It's been a while... too long in fact. I've missed these
little get-togethers - the warm sense of camaraderie from my readers that makes
the writing process worthwhile, and even the marketing side! Life happens and
gets in the way of our passion projects, but they don't go anywhere. They're
patient, happy to wait. As it was with Neon Driver, which - as I wrote the
outline for the story - I realised would actually only need to be one book, and
not a trilogy. So Neon's trilogy of trilogies is now a 2.1 of trilogies. This
would also allow me to move on to The Risen Part 3, which a few have asked
about. So with that said - Neon Driver can now be preordered on Amazon -<a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Z7CNVYZ" target="_blank"> here for USA -</a> <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09Z7CNVYZ" target="_blank">here for UK</a>. If you're somewhere else in the world you should be
redirected.

I can see that."<br />"What'll it be this evening? Spa? Shopping? Murder?" Apex wondered.<br />"It's a little early in the day for murder." I engaged the clutch and gassed the V8, orchestrating the pistons to a grumble in low gear.<br />Across the avenue, Lucyna’s autocar appeared from the parking lot beneath central tower and merged seamlessly into the westbound traffic. Apex locked on to her nondescript grey box of a vehicle while I inched forward, indicating to the traffic AI that I intended to join. Approaching autocars slowed, their inhabitants lost to their own worlds, and I slipped smoothly into lane.<br />“Bring her up.”<br />A blue circle projected onto the windshield, highlighting Lucyna’s autocar four vehicles ahead. “Tracking,” said Apex. “We’re hardly discreet here.”<br />“I’ll keep our distance.”<br />“I don’t see any other customs.”<br />“You won’t at Central,” I replied. The leather of my driving gloves squealed against the steering wheel as I gripped tight. I flicked my eyes to the mirrors. My foot hovered frustrated over the gas. Thirty-five miles-per-hour felt like a crawl. There were enough customs on the roads these days that Apex wouldn’t stand out too much – created in garages mostly out of the rebuilt areas of low town where once a fire had ravaged out of control and burned almost everything to the ground. Brick and wood rising in the New Dawn to replace the smoking ruins, the tombs. And within them; customs shops, most of them small scale, like mine. Each with an artist-in-residence working on something to tear at the tarmac, or rip through the sand outside the dome in the Elite’s races.<br />Apex was my singular creation.<br />Years of devotion to the dismantling of electronics, the recycling of engine components, the moulding and remoulding of the chassis and its compartment elements. Nights of neglect, where the shadows of regret roamed, slowly becoming the black matte of Apex’s skin, milking into the windshield and glass.<br />In Central, Apex accelerated, screams internal sundered loud.<br />“No, Castor,” said Apex.<br />Lucyna’s autocar turned into 45<sup>th</sup> northbound, the three between us all continuing ahead. With the sun glazing the edges of the Trans-port Tower’s gleaming fascia, Apex followed at a discreet distance, my foot daring over the accelerator but a picture of stillness for now. We drove towards the orange globe, filtered and swimming towards dusk on the other side of the dome. We did not have a good relationship – the sun and I – I kept my focus on Lucyna’s rear, the square-box of her coffin.<br />Heads bobbed atop high-level pedestrian walkways flanking the skyrises, concrete and steel bridges criss-crossing at intervals and rending relief from the dull sun. “Reduce opacity.”<br />The blue circle around Lucyna’s autocar dimmed, along with the windshield.<br />“Everything okay?” asked Apex.<br />“Peachy.”<br />“This can wait if you’re suffering.”<br /><em>Suffering.</em> The edges of my driving gloves rubbed against skin, exposed knuckles white. I relaxed and blood returned, and then I removed the gloves. The steering wheel hide was smooth underpalm. Every bit of Apex’s architecture pulsed through it.<br />“I am always suffering.”<br />“You lie.” Apex did not have a face, just a standard control unit lifted from an autocar that was involved in an accident years ago. Detached from Neon’s grid, with expanded capacity, he was no longer an autonomous drone. He was <em>more</em>. The smell of hours spent buffing leather. Of chicken-flavoured noodles. Of lemonese suds washed into the carpet of the footwells. The way the knob of the gearstick was moulded to my palm. How it shifted with fresh gearbox fluid changed every fortnight; the flywheel and clutch plate dismantled and cleaned and put back like new. The carbon-fibre dashboard sweeping in a clean line above the self-contained steering column, backlit projections thrown up onto the winds<a name="_GoBack" style="color: #00add8; text-decoration-line: underline; text-size-adjust: 100%;"></a>creen. Synthetic rubber tyres with inch-deep grooves and two-inch wide diamonds laced across its face, specially moulded for asphalt and the day we would finally hit the sands. 19-inch alloy wheels with five, thick spokes. A body of deep, reflectionless black.<br />“You lie,” repeated Apex, his green soundbar emanating from the lower-central portion of the windscreen.<br />“There is always suffering.” I can see a corner of myself in the rearview mirror; long, dark hair, greased by oil and bodysweat. A shadow of a beard.<br />“You could always give me away – end <em>my</em> suffering.”<br />“Mute yourself.” There was nothing to say. Just Lucyna and her damaged autocar heading north.</div></div><br /><div><br /></div>Adam J Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05371856206189531044noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7835280137967159397.post-41266270082631574652021-04-01T19:36:00.004+01:002021-04-01T19:36:44.961+01:00Book giveaway bonanza before Easter<p> </p><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: black; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnTextBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnTextBlockInner" style="padding-top: 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnTextContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; max-width: 100%; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px 18px 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word;" valign="top"><div style="text-align: justify;">Hello one and all! A bit of a bonanza this week as I sign off before Easter for a few weeks. Hopefully by the next time you hear from me there will be a new book to scream and shout about! Until then, thank you for your support, thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy this taster below. I've made some titles free or discounted where Kindle still allowed me to. Plus, there's the usual promo links.<br /><br />Things inevitably quieten while my newsletter isn't heading out (I don't run much advertising at the moment) so if you do enjoy any of my reads, please consider leaving a review. It helps exposure and helps keep up my momentum! Much appreciated, all. Stay safe and well, enjoy Easter, and see you on the other side.</div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse;

