Will the full manuscript go on my Kindle? If so, yes please - I hate reading on my iPad

Thank you. It went ok, fingers crossed

Yes, it will. This is how:

To get the document onto your Kindle device, all you have to do is email it to your Send-To-Kindle email address, which can be found in the Personal Document Settings section of the Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.

If you send me a private message, I'll email you back the document. (A quick note: I didn't like reading on the Kindle App on my iPhone until I discovered I could invert the text to white on black and independently turn the brightness down. It's really nice to read from now.)

My fingers are crossed!

It's on!

That was really, really easy

It's a pretty cool system. You can put all sorts on there!

I sort of lost track of the characters a bit, their names, when they were doing the running around tracking people on earth, between USA and Russia, but I do that with most books or series I watch/read.

There are a couple of spelling mistakes, meant to jot them down, but I forgot.

Going to start Noahs Ark soon.

I think I know what you mean - I do the same!

I'll be interested to see how you think Noah's Ark compares.

Unputdownable.

LOVED the ending, saw it coming a couple of chapters before however

I hope that didn't spoil the ending for you!

I'm glad you enjoyed it otherwise. Thank you for reading it

ali_kat said:

Not at all, loved the way you did it

What was it that gave it away? Was it the sentence: 'she longed to be with Mikhail forever, to go to a place beyond the earth that left her barren and empty'

If that was it, do you think it would better if I changed the sentence slightly?

Questions, questions

No

it was when they started kissing, I'd worked out he was from the Ship when he was found. Although to be honest, her 'I can't get pregnant' statement gave a huge clue!! I knew Bales was 'hooky' when he wouldn't send the rescue team for Sally

Ah, I see . . . Do you think it would be better if I took the huge clue out?

Thanks for your help

ali_kat said:

Not relevant, she'd been asked & given her answer, stressing the point (to me) was obvious.

Didn't detract from the book tho

I'll tweak that then I think. I want to get the balance right, giving the reader enough clues to help them piece the puzzle together without them figuring it all out too soon!

[andyroo]

ali_kat said:

Oh, well in that case leave it

I'm one of those that prefers clues to be subtle, think Ngaio Marsh rather than Dan Brown

As long as you don't think it spoils it. Thanks again for your help, I really do appreciate it.

Just bought Noah's Ark, looking forward to it!

Thank you! If you would like a copy of Vessel (which I think is much better than Noah's Ark), send me a message and I'll email to you.

Pleasure

Last question :P do you think vessel was an improvement on Noah's Ark at all?

King Herald said:

I 'bought' Noahs Ark off Amazon, but it never downloaded to my iPad as it was instructed to do. So much for automation and the glory and power of iTunes....

And we have no wifi on the ship, so much for the glory and power of iPad....you can plug into the computer, which has internet, but you still can't do half what you need to.

Never mind, I'll be ashore in a few days so it should be okay then.

It'll probably be a disappointment after Vessel anyway!

King Herald said:

I'll let you know when I've read it.

I look forward to it

ali_kat said:

I enjoy enjoyed both

2 different books, not really a comparison

Vessel is less confusing, but Noah's Arc is a better original story, if that makes sense?

Interesting. I've had a lot of criticism about Noah's Ark being too confusing.

ali_kat said:

It takes effort to follow it, but no more than 'GoT' or 'LotR' etc

I suppose I need to be more of an established author to get away with it!
