Twenty Seven Wins Award!
As you may recall, Twenty Seven Book 1 & 2 both won Book Excellence Awards in the past. Because I originally wrote all three Twenty Seven books to be read together, I recently pulled them, freshened them up a bit and combined all three stories into one book. I submitted the new book and won a 2023 Finalist in the Book Excellence Awards in the Adventure Fiction category.
Out of thousands of books that were entered into the Book Excellence Awards competition, my book was selected for its high quality writing, design and overall market appeal.
To view my complete award listing, you can visit my honoree page.
The book was released in late 2022 and is a fast paced delve into what would happen if a way to rejuvenate humans into looking like they were 27 would alter the world's culture on aging. There are twists and turns, with plenty of protagonists and antagonists to go around.
The book is perfect for anyone who loves to read adventure, science fiction or about alternate cultural outcomes.

Siddhartha, by Hermann Hesse, was a book that inspired me to name the yacht after the title character in my Twenty Seven series. A friend had given me the book when I was in college. I enjoyed the nomadic tendencies of Siddhartha and thought it a perfect name for the vessel travelling throughout the world. I hadn't seen the book in any other context until watching a television series last night. Nice to know there are others who appreciate Hesse's work!

Just finished my fifth book. It's my first non-fiction story and my first collaboration. My 21-year-old was my co-author. He did a great job. Congratulations, RJ Polyack <3 .

For some inexplicable reason, the folks at my publishing house and I are having a disconnect. My next book, Seven Bridges, is taking way too long to hit the stands. Today, I've received yet another rendition of the book's cover. And again, they've botched my direction. Hopefully I'll have the corrected and approved cover later today. Then, finally, it'll move to production.
