Special Thanks to my good friend Derek Stack for his help on some of the more technical and scientific events portrayed in this novel. Also I'd like to thank my lovely daughter for posing on the cover of The Tiniest Invaders, Book One Coexistence.
Revision date: 11/29/2013, 11:30 PM
I have finished the revisions. If you found some oddities, such as missing commas, or commas where they shouldn't have been, congratulations. You're smarter than me. Of course, that's not saying too much.
I did get a very nice email from a sweet couple of kids who read this and pointed out a goofy mistake I'd made. Thank you Ed and Dani for being kind enough to let me know about the goof so I could fix it. I also took the liberty of fixing a bunch of other oddities and typos.
Did I catch them all?
Probably not.
If you see something glaringly stupid I've written, other than odd comma placement, drop me a line at
[email protected] and I'll try and fix it.
Book Two; The Meandering Menace was published earlier this year. The final installment will be completed sometime in 2014.
As to the final Tiniest Invaders book- It's a funny thing. I really do like the story but very few readers, such as yourself share my feelings about it. When I finished book two I was bitching to a friend of mine that very few people like the story or at least didn't seem to.
She asked a terribly intelligent question then. “Why bother writing what no one likes? Why don't you keep writing about zombies? People seem to like those stories.”
I hate it when she's right.
Especially when she's right, I know it, and go ahead and do a dumb thing- such as finish the series on Tiniest Invaders. Perhaps I'm just a glutton for punishment? But what can I do?
As I've said before- I love the story.
I've seen hundreds of movies on aliens and humans but never felt the stories were particularly meaningful. Many seemed just sort of stupid and often made me wonder about the aliens motivation. Unlike the undead, aliens should have motivations and reasons for doing the things they do.
I mean really... they come from billions of miles away to suck out brains, play with anal probes, and blow up major cities. What's the point of any of that?
Perhaps, aside from my liking the story and wanting to see the end myself, the biggest reason I keep slogging away on the final book is very simple- I have no choice.
I would be a major ass to come this far only to cackle maniacally and tell readers nothing more about what happens. And while many people already think I'm an ass, for a host of valid reasons, I don't want an incomplete TTI trilogy to be one of them.
A FEW WORDS ON HOW I WRITE
Some authors create a detailed outlines to plan out their novels. Those writers are very meticulous and logical in how they do their work.
I am not.
I do keep journals with key points that occur in each chapter and have a vague idea where I want the story to go, principally so as not to make things confusing. But most of the things I write are by way of 'stream on consciousness'.
Oh sure, I'll pause every now and again to check on various facts to insure I don't write something idiotic (too often).
My story telling technique is very free flowing. I try and place myself in the character's mindset and imagine how they'd react to the things around them. Some critics and readers have quite rightly pointed out that sometimes the story comes out as long-winded.
I have no defense for that accusation because they happen to be right, but I don't care too much if that offends some readers when I ramble. Because I write principally to entertain myself. If others want to read the stories they are welcome to do so. But my main criteria in writing something is simple; Is it a fun read?
If it is I feel my job is done.
Did you hate the story?
If so, you should probably not get the second book.
Did you like the story?
If so, drop me an email at
[email protected] and say “Hi.”
OR, if you want to do me a tremendous favor write up a nifty review and post it wherever you downloaded TTI Book 1 and tell people why you liked it.
Thanks for reading,
