My Science Fiction Novel Needs Readers
-
I am posting my novel on this site, It has been up for a little while, but I am not seeing much traffic, nor any comments. I would invite anybody who wants to, to give it a try. I have seven or eight potential books plotted out roughly. I am nearly finished with the first book, it is 43,000 words today! I don’t have all of that posted yet.
It is called Laser Boy, Book 1: Ventilation Season
Possibly a terrible title, but hey there you go. It is about a gang of homeless kids on a space station trying to survive in the year 2600 or so. It uses a few super-hero type tropes, because I’ve just read so many comics. It has a mature content warning, mostly for language and violence, but some mild sexual situations as well, strictly R rated stuff, no NC 17 or over type content. Some serious themes are within, but also much humor. The part I just wrote today has ninja monkeys!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
