    Hello everyone. Long time 4x fan here who has spent the last few years turning from a fan fiction writer into an amateur science fiction author. My books series, Worlds of Words and War, is heavily inspired by my favorite genre of gaming, space 4x. I focus on the growth of humanity out into space, encounters with aliens both friendly and hostile, and all the common things we see in 4x game play from combat, espionage, diplomacy, and more.

    I just published my last book in the series, Destroyer of Worlds, which focuses on an "end game" threat to Earth along with deep political divisions within humanity. It is available in a few places I'll link below.

    Obviously I would suggest taking a look at the first two books in the series as well, but I figured since we're all space 4x fans here I thought I'd share my latest work. If anyone should pick up my book, please consider leaving a review/star rating for it wherever you get it from. Such things do wonders for amateur authors like myself. Thank you for your consideration.

    Very cool.

    Maybe one thing that the community could do is short stories.

    Actually I am thinking that there needs to be a story teller as well for Project Space Sector ... I am thinking about writing some fiction for fun as well.

    You might want to consider corresponding with Nick Cole, and author who does very well with marketing. I think he could help you market your books. You might also want to consider putting your books on Kindle Unlimited.
