Oct 2025 The Artifact is available. The first book in the Secrets of the Halcyon Galleria is now available on Amazon. Many thanks to everyone who helped get this launched. Book two is underway and I have created several versions of the plot points and next, I will outline the book. Yeah, I am one of those guys who likes to outline the book before starting. It just seems right to me. That may come from many years of working on very complex software systems and needing to diagram the data and control flows as well as writing pseudo code to use as an outline for the software. I will keep you posted on my progress.
Criticism is another thing from software development that I learned to use as a self improvement tool. It took a long time to not feel the anger from it, and use criticism as a guide to fix what I am doing wrong. Okay, sometimes I still feel the anger, but I usually catch myself and look at it from the other person's perspective and try to see what they are seeing. Not saying I always agree with them, but one who does not identify their mistakes and shortcommings can not overcome them.
The preceeding paragraph notwithstanding, If you would like to send me an email and tell me what a wonderful book it is, that would be incredible. You will probably also want to send me a list of things I can do to improve the next book. Seriously, I would greatly appreciate that as well because I want to provide readers with the best experience possible.
Please leave me a review on Amazon and if you feel like it, you can email me personally at dennis@dennismustardauthor.com.
