You made me smile. I started off feeling SubStack out with my Cybershamanic superpowers, and once I had established a resonance that seemed right, I had the idea of doing something I should have done last year, after finishing treatments on 7 one hour episodes for the Xelexnia series. Thing is, the series doesn’t deal with large aspects of the story, and in the deal, where my book was optioned, we say that the book will be available. But after having co-writers and script editors and my fellow Exec Producers input on the original material, the story evolved in the most awesome way, to a point where the book needed to be re-written. Now as a writer I spent decades locked in a dark room while my motorbike battery went flat, so now at 75 yo, I questioned whether I had the go to stay loaded for the six months-year it would take. So I did nothing from August, when I finished the 150 page treatment, till March, when I was going up the wall until I hit Substack. Phew, now I get to unload a never before seen Trilogy in the vein of all my favorite authors wrapped up in an Afrofuturistic cosmic legacy. And the authors I look up to are no less than: Jack Vance, CJ Cherryh, Michael Moorcock, Roger Zelazny, Dan Simmons, Peter F Hamilton, with nods to Hunter S Thomson, Terence McKenna and John Lennon. You should start at Chapter 1 - or even before that. It’s all under ‘Chronicles of Xanctu’, on my home page, or start here.
Wow, what a massive production of high quality sci-fi novels and stories. My compliments to the author and a question, where to start reading? 👍

Happy Fathers day! My kids and grandkids await!
Excited!
Xanctu!
Thanks Steve. I wrote a very long note in reply to you. It went to notes, or it hasn''t replicated.
