Found my next read. I love looking for the highly rated, but obscure classics, especially in the sci-fi genre. For those who enjoy dysopian, futuristic, novels that are full of end of the word potential, this is worth looking into. The novel is called Level 7, and was written in 1959 by Mordecai Roshwald. If you like books such as 1984, The Road, Swan Song, I Am Legand and the like, you may wish to give it a try. For any babbler interested, I have this tough to find novel in epub format as well as many other formats should you wish a copy.

If you're looking for proofreaders, crossy, I'll volunteer. I am a little wrong in the head, I think, but take serious joy from proofing :)

the great thing about a short story collection is i can just keep adding untill it feel right, however, publishers generally agree to not exceed 350 pages OR 80,000 words, give or take, for a single book if you are new to the game.

Rule #1: never rush a book. Rule #2: Never expect it to make money; if it does, consider it a happy surprise:)

Rule #3: Write for one person, and not the world.