If you're a fan of the Stephen King world you'll enjoy this series - season one had The Outsider vibes, and a creepy Bill Skarsgaard. Though I wish that season had a clearer resolution, perhaps clarified with season two. That said, season two with Annie Wilkes is going nicely, and the Laughing Place episode was a great one for character study, with an ending that had a heavy impact. Recommended!<br /><br />Please check below for this week's other recommendations, offers and promos. My title Plains of Ion above is discounted by 67% - click the image to link through. As always, most titles are on Audible and in Kindle Unlimited.

Neon City, the 1st in the Neon City trilogy and book 4 in the overall Neon arc, is currently free, and for the next 4 or 5 days (I forget!) Click the cover above to be redirected! A fave review:<br /><br /><strong>This trilogy starts after Neon Sands. Neon city is a city of Hierarchy and the top level keeps a boot on the lower levels. This is a revolution in the making. The characters are fleshed out to the max. You learn to know them well. The plot is the good as it keeps the stories tied together. There is suspense, fighting, and plans that go sometimes right and sometimes wrong. The writing is very well done which keeps you involved and not left hanging. All 3 books are exciting and you certainly get your money's worth with this trilogy.</strong><br /><br />If you pick it up, thank you! Enjoy!<br /><br />Some of you may be wondering about Neon Driver, book number 7 in the Neon arc. It's coming along. It has a change in approach, inspired by the first person narrative of The Risen Part 2. I wanted to really get into this character's head, so it's likewise first person, with deeper psychological exploration and added cyberpunk elements - at least that's the plan. As always, no character is black and white.

I'm already tingling with excitement for the next stage: the delivery of the rocket that will take the samples from Mars back up into orbit! Only oh 6 or 7 years to wait - argh. Fingers crossed I'm around for it! :D<br /><br />As you may have noticed already, up above is a link for free audiobook codes for The Risen part 2. Now, ideally, this is not the best order to release them in, but I couldn't wait any longer. Who knows how much longer ACX may take to approve that!

She did not know her parents, but they are there every day; in the mirror, in her burning eyes, in her twisted ways.<br /><br /><strong>And in those dead still roaming the Welsh hillsides and towns.</strong><br /><br />From the farm to the distant sea, mutates and apex must learn to fear her. While the rest must learn to accept her.<br /><br /><strong>Or else...</strong></div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnButtonBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: black; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnButtonBlockOuter"><tr><td align="center" class="mcnButtonBlockInner" style="padding: 0px 18px 18px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnButtonContentContainer" style="background-color: #bd6c16; border-radius: 4px; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td align="center" class="mcnButtonContent" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; padding: 18px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="middle"><a class="mcnButton " href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/15365276.Adam_J_Smith" style="color: white; display: block; font-weight: bold; line-height: 16px; text-decoration-line: none; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank" title="Click here to connect to Goodreads to review.

