Wanted to take a moment to provide a shout out for Alex James, who provided proofreading services for White Hole Volume One: The Corwin. I found Alex during a Google search when looking for a proof-reader, and he proved to be a very friendly and approachable man with a genuine interest in the novel and desire to help. Not only did he complete the proofread within the agreed timeline, he produced a database of characters and phrases from the novel, which was very useful when making the final edit. He also took the time to comment on aspects of "The Corwin" that he enjoyed, which provided a positive offset to the more critical aspects that are neccessary of a proofreading exercise.
I would fully recommend Alex's services and am hopeful to work with him again when it comes to proofreading "Rise of the Levellers".
As well as proofreading, he is also a novelist himself. Please see below for his website and further information.

White Coffee Hole! Work continues on "Rise of the Levellers" at Kyffin Cafe Deli on Bangor (Gwynedd) High Street.
For those of you who are wondering, what can be seen in the picture is from Chapter Three of Book Five "The Scientist Commeth". It is narrated from the P.O.V of Charlie Pendle, a new character who will go on to play a major role in the Corwin's mission and holds a valuable key to understanding the Levellers' motives.
In this scene, he is about to make a terrible mistake ...

Delighted to be able to reveal the title of White Hole: Volume Two - Rise of the Levellers. (Cover subject to change).
Those who have finished Volume One will recognise "The Levellers" immediately, and I promise we'll be learning more about them, who they are, and what exactly they are planning to do in this middle installment.

Another great review from a verified purchaser. Reviews (good and bad) mean so much, so if you have read my work please do leave one on Amazon or Goodreads.
"Science fiction with humour. Well written with good characters and an interesting, thought provoking plot. A must for science fiction fans. Can't wait for volume 2"

Received my first review on Goodreads. Very grateful for all who take the time to review my work. Also glad to see the comparisons to Firefly were picked up on, as it was one of my key inspirations.
"If you had a chance to answer the question of "is there a god" would you? that's that Jonathan Owenson explores in his debut novel. The story follows a group of colourful characters who all set out to answer this question for their own reasons. well paced and thought provoking; The Cowin makes use if an episodic format to get you into the inner thoughts of our main cast. those familiar with firefly will feel at home with it's themes and atmosphere. A good reads and good introduction to a larger narrative that we will hopefully not have to wait too long to see the next chapter"

A writer's work is never done! White Hole: Volume One is released, so its time to start Volume Two. Just no peaking at the title (yet!)

White Hole: Volume One - The Corwin published on Amazon KDP. I have been working, on and off, on this story for over ten years and so it is wonderful to finally share it with the world, and to be able to say that Max Rhallos, Sarah McKiver, the Corwin and all the others no longer exist solely in my head and a few obscure Microsoft Word Documents.
