Wattpad, is it really necessary to keep asking if I need to update my e-mail address? Every time I visit the website over the past couple of days, it asks me the same question.
          
          Isn't that something that should be done about 6 to 12 months apart? Not 5 times in 2 days.

Why have the administrators removed the messaging system? With the forums gone, now the messages, I'm guessing the "Conversations" system will be going next?

Many of you told me how much you enjoyed my science fiction thriller "Sceptic" here on Wattpad. It's taken a lot of work, but it's now extensively edited and polished, features a new front cover, and is available right now on Amazon.
          
          If you haven't previously experienced Sceptic, here's the blurb:
          
          In a dystopian world in the mechanical grip of religion, a genius developer, a revolutionary artificial brain, and a man stripped of his memory, find themselves on the run from the authorities.
          
          Moses Libereco, a developer crafting artificial minds for the formidable CleriC robots that police the world, makes a simple mistake while training his latest creation. The ensuing whirlwind of chaos shatters his life, exposes unimaginable long-buried secrets, and puts the entire world in danger. With the aid of an enigmatic man recovering from a near-death experience, they must take on the state and save themselves. With just the three of them against an army of fanatical robots hell-bent on protecting the regime and its secrets, is survival even possible?
          
          Here are the Amazon links:
          UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CW1SLM4Q
          US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CW1SLM4Q
          
          As usual, you can download a free sample to your Kindle, Android device, Windows PC or iOS device.

With almost 30,000 followers, it should be entirely possible to get a lot of reads of any new material I post. It "should" also be possible to get a few people to download the free sample of my science fiction novel on Amazon. What would it take to get 300 people to download a free sample of "Deadline"?
          
          Here are the links:
          Amazon UK:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CP5ZX931/
          Amazon US:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CP5ZX931/
          
          The sample includes the first 6000+ words, gives you a great taster of what the novel is about, and includes a little of the comedy present throughout the book.

Having recently added "Deadline" to my novels on Amazon, I'll be uploading the sci-fi thriller "Sceptic" there too very soon. I wrote it a while back with a view to getting traditionally published. Sadly the agencies were not interested so, as it's one of the best novels I've written, I'm not prepared to let it just go to waste.
          
          My aim for 2024 is to get two novels out on Amazon before the year is over, and then do the same every year until I'm too old to write anymore.
          
          Am I allowed to post my Amazon links here?

Happy New Year everyone. Let's make 2024 a great year!
          
          I will start the year by becoming a lot more active here on Wattpad. My aim is to post a couple of times per week, put more effort into replying to comments and making more comments on other people's Wattpad profiles.
          
          I'll post more writing here very soon and make more effort to let you all know where you can get my other works too. My scifi novel "Sceptic" will be launched on Amazon soon but I'll be posting a couple of chapters here too.
          
          I'm also considering a new project where I post a chapter or two each of a few unfinished works to find out which one is most worthy of completion. It would be great to get some feedback going again.
          
          Anyway, looking forward to spending more time with you all. Do please feel free to comment on any of my work. I try to read all comments (and reply to them).
          
          All the best for the coming year.

Hello  just suggested your book to my following 

Love your books.....

Just a quick question for you all: 
          
          Do you know of any novels here on Wattpad with 10,000+ reads and a 25% or better voting rate? By voting rate, I mean the number of votes divided by the number of reads.
          
          Most of the books I've looked at here seem to be around 5%-10%, but there must be some out there. (?)

The Astronomical World still has some clout
