Child of Time (70 page)

It felt good to be home again but something still
nagged at the back of Kiyan’s mind. He had existed for a moment in
all the universes. He had seen his own face in several of them.
Somewhere out there he was living different lives separated by
universes but connected through the time vortex. He had preserved
his friends in the vortex with him so it was possible that his
alternate selves were not alone. He might be the time vortex but so
were they. His other selves could all wield the powers of time. He
pondered briefly what adventures they were embarking on before
dismissing the thoughts and focusing his attention on
breakfast.

Hi, this started out as a hobby and over the course
of several months evolved into a novel of over 170,000 words. I
would not have been so long winded if I had known that it would
take me so much time proof reading it. I had to rewrite portions of
the beginning and added sections further on. I found on reading my
first chapters that the storyline I had originally intended had
changed and no longer fit with what I had ended with.

The truth is that I had fun writing this and hope
that you enjoyed reading it. If you enjoyed it feel free to leave a
review. I would love to hear feedback. Writing has become a hobby
for me and I find myself already building a story for my next
literary adventure.

I would like to sincerely thank you for having
invested your time in this work. As a young author I find that I
haven’t the life experiences to draw from as many of the more
accomplished authors have. I consider any time spent on this work
as a personal compliment.

Since I published this project I learned a few
things. One is that reviews are harder to come by than the
proverbial hen's tooth. Secondly Indy self publishing still isn't a
way for a new author to support himself and probably won't be if
ever. I have made the grand total of ten dollars off of this book.
True my book is available for free but that seems to net me a
download or two a month. Most often for free. Also since publishing
this work, I have gained a little more skill in conveying my
thoughts to black and white characters. Perhaps when I have more
time I can come back and revise this novel further. I'm about to
graduate college so perhaps this elusive thing known as free time
will become more readily attained.