(Friday is on the brain, it's been a long old week.) But you know what was Pretty, Pretty, Pretty, Good, (too much Curb Your Enthusiasm) and that was Daniel Barnett's The Flashlighters. <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3801913764?book_show_action=false&from_review_page=1" style="color: #00add8; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank">I gave it a review here</a>. I wouldn't wholeheartedly recommend it if I didn't mean it, he's one of the best Indie authors out there.<br /><br />I'm now reading something from a new author, Chris Scubli, a sci-fi space opera, which promises to be good. It's so new there aren't even any links yet, but once there are I'll get a review up! In the meantime, for the next few days, The Risen part 1 is available for free to download. It's also standalone, though part 2 I believe does fill the lore and expand on the world. (Just in case that's something that puts you off.)<br /><br />Happy reading all.</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnButtonBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: black; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnButtonBlockOuter"><tr><td align="center" class="mcnButtonBlockInner" style="padding: 0px 18px 18px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnButtonContentContainer" style="background-color: #bd6c16; border-radius: 4px; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td align="center" class="mcnButtonContent" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; padding: 18px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="middle"><a class="mcnButton " href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/15365276.Adam_J_Smith" style="color: white; display: block; font-weight: bold; line-height: 16px; text-decoration-line: none; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank" title="Click here to connect to Goodreads to review.

What's been keeping you going this week? For me it has been a busy one at work, hence this newsletter heading out a little later than normal. Maybe it'll find you nestled in bed. Maybe looking for a read? The Neon City boxset is currently discounted if you fancy a mix of action, cyberpunk, and societal dismantling. Just click the cover above!<br /><br />Also this week, the awesome <a href="https://twitter.com/byMorganWright" style="color: #00add8; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank">Morgan Wright</a> very kindly animated my Neon Zero cover. Unfortunately as it's animated I can't share directly, but you can<a href="https://twitter.com/AJSAuthor/status/1357428852411293696" style="color: #00add8; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank"> see it on Twitter here</a>. There's two, and I'm not sure which I prefer!<br /><br />As always, stay safe, and happy reading!</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnButtonBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: black; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnButtonBlockOuter"><tr><td align="center" class="mcnButtonBlockInner" style="padding: 0px 18px 18px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnButtonContentContainer" style="background-color: #bd6c16; border-radius: 4px; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td align="center" class="mcnButtonContent" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; padding: 18px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="middle"><a class="mcnButton " href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/15365276.Adam_J_Smith" style="color: white; display: block; font-weight: bold; line-height: 16px; text-decoration-line: none; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank" title="Click here to connect to Goodreads to review.

As the weekend draws near, here's your pick-me-up in the form of literary delights. A great short story is available from the link above. Plus a host more below! Be sure to check them out!<br /><br />I'd like to throw out some thank yous to everyone who requested an audiobook code last week. As a writer, it's a thrill hearing your own words read back, and sometimes they even sound okay! You listeners even seem to think so!<br /><br /><em>"Neon City: A Cyberpunk Trilogy (Neon, Book 4), my fifth read from author Adam J. Smith. 6-hours 3-minutes/213-pages, a bit more graphically adult in content than other books in the series. Steven Miller's narration adds to a good book's excellence. I look forward to more from this author. "I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review."</em><br /><br />Thank you, Roger! Book 6 is nearing acceptance (I hope) and The Risen series is in acceptance again after some editing, and sounds amazing. Can't wait to get you codes for these!<br /><br />I've finished A Feast For Crows! Want to throw me, and others, a few obscure book recommendations? The Indie-r, the better!

