It's been a busy reading year for me. 🤪 That's going to slow as 2027 approaches but I'll probably squeeze a few more books in to fill this grid before then.

FYI: I can confirm that all my audiobooks are now indeed in Kindle+ (formerly Kindle Unlimited) in the US. This includes "The Big Men" for those who prefer traditional narration to Virtual Voice.
BTW: Virtual Voice is not "AI." I explain why here:

The whole "Kindle Unlimited" to "Kindle+" rebrand is interesting, especially given the inclusion of audiobooks in the US. Mine should all be available if anyone would like to give that a try. Curious to see what comes of it. Will we all start saying K+ instead of KU? 🤔

I know there are more than a few 2026 speculative-fiction books that have done better than "The Nemesis Legacy" this year but the fact is, there are a whole lot more that haven't. Thus, a big thank you to everyone who's helped make that happen.
Seriously, thank you! 🚀🪐📚❤️🙂👍

Last chance to have "Hostile Takeover" for free!
I conceived this story years before I wrote "The Big Men" but sat on the idea for decades until I felt I'd reached a point where my ability as a writer could do it justice.
Thus, a very special point of entry into The Timelines.
ENDING SOON: October 19th is the last day to get the Kindle edition of "Hostile Takeover" for free worldwide via Amazon.
This is the final time the story will be offered at no cost, so get it while you can!

You may have noticed that I've been focusing a lot on giveaways this month. Several of them won't ever be happening again but it's also because I'm having a big eBook sale in November, likely the last of its kind. So, now truly is the best possible time to start reading my works.
SPOOKY SEASON READERS!

My latest read: "Amityville Awakens" by Robert P. Ottone
It doesn't get much more "spooky season" than this. Some challenging themes but I enjoyed the ride. 👍

Last chance to grab "Office Hours" for free!
Fans of "The Field Journal of Dr. Franklin Nod" and "Red" from "Shards" will find this one particularly interesting but its blend of science fiction, horror, and unsettling thrills made it a hit for those new to The Timelines as well.
ENDING SOON: October 12th is the last day to get the Kindle edition of "Office Hours" for free worldwide via Amazon.
This is the final time the story will be offered at no cost, so get it while you can!

FYI: Quarter-star ratings are being rolled out on Goodreads. Just saw the option for the first time on the web site a few minutes ago.
This is going to be... interesting. 🤔
Still processing it but my first thought is, "I wonder if people will go back and adjust their ratings?"
