Dear Amazing Readers and Supporters,

I hope your days are full of MEGA exciting stories and adventures!

I also hope that the novel “The Monster: Blade of Darkness”, the first part of “The Monster” trilogy, has given you the opportunity to experience such exciting adventures in your mind.

Nowadays I keep receiving messages from you, dear Readers and Supporters, about the next book of “The Monster” trilogy: When will it be written? When will it be published? And when will you be able to get your hands on it and continue the adventures together with Jessie, Jack, Azul, and Blade of Darkness?

This encourages me to keep writing and developing the story for you to enjoy and learn from.

However, writing novels takes a lot of commitment of time and effort from my side. In order to be able to allocate this time and effort and focus on creating the next books of “The Monster” trilogy, as well as continue doing this together with a collaborative community of you, dear Readers and Supporters, I have just launched the Patreon page of “The Monster” trilogy.

So, with this post I invite you to visit the page at https://www.patreon.com/themonster and check out my video and story of creating the SciFi trilogy “The Monster” there. And if you like certain benefits that you will get for supporting the trilogy do choose them. I will be grateful to you for any support you can offer for making this big and bold dream come true.

With great respect and gratitude,

Alexander

First Achievement of “Simply Love”

Posted on 05/20/2015 by Shurik the Creator under Updates

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

Wish You MEGA Great Love!

Dear Amazing People,

Please allow me to congratulate you with the St. Valentine’s Day! I wish you MEGA great, passionate, happy, and long-lasting love, just like the one experienced by Jessie and Jack in “The Monster: Blade of Darkness“… and also the one to be described in my upcoming novel “Simply Love”. Yes, indeed, I have started writing the next book for you. A little teaser: it is actually going to be a prequel to “The Monster: Blade of Darkness” that discusses the philosophy of Love and introduces the characters that will play one of the key roles in the next part of “The Monster” trilogy entitled “The Monster: Armageddon’s Blade”. So, I hope that at the St. Valentine’s Day next year the book will be released, and you will start enjoying it.

By the way, if you have not provided your feedback about the novel “The Monster: Blade of Darkness“, please do so. Your opinion is very important to me, and I will be much grateful to you!

Now, enjoy Love this day… and every day… in all its beautiful and enchanting forms!

With great respect and gratitude,

Alexander

The Monster in 2015

Posted on 12/21/2014 by Shurik the Creator under Updates

Dear Amazing People,

The New Year is approaching fast. Soon we will enter the year 2015 full of new inspiration, creations, challenges, and successes. Great results that are consequences of our actions this year await us ahead.

This is true for me and my novel “The Monster: Blade of Darkness” that has been published this year and has already raised an international community of amazing readers. They have given me very good and inspiring feedback, which motivates me to start the second book of “The Monster” trilogy faster. And it is also great to know that some of the readers were so inspired by my novel that they started working on releasing their own literary creations.

The year 2015 will bring new interesting results. Before initiating the work on the second book, “The Monster: Armageddon’s Blade”, I intend to write and publish a relatively short side novel entitled “Simply Love”. The novel will be included in the book with the same title along with a collection of my love-and-romance poem. The reason to do that is not only to try to explain the intricacies of love relationships in the modern world, but also to introduce several key characters to be featured in the upcoming novel “The Monster: Armageddon’s Blade”, as well as their life stories, and thus expand “The Monster Universe”.

Besides that, the book lovers in Ukraine can expect a special gift in 2015 in the form of the novel “The Monster: Blade of Darkness” in Ukrainian language. Two of my amazing friends from Ukraine, Lada Merkulova and Aleksandra Polivanaya, have kindly volunteered to bring it to the Ukrainian-speaking readers and have already started translating the novel. Thus the Ukrainian version will then supplement the Russian and English books already on sale and should become available by the end of 2015.

And that is not all! There will be much more exciting news related to the novel “The Monster: Blade of Darkness” coming throughout next year. So, stay tuned and enjoy the holiday season!

And I wish you a MEGA wonderful, inspiring, and happy New Year!

With great respect and gratitude,

Alexander
