As you may have noticed, it's been a while since I last posted an update. I've been trying to figure out how best to manage my presence here on Wattpad. As much as I would like to just share everything I write, I am a full-time writer, and I need to figure out ways to make my writing profitable.
          	
          	I've decided to keep posting excerpts from The Sword Keeper until the novel is complete, then take it down a month or two after I finish it. I've already taken down some of the Star Wanderers books, except for Outworlder, which is already free on most platforms as it is the first book in the series. I may also post Brothers in Exile, which is another first-in-series book.
          	
          	It wasn't really an issue for me until I got a couple of messages from foreign entities looking to publish my books for free on their own platforms. While I'm not too worried about piracy, which is going to happen whether you want it to or not, I am concerned about non-native English publishing platforms taking my decision to post my books on Wattpad as tacit permission to publish it elsewhere, for free, when I never gave them that permission.
          	
          	TL;DR: I will finish posting The Sword Keeper, but it will only be available for a limited time, and from now on if I do post a book on Wattpad it will only be available for a limited time, unless it is one of my permanently free books.
          	
          	If you have any suggestions, please let me know!

I was just wanting to tell you that I really really loved the star wanderers. I think desert stars was completely excellent and I would love to see anything else you would like to share. I especially appreciate your willingness to share here on watt pad btw. I never get to buy books or movies or cds etc. Amazon won't let me write reviews without a customer ID... Whatever you do Don't Stop Writing! You have truly amazing talent sir. Thank You again,. Nikalai

please JoeVasicek post the fifth book of Star Wonderer soon. This series is great. It's like Little House on the Praire meets Star Trek Enteprise! Those are my favorite works of fiction. Star Wonderer has thus become the BEST ever book I have read. You are wonderful.

Hello. I have loved your books. I'm the third one as a matter of fact. How do you come up with names for galaxies and places and how do you make it so that I makes sense. Every time I try to come up with galaxies, I sometimes don't understand what I wrote or did. can you help me?
