Could be worse. It could always be arriving early....

Okay, I said that one.

Thank you. I'm trying to get it all out of my system, before I start my next novel.

Well I wouldn't if I was you. After reading 6 in One I decided to read a few of your other books like The Onuissance Cells and First Expedition, ... Evoguía is on the queue. I have to say while the other stories where good I still enjoyed 6 in One much more. Personally I enjoy your style of humor not over the top but still keeps me chuckling. I think you have a gift for being able to transcribe your humor into your stories when you let it, there are not a lot of authors that can pull that off.

Anyhow just my 2 cents, and with the devaluation of the dollar that is worth less than usual.

Okay... this is mildly disconcerting...

On the other hand, maybe I should rewrite my Kestral sequel to be a comedy!

Oh, wait, it was loosely based on a pseudo-Star Trek/Firefly universe... it pretty much was a comedy...

Sorry. How does that saying go "If you think you might offend somebody by what you are about to say... You most likely will". I suppose I should have stayed quite

Again I apologize my intent was not to dishearten your accomplishments. More rather to identify some of your strengths. As professionals we are always looking to find a niche a way to stand out form the rest. This is usually done by maximizing on one owns strengths and looking for new opportunities. I think this is yours and yours.


BTW I've never heard of Star Trek/Firefly is that like Space Balls?

No, I just meant the universe created for Kestral has similarities to the Star Trek and Firefly universes, both of which (but mostly Trek) have their humorous aspects when examined under a hard-SF light.

Nope not buying it, they are mutually exclusive.

Okay I see, because space balls from a hard-SF light was quite accurate.

I am shocked, stunned, and hurt.

May have to summon the forces of eldritch evil (i.e. my lawyers held on retainer) for the emotional damage done to my person by the falsities and slanderous lies put forth by Mr. Jordan.

Ever since I was a tiny hatchling, after seeing this sweet, tender vehicle on one of any number of future-now television programmes, have longed to have one of these for my own. Mr. Jordan's fraudulent "review" is nothing but chicanery and malevolent words to wound people who might be silly enough to want to drive one of these things.

I'm going to sue those nice chinos off you, and your little talking car too.


Seriously, did this company ever build more than one of these? Saw it first about five years ago!

It would be pretty nice to have the economy and thrill of a motorcycle while retaining the all-weather & shopping function of a big-boy car.
