You are totally fantastic, Daniel!! :) How can I ever thank you enough for backing my memoirs/testimony book? :) God bless you. :) Love, Susie :) p.s. I just looked to see if I had ******-ed your book & it is ******-rated (6 gold ******'s) :) Every ****** -ing & backing more than 24 hours moves our books up authonomy's lists. :) I want to ask you if you could please keep my book on your bookshelf because I'm #5 on the editor's desk & have to be in the top 5 to be chosen, the end of January :) - I had a mini-stroke Nov. 10 with slurred speech for an hour & numbness of tongue still & over 24 smaller ones where I couldn't speak since & I"d sure like to cross the finish line of the editor's desk after 10 months trying on authonomy. :) Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me :) - I have lost 3 sisters to strokes & my last sister, Mary had 2 heart attacks this past year.

Hello readers,
Have just uploaded chapter 12. Sorry has been a while, I've been busy an distracted. lol.
It's also a long chapter with quite a bit in it and I've had to think hard about the information I wanted to give the reader, plus how the action unfolded in a plausible sequence so that that information could be revealed correctly.
Phew, did I just say that?
I think I may have to chop this chapter in half at a later date/edit.
Please enjoy, chapter 13 is on it's way.
:)

The first chapter engages the reader and builds a believable world from the start. Backed

Hi,
I'm having issues connecting from the my computer to the authonomy website. I have more chapters to go so please hang in there. There are 24 chapters plus a sequel which is being developed now.
Thank you very much for the support, it means a lot to me. :)
Cheers,
Daniel James Duxfield
Peacekeeper

A well written and compelling read so far!

I'm enjoying this and thought I'd drop you a comment whilst I read. My kind of book. I tend to forget about typos if I'm enjoying myself, which I am. More comments to follow as I read on. On my brand new shelf

Good old fashioned sci-fi brought up to date nicely. I like the clear, purposeful purity of your intent for this story - it is, above all else, a tale of war in the oldest tradition. And like the most ancient campfire stories of heroes and battles it evokes strong emotions. I was worried at first about the huge, long, apostrophe'd sci-fi names, but I'm guilty of the same thing >:)> at least with the one character who's an interdimensional demon...
WAIT UP... you're from New Zealand?
Message me ASAP as I'm also a kiwi and this country needs good writers who aren't stuffy old bores!

Yay! Have just figured out how to add books to my watch list. :)
My girlfriend spend a half hour figuring out the ranking and backing system. I'm never very good at that stuff and I'm glad she has the patience to work it all out.
It's good too because she's my number1 fan and likes to hear how I'm going on the site.

Cracking with suspense and intrigue. You hit the ground running with this fantastic read.

Surely backed. You do make the genre proud

A very entertaining read.

BACKED

Hello Daniel, I can't really say much about your book as I am not a fan of Sci-Fi novels(only prefering the movie kind in that genre) but I was hooked by your pitch, and was able to read the first chapter which is the most I am able to read at the moment as time cannot allow me to read further, but if this chapter is anything to go by, then you have actually landed a good one here. I can actually see this made into a movie. Tha fact that your story flows well and that the narrative and dialogue are quite realistic is a bonus. Your sense of imagiination is a credit to you. BACKED for its merit.
Cheers and good luck with its publication.

Than you Pamela. I appreciate the feedback. I've worked really hard on the story and I'm glad that it's paying off. Funny you should mention that it reads like a movie, because a do dable in script writing from time to time.
Thank you for backing it.

Dear Daniel, I love the suspense at the end of chapter 5 :) - the crash :) - now what? :) Your pitch prepared me for your adventurous space travels & your tight paragraphs & dialogue moved me right through your story. :) I love that you put me right there with you in your story to feel what your characters were feeling. :) I've backed your book :) - could you please take just a moment to back my memoirs book? :) Thanks so very much. :) Love, Susie :)

Thanks Suzie, I'm glad you're enjoying it. More chapters to follow.
Thank you again.

You have written a very interesting and unique storyline, which I do like, and your work is character rich. Your use of imagery is excellent. The dialogue is realistic and well written and the pace of your story flows well. All of this along with your descriptive writing makes your science fiction adventure a pleasure to read. Backed.

Thanks Andrew,
That's just the feedback I was hoping for. Thank you very much.
Those are the main things that I needed to know. Up until now I wasn't sure if it was all working together and was a bit cklunky. I'm always concerned the the 'voices' of my characters don't come through enough, I'm glad it does.
I'm glad you're liking it.
Thanks.

This has the hallmarks of a well-plotted and involving space yarn. You do need an edit, spotted a few typos myself and I'm not good at it eg.
spun on his heel/heal
Also, I am told that agents are not fond of names with apostophes in them so you may wish to consider de-apostophising some of yours. Just see if they really need them :)

Thanks, your feedback is great.
It does need a 'proper' edit by a professional editor. I will admit. I'm going through it now & giving it a polish, but I do miss the odd typo. Also my writing software does swap between New Zealand and American spelling, sometimes without me knowing. lol. I figure that would be solved when it goes to print, i.e; English in the UK, Americanese in the US. I will consider the apostrophe issue.
Thank you for backing it. :)

Hi! I like your premise.

There are quite a few typos in this opening prologue, "fed" not feed, "it had to" not too, "I destest the cryptic answers you give me, nephew" no 'with' is necessary. There are a couple of others that escape me at this time.

I think you need to tighten this up. Show us his anger not tell it. It reads a bit like a treatment rather than a novel. At the moment I don't really feel for him, although I know I am meant to.

Having said that, i think it's worth backing. The storyline is worth it. Good luck.

This is probably the forth draft of this book. It has a map which I'd like to include in the published edition. (I can't understand why there aren't more maps in sci-fi books. They put them in every high-fantasy?)
Anyway a sequel is planned which I have just started on and hopefully a series of Peacekeeper books to follow. Following Ellerin'yan Nan'Dusku and Alexander Leto. That would depend on you guys and Harper Collins. :)
I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks.

Sci-fi is not my genre but did enjoy the read
Good, solid narration and realistic sounding dialogue. Wish you’d develop your MC more…reader want to fall for the character which must grab their attention.
You have a good, strong voice which I like…so I’m backing your work.
Good luck.

PE. Could you pls check mine? Comment/backing will be appreciated

Daniel James Duxfield,
Peacekeeper; Vengeance has an imaginative, original, and compelling plot. Ellerinn'yann Nan'Dusku has quite an adventure in store and the reader has a good sense of this character's emotional makeup from the opening paragraphs. I look forward to seeing the complete work. Backed with enthusiasm.

:) comment to follow - read & commented on 18 hours. :)
