Exciting and Entertaining read
I am always looking for new books to fill my library at home and this book is a great addition now that I can finally find a spot for it.  As soon as I started reading Keeper 829 it was impossible to put it down.  I wanted to know more and figure where the story would take Nesha.  Beautiful details of locations and along with plenty of imagery to make you feel like you are right there with the characters.  The ending left me shock/excited to find out what is going to happen next! Book 2 here I come :)

Fantastic book
Keeper 829  is definitely philosophical in nature. It really makes you think. This book is reminiscent of A brave new World, or 1984, Except the detail, this author goes into is unbelievable. In some parts, you feel as if you are there. Others are written so beautifully that they could be poetry if written alone. The author really has a way with words, that has you turning pages because you feel like you are right there  with Nesha

Wonderful futuristic sci-fi
Though I am not a fan of sci-fi as much as fantasy, I gave this one a try- and was not disappointed!I loved the way information was revealed without being an info dump. I loved how real places on earth were used as the scenery for the story and how some of them had more meaning than just a background.The reader is left unsure of who to trust, who are the true 'good guys' and the scales keep tipping from side to side.Really interesting conception of who and what we are.I recommend this book to sci-fi lovers who enjoy a fast paced, mysterious story line. Waiting for the sequel!

Must Read
I’ve read this book twice now and it’s better each time! Intriguing the entire ride, this book leaves you in anticipation for the next book in the series. Non-stop page turner the whole way!My favorite part (without spoilers!!) is the mix of real life places with a future that seems absolutely plausible mixed with a sci-fi plot that will leave you guessing and make you feel like you’re living it.

A Grand Dystopian Political Thriller
This well crafted, dystopian, futuristic political thriller truly resonates in our current environment.  The female lead adds an exciting twist to a genre that is usually not on my playlist.Reccomended.

Wow!! Layers, mystery, deception, suspense, the human condition, our makers ... fantastic concept!
This book was intriguing from the start. Set in the near future but with a storyline concept reaching back to the genesis of the human, the book follows a strong female lead and her quest to understand her place in the world and how the layers, players, politics, and belief systems of some not-quite humans are triggering a global meltdown. Why do all sides need her? How can she possibly complete her mission? I love creative, intelligent dystopian novels and this one has all the goods, layers and layers of them. It leaves you wanting more. My only disappointment is that Book 2 isn't available yet!!

Fantastic Beta Reader

Michael provided a beta read of my romantic comedy novel and his feedback was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted an honest opinion on how the male characters were reacting and he provided helpful, honest reactions to my story. His feedback helped me identify areas where it was working and other areas that could be improved.

Supportive and Caring Host!

Michael is a very thorough interviewer and writer. He enjoys exploring social issues and challenging the thoughts and beliefs of his viewers. I feel that having such an open host that doesn’t shy away from taboo topics is a huge benefit because you can dig into the inspiration and foundation of many great novels.

Highly Recommended Beta & Proofreader!

Michael helped me with beta reading my 81,000 word book and he did a phenomenal job! He was quick to catch any discrepancies, and his worksheet helped me understand the areas my book needed more work. I highly recommend Michael for beta reading and proofreading services. He has a knack of understanding what your audience needs and how to best capture their attention. He’s also an author himself so he really understands the process. I’m really glad I used Michael’s services for my book. It made me so confident as a debut author!

Why Writing Matters

With over 10 years of writing experience, the #1 lesson I have learned is that imagination is humanity's greatest strength.

Writing gives us the ability to effectively communicate across cultural and social boundaries. A must in reducing divisiveness. A good dystopian book can help us look inward and see the world as it could be.

This pursuit of knowledge is the best way to make a difference in the world.

As a dystopian fiction author, I value creativity, ingenuity, and innovation. I love chatting with people, sharing ideas, and learning about your experiences. Feel free to contact me any time. Serving you is my highest priority. Let's write the next chapter together!

Read more, Write mindfully!
