Neither, in my opinion, are valid reasons for sharing secrets that need to remain just that, secret. For that matter, Mouse and Megaton could have just said they'll deal with the issue of his "son" and left it at that. During which time they could have sent KS off on a mission thereby keeping Electra out of APs business. I know, not really a compelling story, just saying, more likely if it were reality.<br /><br />Still looking forward to this, just thought I'd toss that in since this is the first time I've remembered to check the site since my last comment.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10460990549465746393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1965850447775046538.post-8521503495928613152015-05-08T16:19:24.135-07:002015-05-08T16:19:24.135-07:00I anticipate finishing this weekend.

I am close to being done (and even told my editor I hope to get KS#4 to her soon), but also have some travel this week so that may cause a slight delay. In short, I am still slaving away on the book and hope to get it out there for public consumption as soon as possible.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05226233798269875346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1965850447775046538.post-83587695426933679202015-03-13T18:46:25.584-07:002015-03-13T18:46:25.584-07:00The anticipation is just eating away at me.The anticipation is just eating away at me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05707565765288496671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1965850447775046538.post-42304000548115123852015-03-11T16:48:49.227-07:002015-03-11T16:48:49.227-07:00I don't know if my last attempted post got thr...I don't know if my last attempted post got through, posting problems. So let's try again and sorry if it does go through and I repeat myself.<br />I read alot and find it hard to wait for new books in series I'm reading to come out. Found Kid Sensation series in one of those book gaps. The Kid Sensation series is a good series. I give it about a 7 out of 10. Some will think this a bad grade but it is not, i give it this based on length of book and entertainment value. Entertainment value is very high but length is short (for me), nothing wrong with that Kevin. So you understand my favorite series is Robert Jordans, Wheel of Time. I give that an overall 9, it has 14 books in series, several of them rated 8, 9 and the rare 10. Those had about the same entertainment level as Kid Sensation, but the length was far longer, hence the higher points because it entertained for longer. Please note, ENTERTAINMENT, keeps you reading and such, writing style, story, ect can be, and are in this comparison, vastly different.<br />For this series even if a typical story plot is used by Kevin it is twisted and molded in such a way it still entertains and seems different from others that use similar ideas. I see several ways Electra could act this one out as well as others. Even this excerpt leaves it so open to what can happen you can't guess at it. She maybe ok with not going but mad as heck at not being told about AP. Just one example but because of Kevin changing things slightly it can bump a typical story line far from what you expect. This is why it is so entertaining to read his stories. You have an idea of how it will end but how it gets there is a fun read.<br />So I have to say I can't wait to find out how this plays out. Doing good as far as I'm concerned.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819265805494713490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1965850447775046538.post-40914188406122178422015-03-01T07:49:17.277-08:002015-03-01T07:49:17.277-08:00Ha!

I'm sure it will be some variation on one of three themes. 1. Because he's like a father to me and I'm worried about him. 2. Because you(Kid Sensation) might get in trouble and I'm worried about you. 3. Because despite the fact the place is designed to keep people who can injure Alpha Prime out, which I assume she can't, she will think that somehow, she and only she can figure out a way past said security measures and save the day. I'm not saying it's a bad plot device if that is the direction you take it in. It just feels kind of obvious. And frankly, what's the point of an ultra secret sanctum if you allow a bunch of kids to traipse to and through it just because there might be an issue? I could see Kid Sensation going due to his relationship with Alpha Prime. And I could see Mouse and/or Megaton going along since they already know of its location. But during this conversation, Electra is reminding me of Lois Lane. Strong, competent, and a complete moron when it comes to that maybe she shouldn't go to the creepy place full of certain doom, relying on someone else to save her if trouble were to arise. And frankly if she does go and manages to defeat or circumvent Alpha Prime's security. Then it shows that it's not worth being called such.<br /><br />All that having been said, I'm glad to see the except as it is proof that a new book is in the works and I'm looking forward to reading it. I just felt the need to express my opinion of what I think is coming. Of course when I first ran through my response in my head a few hours ago, it sounded a lot better and was more well written. But then I went back to sleep and lost it.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10460990549465746393noreply@blogger.com