Welcome to a 2021 filled with... hmm... let's take a gander around. Masks? Yes... the Year of the Mask. The Year of Outdoor Exercise. The Year of Defeating the Virus! Forgive my attitude - it's hard to stay positive while the UK plunges towards the worst COVID death rate per capita, IN THE WORLD! Rule Bri-Cronyism!<br /><br />Anyway - do you like outdoor exercise? I've taken to long walks and hikes, enjoying an audiobook along the way. Click on the images below for a FREE audiobook code. Neon City #1 and #2 are brand new out, with #3 in the approval stage and due soon. These two follow on from the Neon Sands trilogy, which I'll also link to the audiobook codes below in case you haven't listened/read yet. Neon City follows, but Neon Sands 1-3 aren't essential reading for it, though they do fill in the background pieces. <br /><br />There will be more soon! Check out my<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Adam-J-Smith/e/B01ITQM3UG/" style="color: #00add8; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank"> Amazon page </a>if you haven't already, to see if there's anything that takes your fancy. Otherwise - speak soon!</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%;

With so many new subs it seemed like a good week to highlight the fact that the Neon series prequel, Neon Zero, is permafree and available from Amazon, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble. Click the box above! Back to discounts and offers on my other titles next week!<br /><br />The Risen audiobook is with ACX at the moment for approval. They seem to have upped their game, so there might be codes available for that soon. Aria Gray did a great job at narration, performing the spoken parts; strange to listen to as a writer, but very enjoyable.<br /><br />On the reading front, I'll be on A Feast For Crows by GRRM for a good while yet. I tend not to read quickly when writing. It was however my birthday recently, and I received The Curry Guy Bible, which I highly recommend if you are a curryhead like me. Below is my maiden recipe attempt, Lollipop Chicken.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img data-file-id="5446249" height="225" src="https://mcusercontent.com/4a73c83a8767c4a75a2f2872a/_compresseds/9c4038a0-0ce8-490e-8772-8d2111cb0bb1.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 225px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 300px;" width="300" /></div><div>Any Six Feet Under fans here? I'm into the final season. With a few years behind me now, since watching it for the first time in the early 2000s, two things strike me - it's a lot bleaker than I even remember. Maybe I focused on the dark humour before, but now, with so many excellently written dramadies since, it's less humour and more drama. It's great how a show about death can shine a light upon life. The second point is the character writing is even better than I remember, BUT a little too on the nose at times, with its convenient death-of-the-weeks. Still, hankies at the ready for THAT ending.<br /><br />Another viewing pleasure this week was The Exorcist at the cinema, to support the cinema, but also to see this film - one of my favourites - on the big screen. The visual was great as always, but the sound was on another level. By far the best way to see it.<br /><br />Anyway, I've rambled on enough.

Did you take advantage of the audiobook codes last week? Thank you if so - I hope you enjoy listening, I think Stephen did a great job. A few reviews in have been very positive, so doubly thanks. If you've listened, or have read the first trilogy, the follow-up trilogy is now on offer for a few days starting with an 81% discount. Just click on the image above!<br /><br />Any Office Space fans here? I stumbled upon Loudermilk on Amazon, which takes Ron Livingston's office-clenched goof and adds angst and alcoholism, and makes for an enjoyable watch. That's my recommendation of the week! Take a look at the following giveaways and titles, and enjoy the rest of your week :)</div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnImageBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageBlockInner" style="padding: 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnImageContent" style="padding: 0px 9px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><a class="" href="https://storyoriginapp.com/to/gxoewH0" style="text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank" title=""><img align="center" alt="" class="mcnImage" src="https://mcusercontent.com/4a73c83a8767c4a75a2f2872a/images/ea34e20e-0381-4b5a-8b0c-a13d048f87fd.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: inline !important; height: auto; max-width: 1500px; outline: none; padding-bottom: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: bottom;" width="564" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageCardBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnImageCardBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageCardBlockInner" style="padding: 9px 18px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageCardLeftContentOuter" style="border-collapse: collapse; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td align="center" class="mcnImageCardLeftContentInner" style="padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageCardLeftImageContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 200px;"><tbody><tr><td align="right" class="mcnImageCardLeftImageContentE2E " style="padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><a class="" href="https://storyoriginapp.com/swaps/0fa557d2-07e1-11eb-90b2-f39df43a8b07" style="text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank" title=""><img alt="" class="mcnImage" src="https://mcusercontent.com/4a73c83a8767c4a75a2f2872a/images/25d31bcd-7230-421c-9991-3915d148737b.jpg" style="border-radius: 9%; border: 0px; height: auto; max-width: 200px; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: bottom;" width="200" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageCardLeftTextContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 346px;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" style="color: #f2f2f2; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 18px; padding-top: 18px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word;" valign="top"><p style="line-height: 21px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><span style="color: black;"><strong>Two students will compete.

