lazeez permits. At one time he wanted all the books in a series on SOL first, but that was pre-Bookapy.
The other is a one-off, so won't present problems. I've worked on two projects simultaneously before, so I'll see if I can still do it!
Fair notice: I'll be removing my books from Bookapy this weekend. I'm going to take a long look at them and see if I can improve them before republishing.
Jack Knapp.
No idea what went wrong; yesterday, I submitted Hybrids to Bookapy's moderators. Got the message it was in their hands.
But this morning, when I checked I found a notice to complete the process. The manuscript upload apparently didn't happen, but I resubmitted it a few minutes ago. I'm wondering now if something's wrong with the file?
If so, I'll find out sometime today.
