Hi, will there be another book to follow ‘Spook Crew’? It did say “...To be continued...” at the very end of this story.

Hi there. I just stumbled upon one of your books and thought I’d check out what else you may have had in you ‘STORIES’ section - wow, there are lot!

So the 1st thing I’m hoping you might help with is the titles of two books that start two different series you’ve written. I wanted to ask which story is the first in the ‘Time Force’ series (is it the one with simply the title ‘Time Force’ with no designated numerical order?). The other book 1 I couldn’t seem to locate is the first book for the ‘Metal Cowboy’ series. Actually, to be truthful, my biggest problem was that because you have SOOO many books and there are A-LOT that kept catching my eye, so I must admit that as I was searching (and attempted a few times), I just kept getting side-tracked by yet another book that looked really good. And by the time I’d read its synopsis, saved it in my library or tried to find the first book of it’s series, I had totally forgotten the series name that I had originally started to search for 🤣! You seriously have such a vast selection! So If you could help out with the titles of Book 1 to the two series I mentioned, I’d greatly appreciate it.
Sorry, this message is getting long! But the 2nd thing I wanted to bring up (that I think is pretty important to point out) is the lack of # Tags you have for all your books/stories. I bring this up as I am a very avid reader on inkitt, (daily I’m on here and often for several hours at a time, sometimes the whole day, as my legs were damaged in a car accident several years ago and I must rest them several times a day and depending on how they decide to behave...anyway, I’m on here A Lot and have been for many years). As I said earlier, I literally stumbled upon one of your books and this is the very first of seen of your profile and books (and soo excited as you have many jumping out at me!). I also noticed that as yet you have few to no ratings or readers on a lot of your stories and this is where I want you to know just how important the # Tags are. To a prolific reader like myself, we go through a lot of books fast so are always searching for more (like addicts 🙄). This is likely the audience you want to attract because not only will we generally ‘Follow’ that author, are more likely to leave comments and ratings too but also, once we enjoy one of an authors books, we often troll through their profiles ‘Stories’ section and read all their books that attract us (and often if we’ve enjoyed a few or even just one of their books, we tend to give some of their other books a go - ones that may not usually appeal, be different genre’s or types of stories than what we generally look for. Now back to the Tags, the reason I say it’s so important is that we will ignore the site’s suggestions ( their always the same and most times we’ve already read them, so we generally make great use of the SEARCH feature. And this is where, if your books have those same Tags, they will gain a great deal more exposure to readers. What I have also seen from other authors whose books frequently appear in my searches is that they will literally list anything and everything as a Tag for their stories. It will include all its genre’s ( as often a book/story may cross several of them Romance/Action/Mystery/Scifi, etc. They also include details like location (small town/big city/far, etc); who it’s aimed audience is (teen/ adult/mature, etc); the vibe of the story (dark/light-hearted/humour, etc); character’s characteristics (bad-boy/sassy/sarcastic/shy/virgin/wall-flower/outsider, etc); and any other features that may not have been mentioned, or as a reminder of what has, that make this story what it is - so not just #paranormal, but what type (zombies, ghosts or unknown entities); things like if it has a Happy Ending (HEA), or emotional, sad, cute, etc. Also, as a reader, if we come across a Tag an author has included that we have not searched before but is what we like (eg, #paranormal romance), we only need to click on that Tag and ALL other stories/books, whether short or long, complete or ongoing, will all be listed for us to peruse. Hence, if your story also has the same Tag, again it is getting more exposure. Also, some authors go as far as writing the same Tag but in different ways. One example is #science fiction. It will also be listed in the Tags as #sciencefiction; #scifi; #scyfi; #scify; #sci-fi..... you get my drift. Just do some searches yourself using a Tag you would likely use on one of your own stories and see what other Tags they have also used, the variety, and the amount (some are crazy with up to 200+ - I kid you not!!). Anyway, I know it would mean more time and extra effort (especially since you have sooo many - hopefully you can Copy/Paste for books in a series - don’t know, I just read here, definitely no talent to write!!!). But if it is your wish (it may not be, and that’s OK), to get more feedback, constructive criticism, suggestions, etc., as well as increase your exposure and thus your reading numbers as well as followers, it’s definitely something I would highly encourage you to do. I’m sure if other readers were made aware of your books, you’d see a marked increase in their reading, especially having so many in such variety. Anyway, sorry it’s such a long message but I wish you the best and Happy Writing!
