Smith Ellis liked a review for The Kingdom Calls
I really liked this, and you really left me hanging with Billy holding the alien hostage. I think the start is great, and gets straight into the action with a conflict between man and wife, a conflict most of us can or will experience at some stage.The action went along at such a pace, that I was worried that the story would be over too soon. But I should never have worried. Because the following chapters introduce more characters and even a genocidal alien queen!!! These other perspectives brought in early on, completely open up the story, making sure the reader knows they're in for a grand adventure.Oh, and you left the perfect hook. What the hell is Billy going to do with his alien hostage?

      Wow!  I disappeared for a bit, and come back to find a flurry of good feedback and support.  I thank you all for your attention.  While I was gone, I wrote a good bit more of this story.  You can check it out now - it’s fully uploaded here.  I have no idea how long it will take me to finish this, but I hope I can count on you all sticking it out with me.  I also threw up a website for this work:  thekingdomcalls.com .  Just another avenue to stay in touch and get the word out. 

      Read my revisions, enjoy the story, give me feedback (upon which I thrive!) and let’s find out what is going on with Billy, gray aliens, his son, and strange alien queens in other parts of the galaxy!
