Control
It's very dark and very graphic. More so than any of my previous non-horror stories, so if that's not your cup of tea, please be aware.When four high school seniors stumble across abandoned military nanotechnology, they will discover new abilities beyond their wildest imaginations. When one of their friends, however, begins to become suspicious, she learns what had happened to the others and begins to covet the gifts that they've received.
What will happen as the friends are caught up in a struggle for superhuman abilities? Will one of the girls fall prey to the temptation of ultimate power? Find out in this dark, graphic novella who will take... Control.

Control link.
I'll add it to Kindle Unlimited in the next couple of days. I forgot to include it when I initially submitted. Also, a physical print edition is coming soon as well.

Still, I was eager to read it...
Wow! Go buy it! Like now!
This has some of the more creative examples of using superpowers in almost any story in the genre that I’ve read. Some really cool stuff that goes along with some great characterizations and HA’s trademark beautification which is top notch and on par with anyone in the genre.
While it’s definitely darker fare, I’d give it two thumbs up.!

To get a really talented actor will cost a lot of money up front for a project this large, and I would have to go into debt on my credit card to get it done. If I were to do it with a strong voice talent, would those of you who bought Kindle copies or read it on KU upgrade it to audio for an additional $7.49?
I’m just trying to gauge whether I should go with mediocre voice recording with no risk or very high grade recording with substantial risk of losing hundreds of dollars on the project...

I can help you with any post-production work, I can also give you tips on what to do to make it better in the recording phase, also if you are going to get some new kit to record I can recommend what to get based on your budget.

I’ve thought about doing it as well, but I don’t know what I’m doing, it would serious hamper my writing while I figured it out, and I’m far worse than she is...

I'm not into audible versions of books, so I'm unlikely to be a customer, although I can appreciate how it could add value in our genre. Assuming the story was written and "performed" in first person by someone who really got it.
When I think of narration, I think of Cate Blanchet voicing Galadrial as narrator in parts of LOTR. That I LIKED!

Those are pretty impressive numbers! Congratulations.HikerAngel wrote: Control and Scroll of Destiny are both in the top 1% of Kindle sales. The Lake is in the top 2%. While there's probably a HUGE drop in sales between the top couple of thousand and these books, it's still quite an accomplishment for some genre novellas.
