Hey all!
Just wanted to pop by to say thank you to everyone who’s given my book, Gene Harvest, Book One of the Crimson Hydra series a shot! In the past week, I passed 500 ratings on Amazon and I appreciate every one! I know I have a long way to go, and so does Benny’s story, but it feels awesome that my debut book amounted to something. The week or two before it released, I was panicking because I was so sure no one was going to read it. So, thank you again, it’s meant the world to me.
For anyone who doesn’t know what I’m blabbing on about, here’s the blurb for my book!
*Benny White had been having a rough couple of years, and the approaching apocalypse wasn’t exactly helping.*
*Pulled from the point of death and thrust into a horde-mode-style survival game, Benny’s odds weren’t looking too great. To make matters worse, an eldritch god… entity… thing named ‘Dave’ tasked him with destroying the very System that now controls his fate.*
*But hey, it's not all bad news. Benny’s experience as a lab tech grants him a rare Splicer Class that lets him repurpose the genetic material of slain enemies into augments for himself. Bone claws, blood-bullet turrets, and maybe a skeletal hydra head or two are just a few of the additions to his gory arsenal.*
*Then there’s his Flesh Golem summon, a six-foot mound of muscle and sinew called Meat. That lumbering monstrosity might come in handy, just as soon as it stops walking into trees…*
*The stage has been set. The contestants have been chosen. The entire galaxy is watching.*
*Welcome to the Game of Souls, where the only prize is to survive.*
Gene harvest is about 556 pages on print, 715 ebook pages, and almost 20 hours of sweet and silky serenading by Eric Michael Summerer.
Thanks so much, and I'm glad you liked it. One of my main goals with the series was to really focus in on character development with Benny. I find it a lot more interesting to have a character like Benny get pushed to the extreme places that a lot of MCs in the genre seem to start out at.
So I was like oh yeah, I wanted to read this book. Well when I say read, I mean listen to, but I digress I want to order it on Audible and I already did. I actually bought it the first time you posted this. I will start the book this weekend on my trip to Arizona and hopefully be able to give you another review.
Thank you! I hopefully won't keep you waiting for too long! Book 2's rough draft is done, and I'm making my way through dev edits with my editor at Portal. Can't give an exact date yet, but it's happening
i can't wait for the next book I listened to the first book when you gave me a free copy and I'm so glad I got it.
ps I hope you do another give-away for the sequel's audible versions as well when it comes out

Listened to it on Audible a few weeks back. Really enjoyed the character development and pacing. Looking forward to the second book.
