Quin's Abduction
QUIN'S EVOLUTION
Ebook Release date: End June 2018
Dear Readers,
Unfortunately I've had to put the publication of Book 2, Quin's Evolution, back by a few weeks.
It was due to be published as an ebook on May 13th, but due to some recent health issues that have been plaguing me in the last few weeks (thankfully not serious, but very energy-draining!) coupled with an upturn of more mundane work-demands, I haven't been able to finish the manuscript - or indeed write some chapters quite to the standard I am aiming for.
To all my valued and appreciated readers who have been looking forward to this date of release, please accept my apologies. Book 2 is coming, though I'm now looking to publish towards the end of June.
Sincere thanks to you all for your ongoing interest, patience and understanding!

QUIN'S EVOLUTION (Book 2) update: 28-07-2018
Yes, I know! I keep missing my own deadline for book 2. What can I say except that finishing it to the standard I want is proving extremely challenging for me. I really would rather break my deadline promises than release something that's not as good as I can make it - and with self publishing, I'm unfortunately my own boss! Also, I have had to dedicate almost all of my time in recent weeks and months to bread-and-butter, bill-paying work. Being self-employed, you have to make hay while the sun shines (i.e. when it comes your way).
Welcome to the Quin's Abduction website!
After over three-and-a-half years of the book being available to read for free on this website I've been convinced to publish the story as an ebook. A very wise person close to me pointed out that if there is no exchange for a piece of work or art, it can never be truly valued - neither by its audience nor its creator. I believe she has a point!
You can find the link to order Quin's Abduction for your Kindle here (for the price of a small coffee), or alternatively if you prefer, you can contact me via this website for an e-copy to be sent to you in an alternative format.
However, the first two chapters will still be available on here to read and listen to for free.
A heartfelt thank you to the many hundreds of people who have visited and liked this site since its launch in May 2014. And a special thank you to those few who have really taken the story to heart and have provided me with warm, enthusiastic and above all encouraging feedback.
If things go well and the sequel Quin's Evolution (due out late June 2018) is well received, I have vague plans to expand the story into a pentalogy, with Book 3 going by the working title of Quin's Transcendence.
There is also the plan to introduce a members' area, where members will be able to access further audio chapters and maybe the occasional 'Quin-off' story from the Quin universe...
Until next time,
Alun
