J.T., your book sounds fascinating. Giant sinking ocean liners, aliens, spaceships, dieselpunk...my head is going to explode.

I just wanted to let you know, that this sounds like it totally rocks! This is my kind of story. It's rather get a root canal before I sit down and read something about a couple getting a divorce, or a kid that gets beat up everyday... well, okay, there is a kid in my novel that gets beat up everyday, but he's at least he's on another planet, and gets to ride space ships.

What fun is reading something if you can't go somewhere else? I have enough real life. I live it every day. I read to escape and have fun. Science Fiction and Fantasy is fun for me.

Science Fiction Dieselpunk indeed, Mike R. But Steampunk is a more generally recognized umbrella descriptor.

Thanks, Cookie. If I don't finish book three soon MY head will explode!

Amen, Wordranger! You know what they say, reality is just a crutch for those who can't handle SF and Fantasy!

I completely and totally concur with this:

J.T. - Lol.

We need more good sci fi writers! I say wear your badge proudly. :)
