Hey there! So, I've been writing a novel for the last six years.  The book is titled Flash, the first novel of The Forever Saga. It's a science fiction story involving a father and son, who seek to reconcile as they lead others against a hidden enemy in a final war. Here's the series tagline: An ancient enemy rises, A lost hero finds his way, and his son brings hope to a world on the verge of rebirth. The Forever Saga is the beginning of my writing career, and after years of writing and editing on my own, I'm proud to premiere it to you and other friends and family - and I'm offering you an early copy for helping me launch Flash!

It took me longer than I would have liked, but I just recently finished reading Flash! And I was thoroughly impressed! I loved it!
Can't wait for Book 2!

I wrote a review. C:
Hey I saw that! Thanks much, you are the 30th Amazon review! I thought you did a great job with it. You pointed out a few flaws that have been recurring in many reviews, and I'm currently editing the book one more time.

I just wanted to know if I could do anything to make the hockey scenes more exciting to non sports fans, and/or make it more vital to the plot. Any feedback you can provide would be a huge help to me and to future books in this series.

Thanks again!
