Mr. Perkins should write a very different book all together... How to make it as a new self published author on Amazon.Step one-Concieve a great story. NUFF SAIDStep two- Write in such a way as the characters are knowable, lovable and hate-able (when appropriate). Mr. Perkins is a very, very good author especially when you realize how early it is in his career.Step three- Market it in short little four chapter novelettes each one ending with a cliff hanger.WARNING WARNING, If you struggle to rub two nickels together do not read books (novelettes) one and two. By the end of two you will be HOOKED. You will end up paying ten dollars for the "I will try this author out his book is only $.99" inexpensive reading experience.Don't worry though, it will be worth it.This is a great way for an author to do a first publish I believe. If you don't like what he writes you are only out maybe one or two dollars and an hour or so of reading. If you do like it hopefully your ten dollars means he is able to produce more... much much more, (hint hint)If you haven't yet started book 1, I envy you. I believe the final episode, "book ten", is almost out so you wont have the crack... er uh Renewal withdrawals that some of the rest of us have had while I trust the author has been up around the clock to give us our next hit :)In all seriousness if you are reading this Mr. Perkins thanks for the great story and please next time just give it to me in full length so I can go to work without sleeping the previous night but at least I don't have that agonizing gap of time where I can't stand not knowing what happens next (pause for breath). Thanks for the wonderful story.Only real negative comment? Where the heck is everyone getting the gasoline? Did I miss the part where the refineries are all up and running these many years removed?