Thanks for subscribing! There's a few newbies here, so I'll add a little bio down below for you to get to know me a little better. Just know I send these in rounds of ten, and always try to have at least one offer on my books per week. This week kicks off with the above open offer for audible review codes for the Neon Sands trilogy. Just click on your title to request a code! The follow-up trilogy, Neon City, will also have codes later down the line, (but I would check for reviews first, just to be fair!)

A borderline introvert, though the truth is I just tend to prefer my own company! So it's a good job I enjoy writing. I believe in socialist values and support Nottingham Forest. I have a cat named Phoebe. My favourite books have been The Shining, Virgin Suicides, Middlesex, His Dark Materials, the Dark Tower series, and books by Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins. I studied Philosophy and Creative Writing at Glamorgan University, and try to incorporate moral and philosophical elements in my own writing. My next book is Neon Driver, and for this, I will be diving more into the psyche and the murky waters between right and wrong. My last book was The Risen Part 2, a first-person narrative exploring an apocalyptic Wales from the viewpoint of a not-quite human girl called Ffion. I write listening to synthwave or soundtracks like Blade Runner and Last of Us. My last gig was Arcade Fire. My top 3 movies are The Shining, Donnie Darko, and Killer Klowns from Outer Space (ha!).<br /><br />#amreading : If It Bleeds - Stephen King<br />#amwriting : Neon Driver (and this NL)<br />#amwatching : I Vitelloni</span></div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageCardBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse;

I have an easy reading recommendation for you this week - Lullaby by Daniel Barnett.

Spoiler, the sun has disappeared, and strange goings-on are a-foot, wrapped around get writing. <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><img data-file-id="5383457" height="150" src="https://mcusercontent.com/4a73c83a8767c4a75a2f2872a/images/c1555d44-9de0-49f5-98fc-b12463011085.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: 150px; margin: 0px; outline: none; width: 100px;" width="100" /></div>On the personal side, it's hard to believe it's almost September. Where has the time gone? Adventures to South Wales aside, we've been tucked inside working from home, wondering where the summer sun is. I'm sure my youthful summers had blue skies. There'll be a small break in emails for a while as we move house and deal with all that excitement, and then it'll be back to the grindstone, and back to the writing.<br /><br />Speak soon!</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnButtonBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnButtonBlockOuter"><tr><td align="center" class="mcnButtonBlockInner" style="padding: 0px 18px 18px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnButtonContentContainer" style="background-color: #2baadf; border-radius: 4px; text-size-adjust: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td align="center" class="mcnButtonContent" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; padding: 18px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="middle"><a class="mcnButton " href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/15365276.Adam_J_Smith" style="color: white; display: block; font-weight: bold; line-height: 16px; text-decoration-line: none; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank" title="Click here to connect to Goodreads to review.

