First of all, thanks to everyone who asked for and created this sub-forum, and thanks to Mrlicker for kicking things off.
 
You may or may not be excited to learn that I have now also written my own novella and it is also for sale on the Amazon website for a measly £1.53; the same amount I received as pocket money (per week) as a child (minus the 3p).
 
I know for a fact that if my adolescent self had had the opportunity to invest one weeks spending money on this book, he would have done so, and he would have been delighted.
 
Here is the link - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Conrad-Distant-Future-ebook/dp/B007YT7LE8/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpi_1
 
And here is the blurb - 
 
"After learning that his fiancee has been killed, Conrad Donovan decides to take matters into his own hands. Hell bent on retrieving answers, he embarks on a journey that just weeks before would have seemed unlikely at best.

His decision to stow himself away on board a spacecraft primarily designed for prisoners is rash to say the least, and is just the start of an adventure that provides him with few peaks and many troughs along the way.

Will he ever find the answers he desires? 

One thing is for sure, his life will never be the same again."
 
I'm already on with book 2 of the series; hopefully some of you will give it a go and who knows, maybe even enjoy it?!
I certainly enjoyed writing it, and continue to do so. I'm not taking it too seriously; I'm not in it for the money, I'm just creating something that I would also enjoy reading.
 
Thanks for reading!
