This review is from: G.E.N.I. Genetically Enhanced Natural Intelligence (Kindle Edition)

First off, let me say I enjoyed this story very much. The first 2/3 of the book had plenty of action, taking place over the space of just a few days and the good guys were easy to get behind. The last third was slower and more predictable but it was still a fun read and I read it over the space of about three days.

Secondly, the 1 star reviewer should be ignored because he doesn't make sense. The author freely references McCaffrey midway through the book and not only gives you the impression there is a connection but does it in a way that makes one want to read the McCaffrey book(s), which I myself have not done. In addition, the reviewer tells the author to "get" a real son, as if you could just go to the corner store and pick one up. Not only is it a terrible choice of words, it doesn't make sense in the context of reviewing the book at all. I have no idea what he is talking about.

Thirdly, this is the only book listed by the author and a quick Google search didn't reveal any more books or any biographical info either. Maybe this is a one and done book for the author as something she always wanted to do. But there were plenty of plot points left open that easily could be expanded into a second book or series. I hope the author does so.

In summary, I hope neither the potential readers or the author is discouraged by an unwarranted 1 star review. This book is worth reading and the story is worth more writing

Time

Didn't realize it's been such a long time since my last post... Time flies, too much stuff going on. I'd like to be able to promote my book more, get it out there you know. I would also like to get the sequel going but there I've hit a snag. I had a very clear idea and plan about what I wanted the story to be like. Writing it however it went in a completely different direction. I'm stuck, and have been for a while, but I will eventually think my way out of the situation...hopefully...:) I do actually have a lot of material for the sequel and it would be a bit of a waste not getting it out there. Even if I only opt for the E-book version.

Maybe someday soon :)

Musk Oxen at Hjerkinn.

Going to our cabin in October, we spotted a small herd of Musk Oxen not far from the road. We had to stop and get some pictures. In a docile mood they rested peacefully.

A note on the sequel, well...I'm still working on it. As I might have mentioned earlier it the plot didn't develop as intended some adjustments had to be made. Trying to get even more action into the book, but hit a point where it's hard to move on. Got some thinking to do and airing ideas with friends an colleagues helps a lot ;) Thanks everyone!

On that note, here's one of my problems I need help with:

"In order to do something legally, you have to break the law to get the evidence you need to get it done legally". Isn't there a name for this situation? (I think I've come across it at some point, but can't remember anymore...if ever...) If anyone know, please give me a note.

Hjerkinn mil. shooting range.

Just spent two weeks up at our cabin in Dovre. It's not far from Hjerkinn, where some of the action in G.E.N.I. takes place. We had a Geocaching trip up a small mountain called Tverrfjellet. It gives you a spectacular view into the shooting range and the Dovre mountains. Thought I'd share some photos I took with my cell phone. The cloud cover was pretty low unfortunately so you can't really enjoy the full view...(I'll hope for better weather next time...)

But imagine these mountains in the full of winter: White, cold, harsh, windy and unforgiving...

We did get to see a Musk ox, but it was only an iron one...the kids had fun though ;)

We also picked up a passenger, Cool Down Schlumpf from the Geocache Tverrfjelet Villreinsenter that we brought with us on our holiday. We left him in Storebaug TB Hotel.

Zane, guess who was my model?

Here is my version of the main character in G.E.N.I. Genetically Enhanced Natural Intelligence. Playing around with Corel Painter 11 I did some drawing and pasting. (Lighting is far from perfect but I tink it's...passable...)

And if anyone would care to make a guess who my model was? Please do so;)

Zane is currently in trouble again..."whadda you now"....Something happens that brings out the pattern in his skin. Giving more clues to his animal genes. I have lot's of ideas, but don't think I'll be able to fit them all in just one book! Some major editing to be done I guess.

Stay tuned for more..interesting... facts to come.
