Hi everyone, 

Sorry for the long delay between updates.

Draft 1 is finished and has been sent out to select alpha readers. "What is an alpha reader?" you may ask. They are people who have agreed to read the novel very early in the process to help clean it up prior to sending it off for professional editing. This enables me to have someone else look it over and see all the things that I (and MS Word) missed in terms of me knowing what I meant, or details that I missed, or even the ever elusive missing comma.

Initial responses have been encouraging towards tone and ld building, but all have mentioned the constructive criticism that I need to make it a better novel.

Meanwhile, I was recruited to write a chapter in a technical book. Ok, so less recruited then I asked a question "but what about a chapter on ..." and got back the response "can you have it written in 3 weeks?"

So I am pleased to announce that  this has been published:

Chapter 9 "Telecom security 101: What You need to know" is mine.

Best of all you  can download  it here for free (requires signup): Peerlyst eBook 2 - Essentials of Cybersecurity

In other news, I have updated my website with details about my non-fiction book chapters and links to my various social media accounts. I will be adding a template and artwork soon.

So thank you all again for sticking with me, and I will let you know when the editing process is over and I have an idea when, where, and how my novel will be published. Until then I will be working on the next writing project.

Best regards 

Eric
