@f looks like a fun read 👍

@TriflingTree Thank you 🙂 If you do read it, I’d be interested to hear what you think …

@f
I keep forgetting to tell you that I bought your book "Honest, the Martian Ate Your Dog" from Amazon and really enjoyed it. It was very fun to read. Are you planning a series?

@TriflingTree Thank you 🙏 Honest to goodness, you are my first unknown (well, not quite unknown but you know what I mean) reader with feedback given to me directly 🙂 All other feedback has either been left on Amazon etc. or has been from people I personally know ....

So this makes me very happy 🙂 Happier than I can tell you.

Book two in the same universe (but not with the same characters) is done. I'm editing it at the moment and hope to release in about a month, if all goes well. Book three is (again different characters but same universe) is ten chapters in but I might release that as a novella becuase I want to work on book 4.

So yes, plan is to write a series of novels set in the same universe but might not be the same characters. Though I did have a book planned with Dick Turpentine but that's not one of the one's I'm actively working on at the moment ...

@f
Oh that's great. Please let me know when your next book is published. I look forward to your other book in that universe.
Also, I'm very excited about the future book with Dick Turpentine 😄

@TriflingTree Will do 🙂 And thank you again!

If you can, and don't mind, if you could leave a review on Amazon, it would help greatly. At the moment, I have one review (from about 10 years ago) that is trashing the book. So having a positive review would help 🙏

Also, now that I know there's at least one Dick Turpentine fan out there, I might have to push that book forward a bit.

There's an (incomplete) serialized story with Dick Turpentine here:

There are two parts and then I stopped, but that was, if I remember correctly, was supposed to be the start of the Dick Turpentine story 🙂

@f I posted a review on Amazon. Unfortunately I'm better at reading books than reviewing them. But at least there is now something positive about your book. 😊

I'll check out the Dick Turpentine stories this evening. Thanks for the link

@TriflingTree Thank you so much — appreciate it very much 🙂And if you'd like an ARC of the next novel, let me know and I'd be happy to send it to you. It's not Dick Turpentine, but now I'm re-evaluating what goes next anyway based on your feedback 😀
