Books and Authors I like
As a young man, I enjoyed reading science fiction and fantasy. Books like Dune, Dune Novels – The Official Dune Website, and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Lord of the Rings – Tolkien Gateway, are favorites I have read multiple times. But not all the books I enjoyed were long massive tomes. I enjoy shorter, less literary works like those by Edgar Rice Burroughs, H. G. Wells, Author Conan Doyle, and C. S. Lewis.
So, during the editing of my first book, Salvation and Doom, I started writing my second book. (My Manuscript is finished. Time to prepare for publishing.) I thought of writing a fun science fiction book like A Princess of Mars, John Carter of Mars® Series < Edgar Rice Burroughs, The Lost World, The Lost World – The Arthur Conan Doyle Encyclopedia (arthur-conan-doyle.com), or Out of the Silent Planet, Series: The Space Trilogy Archives – C.S. Lewis Institute (cslewisinstitute.org).
New Book In Process
It only took a few months to have the first draft of the book complete, compared to the years for my first book. The proofreader will finish with the final draft of the book next week. I can format the manuscript and order a cover design. I sent out social media posts asking for help with the book title and received several responses but tried a different approach using A.I. to generate a title and book blurb based on the summary I provided.
The title of it is Lightning’s Edge: Lost World Odyssey. And the blurb is below:
When a bolt of lightning from a clear sky propels middle-aged Ryan and his loyal dog, Toby, into a perilous and primitive world, putting their survival skills to the ultimate test. From enduring capture by ruthless slavers and battling fierce pirates to navigating the treetop villages of a mythical winged race, Ryan’s odyssey is a heart-pounding adventure through a land filled with danger and mystery. As he seeks the secrets held by a tribal medicine man, Ryan’s determination to return home conflicts with the relationships he develops and the uncertainty of his future there.
In “Lightning’s Edge: Lost World Odyssey,” embark on a journey where every step is a battle for survival, every encounter a test of trust, and every moment a fight against the odds. Will Ryan unlock the path back to his world, or will he remain forever lost in this strange and wondrous land?
I submitted the summary to the company that designed my last cover for a free design concept and their idea fit the new title without knowing the book’s title. The excitement is building as publishing nears and I prepare to send out advanced reader copies for review. I had fun writing it and I hope you have fun reading it.
