Simply Love | The Monster

Dear Amazing Readers and Supporters,

I hope you are enjoying the preparations for celebrating Christmas and New Year. I also hope that the year 2016 was a very productive and successful one. It was so for me and my writing and book-publishing progress, an achievement that became possible due to your kind support, valuable contribution, constructive feedback, and, of course, appreciation of my works. And here I would like to express my gratitude to you for all this!

In 2016 my science-fiction novel “The Monster: Blade of Darkness” reached many more of Amazing Readers in different parts of the world. The books travelled to different places in my home country Moldova, then to Ukraine, Hungary, and even Myanmar. You can see it on the Pinterest page of “The Monster”. Moreover, as part of the serendii stand in the project StadtLesen, the English version of “The Monster: Blade of Darkness” made a tour around Austria and Germany, where it was exhibited in specially arranged public spaces for anyone to read it. For this I thank its publisher, serendii, and my Austrian friend and writer, Wolfgang Stricker.

Also in 2016 a very important achievement happened: the “family” of linguistic diversity of the books “The Monster: Blade of Darkness” was enriched by one more language: Ukrainian. So, nowadays you can find the novel available for reading worldwide in three languages: Russian (original), English, and Ukrainian. This was achieved due to significant contributions of the three Amazing Readers from Ukraine, who are now co-authors of the Ukrainian version of “The Monster: Blade of Darkness”: Aleksandra Polivanaya, Alexandra Pakhurina, and Lada Merkulova. So, thank you for that, dear Ladies and friends!

Finally, the year 2016 saw quite good progress in writing my current science-fiction romantic novel “Simply Love”, the prequel to “The Monster: Blade of Darkness”. I managed to write ten more chapters of its second draft version. In 2017 you can expect me to finish the final draft in Russian, proof-read it, and translate it into English. And, who knows, maybe you will see “Simply Love” already published by the end of 2017.

All in all, 2016 was a very good year for me as a writer largely due to your interest in my works, support offered to me, your feedback shared with me, and, of course, your belief in me and the messages I share with the world through my books. Thank you very much, dear Amazing Readers and Supporters!

I wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy continuation of writing your wonderful life stories in the New Year!

Dear Amazing People,

In the post “Wish You MEGA Great Love!” I mentioned about my intention to write and publish the prequel to my novel “The Monster: Blade of Darkness” entitled “Simply Love”. And several days ago this intention took a concrete form of the draft of the “Simply Love” novel plot finalized near such a historically significant place as Acropolis in Athens, Greece. This place was chosen specifically to meditate, reflect on my impact and legacy in the world, and write the plan for my new large novel in peace of mind and heart.

“Simply Love” is going to be a romantic novel focused on the attempt to describe sincere and pure love without lies, intrigues, greed, and other unnecessary elements usually involved and focused on in traditional love stories. It will draw parallels between the love of a couple of people and the one of two animals, specifically dolphins. In this way you will see how universal true love really is and how it is ready to embrace any living creature in spite of its species.

Besides that the novel “Simply Love” is going to introduce you to the two characters, who will play one of the key roles in the events to happen in the second part of “The Monster” trilogy entitled “Armageddon’s Blade”. There you will also meet Frederick Miranderik, the founder of the Genetical Enjoyment Company and father of Leonardo Miranderik from the book “The Monster: Blade of Darkness”.

Last but not least, from the novel “Simply Love” you will learn about a number of rapidly developing modern technologies, such as 3D printing, robotic prosthetics, electromagnetic trains, etc., and how they might influence our lifestyle in the nearby future. Many of the thoughts presented there will be based on my own experience in working with these technologies, particularly with 3D printing and robotics.

So, starting from today I begin transferring the plan of the novel “Simply Love” into a concrete text of the future book. I plan to finish it in Russian by the end of this year, translate it into English at the beginning of next year, and publish the book by the 9^th of May, 2016.

I will keep you, dear Amazing Readers, updated on the progress of writing the novel “Simply Love” through this blog.

With great respect and gratitude,

Alexander
