Hello! I've been away for a while. I appreciate the support and kind comments that I found upon checking in today. I know it's been a long time. I hope to be able to dedicate more time to my story soon, so that I can edit it and finish it up. Thanks for reading, commenting, and adding Murder in Heliopolis to your reading lists. I really appreciate it! ^^

That's 11 chapters of Murder in Heliopolis that are out so far! I hope you've been enjoying them. The book has 29 chapters in total, and I'm excited to share them all with you.

Murder in Heliopolis has been released!
Every day for the rest of the month, I will be sharing one chapter of my solarpunk murder mystery, Murder in Heliopolis.
Give it a read, and if you enjoy it, let me know in the comments! :D

☀️ Tomorrow is the day! ☀️
Murder in Heliopolis is a solarpunk murder mystery that takes place in a futuristic Earth. Last time I shared the blurb. This time, I'll share an excerpt:

"Laith’s finger hovered uncertainly over the screen of his Slate as though to do something – but what? What was the procedure for an unknown suspect? Was it even possible for someone to get past PATET’s all-seeing eye?

"Every single person who stepped foot in Heliopolis was introduced to PATET’s system. PATET practically ran the megalopolis – it watched and monitored, identified and reported, managed communications and various public processes, and so much more. Everyone was connected to PATET, one way or another.




"So how could it be that the fingerprints on the hilt of the knife belonged to an unknown entity?

"What was going on here?"

Hope you enjoy the story!

☀️ March 19 is right around the corner! ☀️
If you'd like to try out a new read this weekend, Murder in Heliopolis is a solarpunk murder mystery that might just be the thing you're looking for.
Excited to start releasing chapters. I'm releasing one chapter per day starting March 19 😄

Just found the @coalitioncommunity and I'm so excited to check out all of their programs and contests! Really cool to see writers taking the initiative to create a more sustainable and engaging writing community. 😄

Thanks for the follow.

I like the 'marketing/promo you are using for your book, Hybal. Will look out for it in two days time. I agree with you about a platform's team needing to be aware of and deal with issues on their site. As for self promo and popularity contests, it would seem to me to be the business that writers can't help but become involved in. How else do we get a reader to decide to pick up our work? There is a whole industry out there in the world of books, authors and readers focussed on how to get someone to pick up and read what someone has written, an industry willing to invest money in something for which they think they can find an audience that will buy into it.
Good luck with 'Murder in Heliopolis'. Will look forward to reading it. Can't promise a review though!

☀️ Two days left until Murder in Heliopolis is released here on Inkitt! ☀️
All the chapters have been scheduled, and there's some bonus content at the end of the book, too, so I'm excited to get to the point where I can start sharing that! I wish I could add images onto my chapters, as some might include illustrations, but alas...

Thanks for that, Hyba. I think I agree with you. I was on a site some years ago (authonomy, now ended) where it was very much I'll like yours if you like mine and social media leads, as each story tried to make its way up the greasy pole to the top so that it might get considered by a publisher that ran the site. A lot of it seems to be like that. There were some good pieces of writing though and some interesting writers, if you could find your way through it all. Been on Wattpad and found one or two pieces of writing worth reading but gave up. Even found soft/hard porn 'novels' on the poetry category and got into a rather irate conversation with someone, who presumed that I could not read because the main character in the story liked poetry so, of course, the porn novel she had written should be in the poetry category.
Just looking for some 'constructive feedback' for Last Things or some insight into where I have gone wrong.
