Since liquid rabbit made a post about his latest publication, I decided to do it too.

Fear the Dinosaur Smile is a 32,000 word novella and the Kindle version is .99 cents and the paperback only $5.99.

"Six US Marine time-troopers travel to the Jurassic period on a deadly mission. Pterosaurs cruise the bright blue skies, and Tyrannosaurs rule the land.
Private Matt Moscona fights a war on two time lines. One is a battle against a rare form of cancer threatening his mother’s life, and the other is against prehistoric beasts from the ancient past. Fate puts him in a position to win on both fronts, but he’ll have to survive a gauntlet of savage dinosaurs all by himself."

The story consists of reimagined personalities from 104.5's AFR. So, you have Matt, Duane, Brain, Riot, Carley, and Dutchtown. There's an appearance by Lt. Jerry Sullivan and Professor William Cannon.

Fear the Dinosaur Smile is an action/adventure/time travel/dinosaur/sci-fi romp.

Please tell me everybody but Brain and Tony get eaten. Those are the only two I like.

Like I legit wouldn’t mind if those others got eaten by Dino’s IRL.

Also, this is a classic example of why any creative writing class will tell you not to use contemporary people. If readers hate the people, they will hate your characters.

I already hate all your characters. Especially your protagonist.

There is a small audience in the world that I have to worry if they hate the characters or not. Funny how you can hate what you haven't read. Re-imagined personalities aren't carbon copies of those who exist today. Plus, I write to make me happy first. I had a lot of fun writing this story.