But this nagging thought really does ring true - reading Barnett is like reading a professionally produced title; something that has been through the wringer and honed with the help of an army of agents and editors. It's easy, colloquial, the best mix of POV and stream of consciousness, spotted with action, filling rivers of long paragraphs where each is a mini-journey.</p><p></p><blockquote><p>"Mariah thought of those fleeting moments out in the desert when he had almost seemed awake. The warning squeeze of his fingers on her stomach before she found the plane. The long stare after she woke from her nightmare. The name, his daughter's name, whispered longingly in the dark."</p><p></p></blockquote><p>This is book 2 in the Nightmareland series, and the sun is still gone. Night reigns. John and Mariah are fleeing across the desert, (sans Gunslinger) but this is very much Mariah's chapter - her emotional journey as she struggles to get to grips with her own changing body in a world turned upside down. Her chance to find strength, both emotional and physical, instead of relying on John. It's a good decision, artistically, as it allows her character to grow and become one that shares this story, rather than being part of John's. Not that she was secondary in part 1, but this feels <i>more</i>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1593456101l/54325234._SY475_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="316" height="194" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1593456101l/54325234._SY475_.jpg" width="130" /></a></div><p></p><blockquote>"<i>Which side of the aisle had they been on?</i> Mariah wondered. <i>And who got the window?</i> Probably the boy, she decided. Yes, they would have given the boy the window. She could tell it was a boy because of the red sneakers and the Spiderman pajamas. She could also tell he was still breathing. She covered her mouth and moaned."</blockquote><p>It's horror in the vein of Joe Hill, threaded with paranormal elements, in good All-American settings. With unsettling images and an unflinching narrative, the characterisation leads the way, so much so that you can almost forget the lights have been turned off. But how can the moon still be visible without a sun? This is one of the mysteries I can't wait to resolve. The biggest negative? The whole series isn't ready to go right now!</p><p></p>Adam J Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05371856206189531044noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7835280137967159397.post-53477351237215446022020-08-12T11:32:00.004+01:002020-08-12T11:32:28.370+01:00Neon City - 99p all week<p> </p><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageCardBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: black; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnImageCardBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageCardBlockInner" style="padding: 9px 18px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageCardTopContent" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; border: 10px dashed rgb(170, 126, 228); text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" style="color: #f00606; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 21px; padding: 18px 18px 0px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word;" valign="top" width="528">Now 99p - Join Xi as he dives into the mysteries of Neon CIty</td></tr><tr><td align="center" class="mcnImageCardTopImageContent" style="padding: 9px 18px 18px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><a class="" href="http://getbook.at/amazon-neon-city" style="text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank" title=""><img alt="" class="mcnImage" src="https://mcusercontent.com/4a73c83a8767c4a75a2f2872a/images/5d74647e-5233-4d84-9e61-f4995c000984.jpg" style="border-radius: 6%; border: 1px outset rgb(27, 25, 25); height: auto; max-width: 150px; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: bottom;" width="150" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: black; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnImageBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageBlockInner" style="padding: 9px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageContentContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnImageContent" style="padding: 0px 9px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><a class="" href="https://storyoriginapp.com/to/VxOazbj" style="text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank" title=""><img align="center" alt="" class="mcnImage" src="https://mcusercontent.com/4a73c83a8767c4a75a2f2872a/images/0163ca3f-c530-4d96-9cdb-2034e885d201.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: inline !important; height: auto; max-width: 1500px; outline: none; padding-bottom: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: bottom;" width="564" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageCardBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: black; text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnImageCardBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageCardBlockInner" style="padding: 9px 18px; text-size-adjust: 100%;" valign="top"><table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageCardTopContent" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; border: 10px dashed rgb(170, 126, 228); text-size-adjust: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" style="color: #181515; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; padding: 18px 18px 0px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: 100%; word-break: break-word;" valign="top" width="528"><strong>Free book!

In the meantime, another offer this week: 61% off the Neon City boxset. This continues the Neon series, so if you've read the first three, you're sure to enjoy this continuing story, with new and old characters, showing both the low-life and the high-life. Just click the link above.<br /><br />Caught an interesting film this week: Vast of the Night. A 50s-set, stylish little sci-fi. I was surprised it was the director's first film, definitely one to keep an eye on. A little nostalgia too, in the form of van Damme's old library of films. Gotta find some Timecop next!<br /><br />Enjoy all on offer here, including something from this<a href="https://storyoriginapp.com/to/7voYwFd" style="color: #00add8; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank"> list of FREE speculative stories</a>. :)</div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse;

Why am I watching Guga on YouTube? It just makes me so hungry. Why is he turning Wagyu beef into burgers? Must... stop... now...<br /><br />Another week of ACX not approving Neon Sands for Audible. Sorry, readers! No codes yet :( However, I have enough titles now that I should be able to offer a freebie or discount on at least one of them each week now, so click the cover above to grab Plains of Ion for 33% off, running until the end of Wednesday.<br /><br />And don't forget, all my titles are in <strong>Kindle Unlimited</strong>.<br /><br />Hope you are all keeping safe and well. </div>

Another week, another delay from ACX on the audiobook version of <strong>Neon Sands</strong>. As soon as available I'll let you know! A few of you have grabbed promo codes for <strong>Plains of Ion</strong>, so here's a link reminder to apply: <a href="https://storyoriginapp.com/audiobookreviewcopies/16ed6a94-a20f-4734-87e1-0784ba6b9f45" style="color: #00add8; text-size-adjust: 100%;">https://storyoriginapp.com/audiobookreviewcopies/16ed6a94-a20f-4734-87e1-0784ba6b9f45</a>. <strong>Flames of Apathy</strong> and<strong> The Risen</strong> series are also being worked on, but will likely be a few months away.<br /><br />Quiet week all in all. Luckily I can still work from home, so there's that (thanks <a href="https://3dtotal.com/" style="color: #00add8; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank">3dtotal</a>). I watched Jean Claude Van Johnson on Prime which was pretty funny if you're a JCVD fan and understand all the in-jokes. Guava Island too, with Donald Glover and Rihanna, was a nice, short (1-hour) piece, filled with his music, some nice animation, and an island-set morality tale.<br /><br />Check out the below titles for a new read - there are some group promos coming up too, so stay tuned :)<br /><br />All the best - Adam</div>

