I have finished all three now and thought they were all a great read! I agree with LDB that they were the kind you don't put down until the end. Boyd, how long do we have to wait for something new?  !!!!! Write faster, please!  |

A book, I think, is very like a little golden door.
That takes me into places where I've never been before.
It leads me into fairyland or countries strange and far.
And, best of all, the golden door always stands ajar. - Adelaide Love

I'm hard at work on my next novel, eating and sleeping be damned! We'll see if my agent can find a publisher for it.
In the meantime, thanks to LDB and Silver for those great reviews of The Palmyra Impact on Amazon. I'm honored that you would take the time to do that, even after your sleepless nights!
Cheers,
Boyd

Well, add me to the "Bought All 3" crowd. I love a good technothriller. With all the good recommendations and the fantastic prices for all three, how could I resist? Lol. I'm looking forward to reading them.

Very interesting. Have you actually tested/verified this recently?
The one book I couldn't get an update on, I did make markings, etc. However, since then, I've deleted those. I still can't download the update though. Too late now? Stephen Windwalker (of the Complete User's Guide) updates all the time and this is a constant thing people are asking about and that he post info on how to get the new version. Once you make any markings, they go to Amazon and that blocks the new version (apparently, for forever), unless you have CS cancel the book (which causes a refund) and then you re-buy the book. They don't seem to be able to just set a flag to let it download the latest version (you'd think that would be easier and preferable, since you are on your honor to buy the book again after they cancel it). |

Thanks to everyone for your support! I'm happy that you're enjoying my novels.
I just ordered a Kindle 2 last night, so I'm excited to join the ranks of Kindle readers as well as Kindle authors. I can't wait to get it! I've seen a Kindle 1, but never a 2, in person.
Cheers,
Boyd

Thanks, JP!
Linda, no worries that the Kindle will get in the way of my telling stories. My only greater addiction than reading is writing. If I could make it a career, I'd be ecstatic.
Cheers,

Boyd that is great news. I read The Adamas Blueprint in 2 days and if I didn't have to eat, sleep and work could have finished it in a few hours. I was sitting on the edge of my chair in anticipation of what would happen next. I will start The Palmyra Impact today and can not wait. Thanks for the great read! Linda |

I read all three this weekend and enjoyed them a lot. All three had a slightly different feel which I also enjoyed. I will definately be looking for more books from you in the future!

Thanks, Maxx and Rhiathame! I did try to give each book a different feel appropriate to the storyline. Thanks for noticing. If you feel the books are worthy of a good review on Amazon, I'd certainly appreciate it. It might help other readers take a chance on a new author like me.
I've been asked to lead a book klub discussion, which I'd love to do, and I've opened a thread in the Book Klub forum to get an idea of which novel people would like to discuss with me.
Cheers,
Boyd

I just purchased all three also based on the recommendations here. (Thanks to DD, I still had money left on GC she gave me for my bday.)
I love getting lost in a good suspense book. But I will heed the advice of the other members here & make sure that I have a free block of time available before I start reading them.
Or at least I need to get my taxes done first....

I have also purchased all 3 books.
So that I can enjoy them.
But also so that I will be ready to participate in the Book Klub no matter which one is chosen.

Well I had originally sampled all three of these, but I have read so many great things about these books and they sound like something I would really enjoy so I just bought all three. I love the recommendations from this board. Looking forward to reading your books!!

Welcome Boyd! I bought all three of your books last week based on the recommendations here on the Kindle Boards. I'm looking forward to reading your books. Glad to see they are stand alone. Your website is fantastic and beautifully done! http://www.boydmorrison.com/ |

Thanks to all of you for reading my books! I just received my Kindle, and it's very cool. After I have a chance to play with it, it's back to the keyboard. Makes me want to write even more! I've gone through and scrubbed my books once again for the few typos I could find, and the clean copies are now uploaded to the Kindle store. If you download the books today or later from the Kindle store and find a typo, it's definitely one I don't know about, so please email me and tell me about it. My experience with typos was frustrating enough to drive me to write a blog post about it. Thanks to the alert readers who helped me find them. Cheers, Boyd |
