    Who Are The Writers?

    I have completed one novel and am slowly working on the sequel. When I had finished it I thought I was a fantastic writer and had a great story. Now, although I still think the story of Roadworks is good I also must admit that my writing could have been more polished. Having said that I am...

    Greetings to one and all

    Welcome Back I'm into several genres really but I prefer Science-Fiction: Orson Scott Card, Dan Simmons, Asimov, David Brin, Gregory Benford. I especially liked the series of Amtrak Wars by Patrick Tilley and the Paratwa series by Christopher Hinz. Suspense&Thrillers: Michael Crichton...

    Greetings to one and all

    I just (re)discovered my account here which I had created in 2005. I've been so busy promoting Roadworks that I lost track (after 2 computer crashes) of some of the numerous accounts I had on writing or book related sites.

However I found that the character interaction was a bit feeble and uninteresting. In my opinion the book could easily have...

    Greetings

    I have no particularly favourite genre but action/thriller is one I enjoy when the story is well thought out. My novel falls into that category but I tried to wrap a good storyline around it.

    Frank Herbert: Dune

    You could try the Amtrak Wars by Patrick Tilley. They are set in a future after a nuclear holocaust. Three tribes compete, the primitives who live off the land, the technology oriented group and the last group works like a medieval Japanese society. There are 6 books but well worth the read.