Ask any writer and it'll be the part the dislike the most - but as an Indie, there's not many options! So I do appreciate your support. As a thanks, I just realised I get <strong>audiobook promo codes</strong>. The situation is the same as last week - still waiting for ACX to approve <strong>Neon Sands</strong>, however, if you've read Neon Sands but would like to listen to the follow-up, <strong>Plains of Ion</strong>, please ask for a code through this link: <a href="https://storyoriginapp.com/audiobookreviewcopies/16ed6a94-a20f-4734-87e1-0784ba6b9f45" style="color: #00add8; text-size-adjust: 100%;">https://storyoriginapp.com/audiobookreviewcopies/16ed6a94-a20f-4734-87e1-0784ba6b9f45</a>. Available through Audible. Promo codes for Neon Sands will follow!<br /><br />Like many, I have been enjoying <em>The Last of Us Part 2</em>. I applaud its story choices and Abby's character design, which is quite iconic, and it's many positives far outweight the negatives, making it a solid 10/10. Full spoiler review can be read here: <a href="https://adamjsmithauthor.blogspot.com/2020/06/review-last-of-us-part-2-w-spoilers.html" style="color: #00add8; text-size-adjust: 100%;">https://adamjsmithauthor.blogspot.com/2020/06/review-last-of-us-part-2-w-spoilers.html</a>.<br /><br />As we slide into the second half of this crazy year, I'll be knuckling down to complete the Neon Series - with<strong> Neon Driver</strong> next on the list. Like <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/48998379-the-risen" style="color: #00add8; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank">The Risen Part 2</a>, this one will be in first person - I enjoyed diving into a single mind, and so can't wait to find out what makes my new character tick. And I love the cover. <br /> </div><div data-blogger-escaped-style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51818257-neon-driver" style="color: #00add8; text-size-adjust: 100%;" target="_blank"><img data-file-id="5248541" height="160" src="https://mcusercontent.com/4a73c83a8767c4a75a2f2872a/images/334262d2-468b-4da1-8eac-88f102542a62.jpeg" style="border: 0px; height: 160px; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; width: 100px;" width="100" /></a><br /><br />Take care, and take a look at this week's recommendations below.

