A bit of a cliché I know, however it is true.
I injured myself in a stairwell accident in mid 2014 and have been undergoing rehab for this since August last year and have been unable to really get into anything without a real struggle.
The medico's tell me I have 6 months more therapy and they are currently happy with my progress toward a full recovery. While I am not, the good news is that I have now recovered my ability to fully use my upper body and my lower body is not too far behind.
Expect some things to begin happening soon and as we speak I have completed further work on the plot and storyline of book 2. I still have the re-edit of book one to fully complete though.
Cheers
Firstly I want to say how fantastic the response has been to this first story and I am truly humbled by your comments and encouragement.
This encouragement has also come from a most unexpected source, fellow authors on SOL have also contacted me including two on my most favourites list.
All of you have encouraged me to continue with this series as have the authors and further they have encouraged me to exend this book and build a more solid picture of the world I have created for the story.
They also have encouraged me to refine/expand the core characters involved to make it easier to mature and expand "The Oasys" as the new species grows. Doing this would mean less of a chance of sacrificing the core extended family unit or some of the adventure and conflicts I have planned for them.
John Wales the author such science fiction classics as "Space", "Tandra" and "Leefstic" (along with many others) has made a number of fantastic suggestions the most notable being to put Ohai's extraordinary abilities into context with the world around her. This would means she would not seem so "super powered" as she appears in this book. His experience with "Super Powered" characters means that a story very easily becomes confined as you find more and more 'Super Bad Guys" for characters struggle against.
Providing a clearer picture of the core characters and the world state in would mean that the stories and adventures planned for the series can be more intense and exciting.
For those of you finding some of the "Tech" in the story 'too over the top' please do a little research using some of the terms I have used in the story. I'm sure you will find what I did when I researched it all. It is all based on current accepted scientific theory or currently in its infancy of lab construction and testing. There is even an approved patent for the design of the nuclear battery Ohai powers herself with. What I have done is a bit of imagineering to create what I believe would be 100 odd years worth of improvement and development Ohai style.
Give me your thoughts, you are my reader base now and I owe it to you to make the series more readable.
By the way have you discovered the easter eggs related to the T Twins name :)
As a new author some feedback would be very much appreciated.
I have the next book SIG Alpha and its plot completed and have started writing so book 2 shouldn't be too long. I posted the as a whole story to give you guys a reasonable look at what I am creating.
I have attempted to keep as true to at least the spirit of the science and technology involved as possible. This is even to the extent that there has been a patent approved for the nuclear battery used by Ohai albeit my one by been much improved by Ohai(writers imagineering and all that)
