I didn’t think it would happen so soon, but it did. Within a week of Reborn City coming out, the first review has appeared on Amazon. This comes Matthew Williams, Canadian science-fiction author and dear friend (I did a review for his zombie thriller Whiskey Delta). Matt also is the author of the blog Stories by Williams and is an authority on all subjects related to science and science fiction. And I’m proud to say, he’s also the guy I asked to edit RC before I got it ready to publish.
And it’s because of all of those that I was really excited to see his review on Amazon today, in which he gave RC four stars. Here’s what he had to say:
I’m glad you thought so highly of it, Matt! What do you say to taking to a look at Video Rage when I’m ready to show it to someone else?
Well, I’m glad Matt likes it. I’ve had a couple of sales so far, and from what I’m hearing, people are liking RC so far. I had a friend message me over Facebook the other day to let me know that she thought the first couple pages of RC were scary due to the violence. I was like, “I wasn’t intending to scare anyone with the violence, but I’m glad you’re reading it and I hope you enjoy the rest of the novel.” Or something to that effect.
If you wish to read Reborn City, you can find it on Amazon, CreateSpace, and Smashwords. And if you do decide to read it, please let me know what you think. I love feedback, whether positive or negative.
Also, you should check out my friend Matt’s blog. Whether it’s drones threatening to become intelligent, the latest in medical science, changes in climate, or the latest superhero movie news, he’s your guy. And if you like what you see, check out his published work, including Whiskey Delta. It’s worth the read.

Congrats Sir! I am reading the latest chapters of Snake as you know, but as soon as I am done with this book, I’m going on to Reborn City!
I can’t wait to hear your final opinions of both! Good thing you’ve gone through almost half the manuscript.
Booyahkasha! And yes, I would very much like to see Video Rage when its out. I know from our talks that there are things I’m quite keen on that made it into that story, yes?
Indeed, including how 011 was alive at the end of RC. You won’t believe the reason until you read it!
Of course, it’ll be awhile till then, so don’t get too excited until then. Okay Matt?
I shall try… Dwaaaaaah! I shall try again…
It helps if you have something to occupy your time. Is there any shows you’ve been meaning to binge on that’s available on Netflix? Perhaps a certain British TV show that’s nearing its fiftieth anniversary?
Rami, your pro Doctor Who agenda has been clear for some time! Seriously though, is it on Netflix? Maybe I could actually start watching it…
And yes, I am currently occupied with editing and reading people’s recently-released books. These provide plenty of helpful distraction, and plenty of not so needed stress…
Yeah, the whole show is on Netflix, classic series as well as the reboot (which is the one you’ll want to start with). It’s 7 seasons of binge-able fun.
Good luck with the reading and editing, by the way.
