Read up on Jungles of Alabama over on RR, very well written stuff, unlike some commenters there I liked the world-building and the MCs musings why humans are different. Also seeing a work free of woke garbage was also very refreshing. I have more to say but I'll save the details for when you come back.
Not sure if you intend to keep writing but Moon Shot was a treat. Reminded me a lot of Seven Eves if you know it. Same Moon scenario, same frantic rush to save at least someone... except here things are worse ofc bcs Worm. The writing is without flaws and the action pace unrelenting.
All in all great stuff and I hope you come back to it, but even if not best of luck to your and your future endeavours.
Hello. I recently bought and read all four Daniel Black books on Amazon. I enjoyed them greatly and look forward to the next book in the series. Also, I enjoyed your Moon Shot story and similarly look forward to its next chapter. I may look up more of your stories later, as I have liked what I have seen.
I just want you to know that I appreciate your work and pray that things will be better for you soon.
Any guesses as to when the next Daniel Black book will be coming out? Or is there a patreon or something where I can read chapters pre-release? Thanks.
My first thought was to think if you changed it recently but fanfiction.net says it hasn't been changed since 2011. Which is awhile ago. Although, maybe I am just remembering badly and she gets re-brainwashed and that is the part I am thinking of. It has to have been like 6-7 years or more since I last read it
So, I kind of psyched myself out and am a little confused in regard to you time braid story. I started reading it recently but had a deja vue feeling which makes me decently sure I read it before. Or at least a very similar story. But I thought the main character getting brainwashed was a multi-chapter thing rather than just one and remember it being much scarier as well..
Hey Shaper, any plans on ever getting back into your cultivation setting?
I recently got started reading InvertedHelix's take and found the original inspiration, and the whole setting seems really well put together mechanically
So stoked for the next Daniel Black. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to Jungles of Alabama—before I actually start reading it, though, are you planning on releasing an audiobook version? I still use my eyeballs, but I usually get audio if I can.
Btw, the status message on your profile is currently "Probably not, since I just published the completed book on Amazon". Has been set by accident I guess.
Are you ever planning on publishing "Jungles of Alabama" on Amazon? I noticed that it was now marked as finished on Subscribe Star. I would be interested in purchasing it as a full book and I imagine quite a few people on this site would feel the same.
I love Perilous Waif and just found out about the Merciful Troubleshooter chapters you posted here. I'm very excited to read them and waiting patiently for the full release.
It's been years since I last read Perilous Waif but I love the blueprints in Alice's memory and the encounter with the AI parts of the story. Cheers!
Are you familiar with the game series Dominions? (the most recent is Dominions 5 and they essentially remake the same game with a better engine). As I listen to the audiobooks of Daniel Black that I just bought, it strikes me that Dominions is very similar to the world that you build to. I you haven't, it is a really cool game that you should try out.
Hey! Just hoping things are alright. Loved Perilous Waif and especially Daniel Black. While I hope inspiration eventually hits again, it's more important to do what is right for you. Even if you aren't able to continue Daniel's story, I'm happy to have been able to read the books you've already released—you should definitely be proud of the work you've done, regardless of whether it works out to continue them.
