Happy to say the series has also found a warm welcome here at.

I applied my advertising copywriter skill set (word craftsmanship and reader empathy) to the one idea of Eytan's I felt was strongest and then together we created an outline, basic plot points and an extrapolated world built on that initial concept. Mind you I had no idea how to go about this but I did know that Eytan had some great ideas and little tenacity and I had a lot of tenacity and a gift for knowing how to turn great ideas into a marketable ones. People will be arguing about this novel and this world for decades.Īt the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.I'm an accidental science fiction author.Ī few years back, broke, desperate and living with my wife and three kids at my in-laws, I decided to get together with my brother, Eytan and write a book.