It really is a shame that the leaks occured and prevented so many people from enjoying this game spoiler free. Or just flat-out refusing to give it a chance. The metacritic review bombing is childish, and so boringly predictable with it. It says more about outrage culture than anything else, and the lack of nuance allowed in mainstream entertainment.<br />
<br />
We're not 'owed' anything, in terms of story. So what Naughty Dog have done here, on the back of a very simple story in Part 1, is tell a story <i>they</i> wanted to tell. Not only that, but they have done it more intelligently. Both parts share the fact that they are essentially character-driven narratives, which is always the best basis for a successful story. When I saw in the leaks that you ended up playing as Joel's murderer, my first instinct was how bold a choice that was. While others were upset, I was more intrigued by the fact that they had made this choice in the first place, and that it wouldn't be a rote action sequel. ND were going to try something <i>different</i>, and I applauded that, while also being intrigued about whether they could pull it off, because if not, then yes, it really would fall flat.<br />
<br />
So, you play as Joel's murderer and the challenge ND set themselves was to turn around the player's viewpoint so far that you might begin to empathise or even like this new Abby character. BOLD. Know what may have been bolder? Player choice at the end, and an in-built prompt that told ND the result. Did the player choose to kill Abby, or let her go? The results would've been interesting, and may even have validated their story choice to an extent.<br />
<br />
But this isn't the player's journey. So having that option taken out of your hands, much like at the end of part 1, just emphasises that point. These aren't your characters. They're not mine. We're watching what they do. Good entertainment often makes us squirm, or uncomfortable - not enough games do that, so to have one that does, and may even make you want to turn off, is a brave developer choice. People can be mad about it; see the leaks and boycott it, but this boldness is something missing from what has become more and more an adult medium. More adults play games than children, so to have a mainstream game that challenges in terms of story, and not just violence, gore, gameplay and puzzles, is welcome.<br />
<br />
Do they pull it off? In the final standoff, would I have let Abby go or kill her? I would've let her go. Without experiencing Abby's arc, would I have let her go? Well, that's an interesting thought too. By the end, Ellie is shattered; both of you have slaughtered hundreds to get there, and gone through emotional turmoil - Ellie's character design at the end is shocking, as she's verging on anorexic. You can <i>see</i> the impact of all that hate and anger. So yeah, maybe seeing that Abby is looking after Lev (which adds to the guilt), and Ellie's own struggle at the time, might've been enough to let Abby go, even without experiencing her arc.<br />
<br />
As an aside, while mentioning character design, I think it has to be hats off to the dev team for Abby's design. The braid and muscle, two simple things, combine to make an immediately exceptional design. You only need to find the spoiler memes across the net to see how it captures something unique. Hats off too to not overplaying the muscles - a lot of Abby's character is inferred, and there's something <i>human</i> about a little girl burning her anger with muscle-building so that when the time comes for revenge, she is more than ready for it. The fact she is NOT trans, or gay, but just a muscled woman, also serves to expose the ludricrousness of the review bombs that talk about pushing some form of agenda.<br />
<br />
The only agenda, when it comes to the main characters, is diversity. Outside of the bubble of Joel's murder, Abby would've been (and was anyway) a kick-ass character to play. Women can be muscley too. And gays exist. It doesn't need saying, but for some people, it does. Creating a game with a diversity of main characters, especially one so in the public eye, is overwhelming inclusive. It helps normalise diversity. The more this is done, the better.<br />
<br />
Though the harder the push-back (see: the review-bombs).<br />
<br />
Is the story perfect? No. It falls foul of its own realism. In many games you wouldn't think too hard about characters coming and going, but here, after you've struggled through infected and armies, and just struggled to even find a path at times, it felt incongruous to have characters suddenly find you. The aquarium stands out for me there - it was stormy and my boat capsized and I barely made it. And five seconds later Tommy's there. There were other encounters like this, like returning to the aquarium with Lev and Yara despite the fact I hadn't actually cleared the hordes on my way out to get them.<br />
<br />
But! Some things can happen outside of the plotline. And you feel so invincible as Ellie or Abby it's difficult to remember that any other character can be just the same.<br />
<br />
Seattle too was a bit of a plot hole. First, in following Tommy's tracks, yet still needing to do the puzzles and clear out areas he would've gone through. And second, considering what state it's in, it was difficult to believe people wanted to live there, let alone fight over it. And there was the usual plot device of having people make stupid decisions in order for x to happen. So the story wasn't perfect - but at least it tried to do something different. As for the plot divide, Abby's was also more interesting - without it, this story and game would have been weaker.<br />
<br />
The amount of killing you do is also, of course, unrealistic - however, you can't forget that you actually die a hell of a lot. Especially on Survivor. I loved Grounded Mode, so wanted to face the biggest difficulty possible. Each encounter is like a puzzle to be worked out, and with Ellie's improved maneuverability, they are more enjoyable than the first game. It feels fluid, analogue; going prone and falling backwards, and little things like smashing glass and dodge, just grounds the combat and offers so much variety. Accessible variety too (in terms of gameplay). You can go stealthy, or go guns-out, and switch up the difficulty level if you really just want to have lots of ammo and health and play a more arcade-y version. Shamblers are great when they are smashing through walls to get at you, while Seraphites offer an interesting alternative to the WLF/Firefly types (though after my first encounter with them in the woods, I admit I expected more from them - they weren't half as stealthy as I thought they would be). The dogs were a good additional challenge too.<br />
<br />
I've read and listened to a lot of reviews and reviews of the first game too that begin; no-one plays this game for the gameplay, only the story. It's an immediate red-flag to me. The only other game that matches the fun-level in terms of gameplay, that I have played, is Horizon Zero Dawn. There just aren't that many games like this; that exist in this kind of world. I'm not even a huge fan of the Uncharted series gameplay as it feels too arcade-y for my tastes. I guess I just enjoy the variety of options that are open to you here, combined with exploring the oddly serene, dilapidated environments for supplies. That the scenes in part 2 are so exquisitely detailed, from little rivulets that stream across cracked hardtop, to bags floating on the wind, to blood smeared thick across open doorways, to a tin-can rolling away in the distant dark of a basement in stereoscopic sound; are a testament to the effort invested by the ND team for raising the bar. They just need to work on refining things so that immersion isn't broken in the future, like duplicated character models, and (still, though better) your companion not getting in AI's faces.<br />
<br />
Now bring on some multiplayer and part 3 please.<br />
