Hi, this thread is dedicated to the ELLIE QUIN series of books. At the moment, this is really in the early stages. A close to final draft of the first book is with my agent now, and when we're happy with it, it'll go out to various publishers.
There is some basic blurb for this series on the website, but I think for now, I'll be cautious not to elaborate too much on the series concept, until we have a publisher and a launch date. Needless to say the series concept is incredibly original, massively cross-over and everyone's going to fall in love with it ;-)

Alex, I am looking forward to reading your books. I haven't read any sci fi books in quite a while (Asimov only) so am looking forward to reading this new genre for me by you.

Thank you William. One of the guidelines I stuck to when writing Ellie Quin was that it should be SciFi for people who never read SciFi. Odd, I know...but I just wanted to write something that was unusual, a genre book that breaks ALL the rules of that genre! I'm very excited by EQ, I think....hope...I've got something here that's really fresh and is going to get tongues wagging.
Hey, if it takes off....you'll be able to brag that you were the very first fan!  |

if you gents are interested, at some point in the next month or so, I'd be looking for a couple of beta readers for ELLIE QUIN - just to get some loose feedback on what you like/dislike.
let me know if you'd be interested.

Thanks gents. I'll limit this beta-readership to you fellas for now. One has to be careful not to scatter an unpublished draft too far and wide. I'll contact you via email in the next few weeks, and we'll take it from there.
Thanks again, guys. |

| I'm really excited about this book, it looks really intriguing and different. I'd love to see how the fusion of genres works. |
