Those who follow my stuff on Medium know my focus has been on serializing a sci-fi novel in the making.

Stories comprising the individual chapters of I, Robot Soldier, have received the most positive comments yet. The incredible encouragement I received for the prologue alone prompted me to write the novel.

A work-in-progress, all completed chapters can be read here:

A book requires a cover. Indeed, the cover is the first and most crucial lure for readers. It must be excellent. I was fortunate to gain the interest of a professional graphic artist. He creates superb book covers. So far, he’s been reluctant to take any credit. He’s retired and very content to be so. He’s not inclined to accept new clients. That makes me doubly fortunate.

(I shall insist on crediting him inside the published novel.)

Publication is tentatively scheduled for June 2024.

I want to share with you the proposed book cover for I, Robot Soldier.
