Sounds thrilling. I promise one sale.

I had an early literary love affair with Edgar Rice Burroughs, and I still have a crush on Dejah Thoris almost fifty years later. So, this sounds better than good.

Thanks so much!

Dejah Thoris, the OG space princess. Such an icon!

This looks fun! I've been hoping some authors would return to old-school SFF.

Thanks for the music recs. :)

I like the italicized part of the blurb, but maybe that's just me?

Not just you, I'll have to tally up the feedback I've gotten so far. Iirc, it's still roughly 50/50 keep or cut.

Thanks so much for the comment!

The blurb is fire and it's got a heavy metal af feel. I'll give an honest review for a copy in the fall. HITP 🔥💯👏

Cool sounds antique and epic. Do you write on a typewriter?

I didn't write the novel on a typewriter, but I'm trying to use them more, which is how I worked on the blurb. It's easier to write without distraction that way.

That’s interesting, I was wondering how the kinetics affects the writing. Would a story be different if done on a pc verses paper verses typewriter. You could never know except in alternative universes done under the same conditions but in the different modes at the same time. 😂

Oh, it's totally different to write on a typewriter. Totally different flow to the words. This is my last novel drafted on a laptop, and since starting my Substack just about every short story and poem I've posted has been drafted on a typewriter, and I'm working on another novel, too. It's slower, but that's the bonus of it, it forces you to slow down, no backspace so you have to turn off your inner editor, no distractions... totally different.
