Featured Author of the Week - Stephen Arseneault

Stephen Arseneault is a native of Central Florida where he lives with his wife and children. With several decades of experience in the fields of science and technology Stephen brings a realistic approach to the science fiction in his works. SODIUM is his first sci-fi series. AMP is the follow-on series to SODIUM.

The SODIUM series was written in first person narrative in an attempt to give the feeling of a historic account of a story as told by the main character. There is no dialogue between characters. It is not the traditional format for a science fiction novel, but it does add a unique dimension to the story, bringing the reader closer to the main character as the actions and events unfold.

The AMP series is also first person, but it follows the popular format with character dialogue.

Aside from eBooks the writings are also available in print from the author’s web site http://www.arsenex.com. Stephen enjoys reader feedback. Please send any thoughts or opinions to comments@arsenex.com.
