Io Deceneus - Journal of a Time Traveler

Currently available on Kindle for just £0.99 at Amazon.co.uk or $1.68 at Amazon.com



"The Universe is conscious, discreet, has many avatars, and likes to experiment on … us. Powerful Factions, the supreme form of social evolution in a galaxy where all civilizations are human-like, interfere for their own mysterious ends. When confident enough they challenge The Universe seeding war and political mayhem by altering the fabric of time.
He has been chosen to stop the genocide and change the pattern of history, and the fate of the whole galaxy: a galaxy where Earth is considered an example of a failed civilization. Rogue Factions want to eliminate the Erins – a mysterious quantum-mind experiment representing the next level of intelligent life. Earth's “model” is used to start the war and he is the best choice to counter it."

That is the synopsis for "Io Deceneus - Journal of a Time Traveler" by Florian Armas.

What the synopsis doesn't tell you is how well thought out this novel is, or how well written.

I first read "Io Deceneus - Journal of a Time Traveler" a few months before I was asked to edit it. I was very taken with the story line, which in parts deals with regular life that we can all relate to. Florian Armas has taken the history of mankind and explored (in a science fiction setting) where it all went wrong, and toys with ideas for how we can put it right.

"Io Deceneus - Journal of a Time Traveler" was a joy to edit. Florian Armas' writing style has a natural flow, and the story line has a level of complexity that was wonderful to work with.

I've pencilled in a re-read (purely for fun) later this year.

Another satisfied client.

Taking pride in your work is very important - even more so when it comes to editing, with the possibility of hundreds, if not thousands, of readers having their experience enhanced by your efforts.

Recognition of a "job well done" is priceless. Here is the latest review for Bookmarks Editing:

I recently commissioned Bookmarks Editing to do a full proof of my manuscript, Origin - Season One. I was extremely impressed with both the quality and speed of service. Considering the manuscript had already been extensively edited multiple times, I was both astounded and relieved at the results; astounded at the number of errors found, and relieved that they had finally been picked up and corrected. To anyone looking for a competent editing service, I can attest that Bookmarks Editing is a premium provider at a very competitive price.

Two happy authors.

Bookmarks Editing has received some very welcome feedback recently:

I never thought I'd say this but I've met somebody who knows my books better than I - Dawn Lewis of Bookmarks Editing! Eagle-eyed Dawn doesn't miss a trick when it comes to editing and I was truly humbled (and embarrassed) to discover the glaring and not-so-glaring mistakes I'd made in the writing process. I can now write with new-found confidence, knowing that Dawn will pick up on every little mistake or gaping hole in my plot... I have no hesitation in hiring Dawn Lewis as editor on future books.
Jonathan Dunne, author of "Balloon Animals" and "Living Dead Lovers".

As a non-native English speaker, I need a bit of extra care from editors. Dawn has been a great help for editing my manuscript with careful observations and helpful comments, and always done in time.
