I finished writing my first book less than a week ago and gave some copies out for people to read. It has been surprisingly easy to put it out of my mind only for it to come roaring back as I wait for their opinions.

After 6 more weeks of redoing the whole damn thing, it is going through its paces on Amazon KDP. It will be available in a few days. The follow-up is nearing completion; it has dragged on for so long. #shortstories #humour #satire #denham #firstbook

Now that it's not the middle of the night:

My book actually went live last night. It's on Kindle Unlimited and available as an eBook and paperback.

www.amazon.com/Beneath-Sapp...

It's about a guy who builds his own life and finds somewhere, and someone, to call home.

#booksky #scifi #firstbook
Adam discovered #timetravel to escape a life that felt like it was going nowhere.

His journey eventually takes him over 500 light-years from Earth, where he never expected to find something worth staying still for.

Just hit the “finalise” button and in doing so sent the final proofs back to the publisher. No turning back now. Feels less scary than I expected, more like that if any awkward phrasing or typos have slipped through, they’ll reinforce the fact that this is 100% human-written #AcademicSky #FirstBook
