Tamer: Enhancer 2
I wrote another book!
Have a sequel! Wow, almost two years to the day since the first book. Well, still faster than some of the pros, eh? This book is a bit longer, at 210K words. The first book was right around 120K for comparison.
I wanted to do more with the cover, but I’m not going to hold the book hostage because I didn’t get a chance to hide Yxlyn on the cover yet. (Yeah, like 3 people noticed her on the other cover.)
Please let me know what you think! I’m amenable to all constructive feedback and abject praise. Feel free to leave comments here, but please be mindful of spoilers if you do. You can also email me at grrlpowercomic@gmail, which is also probably the best way to let me know about typos. I’ll eventually release updated versions once typo feedback slows and I’m sure most everything’s been found.
Download your format of choice here:
- Tamer Enhancer 2 – mobi Format for Kindles
- Tamer Enhancer 2 – ePub Format for not Kindles
- Tamer Enhancer 2 – PDF Format for… other? For some reason Scrivener doesn’t include the cover in pdf format just FYI.
Here’s a quick link to Book 1 since I’m sure some people will ask.
Tamer: King of Dinosaurs is by Michael-Scott Earle. I’ve linked it several times in the past. The first book is free if you’ve never checked it out, but you don’t need to be familiar with Tamer to read my story. But it’s still free and it’s good… so… get it.
Obviously, “Tamer: King of Dinosaurs” is Michael-Scott Earle’s IP and my fan work is by a fan for fans, and certainly not intended to infringe in any way.
For those of you unsure of how to get a .mobi file onto your Kindle or Kindle app on your phone/ipad, the easiest way is to download it, then email it to your kindle email. You can find this on Amazon, under “Your Contents and Devices” you’ll see a list of books you’ve bought through Amazon. Click on “Devices” up at the top and you’ll see a list of kindles and phones etc that have the kindle app installed. Click on the box with the “…” next to each device and you’ll see an email address for it. Just email that address with the .mobi attachment.
Alternatively, I’m sure you could transfer it with dropbox or google drive or whatever poison you use.
SuperheroThey're super, thanks for asking!
Meatspace ComicSeriously these are awesome. Check 'em out!
Not UpdatingNo longer updating or only updates sporadically, but definitely worth reading.
SeriouslySeriously you guys. If you like Grrl Power the check these out.
"Mature"Mature subject matter and occasionally something explicit but usually safe. Can't guarantee the ads are safe though.
Dongs Ahoy!Full frontal and backal. Lots of skin, sex on some or all pages, explicit or otherwise.
Thank you man. Enhancer 2 is a great read!
Value is dependent on two factors besides “willingness to pay”.
1) How much of said resource is removed from the market by “bad actors”?
2) What’s your population and is demand over that population consistent?
Example, I happen to own a bit less than a kilogram of rather uncommon metal, Tantalum in fact (which has caused me vast amusement given some of the names chosen here) in the form of wire. I use it as an electrochemical cathode in certain things, it’s very nonreactive as a cathode. As an anode, it’s way TOO nonreactive, it cuts itself off from the current by plating itself with a very insulating coating. Said coating, when the metal becomes a thin foil, can be used to make very accurate and very tiny capacitors. During the big smart phone run up a couple decades ago, the price of Tantalum was about 1200$ per ounce. Mine cost about 60$ total as an “end of spool” thing from a manufacturer of prosthetics. Why? Bad actors, who in this case simply won’t source the metal outside their contracts. It’s perfectly true that tantalum is expensive, it’s perfectly true that you can easily scrounge it from electronics, and it’s also true that YOU CANNOT SELL IT FOR THE GOING PRICE.
I presume most of us here are aware that oil producers are setting record profits at this time by withholding supply from the markets, again, bad actors.
Secondly, of course, if you have a trillion ounces of the stuff, everyone wants five ounces, and you have a population of half a trillion; you still have a shortage and high prices following.
Bad actors and high population are at least as responsible as supply for pricing goods.
FYI: The Tamer 8 kickstarter only has a few hours left on it.
Okay, I read and enjoyed your book. When will TE3 be ready?
Hello, Dave! Long-time enthusiastic reader, first-time commenter.
I wasn’t familiar with Tamer or Michael-Scott Earle prior to your announcement of your first fanfic novel, but I loved it and then eagerly devoured the second upon release. It then took me a while, but I recently finally bought and read the entire run of Tamer released thus far. Your fanfic, and my desire for more of that world and its inhabitants, drove me to seek out the original along with his other works.
The things I love about your fanfic novels (and these apply to the source material, as well) are many: For one, despite being presented as cheerfully pulpy popcorn fare they are actually very smart and genuinely thoughtful about how they handle their premise. The writing is skillful and engaging. I love that the women characters are all so well-developed that they are effectively the protagonists of their own stories, just seen from one character’s point of view. And I especially love that your viewpoint protagonist is, within the framework of a pulpy adventure tale, very effectively modeling non-toxic masculinity, showing that being supportive and compassionate are equally important strengths as being able to fight and kill; it’s noteworthy that Sam’s superpower is not only being able to improve tools and items, but to literally make the others in his tribe better and stronger. The fact that both your series and the original make frank discussions of desire, consent, and boundaries integral to the nature and development of all the characters – and having that being a seamless part of the narrative – is pretty awesome.
What would otherwise be just a shallow teenaged wish-fulfillment escapist fantasy in lesser hands is in yours and Earle’s elevated considerably; though not what most would consider “great literature” it is certainly intelligent and substantive as well as briskly entertaining.
And that battle on the beach in Book 2 was an epic pulse-pounder.
I really really hope you have a few more of these to come. Even if you don’t, thank you for what you have created and made available for your readers in both print and comic form.
Awesome, glad you enjoyed my efforts as well as the OG material.
A lot of harem-y books do have a bit of a “gotta catch ’em all” feel to it, where the women present some interesting ‘acquisition’ challenge for the MC, but as soon as they join team Main Character, he’s off working on the next one. I tried to avoid that, though toward the end of this book, the tribe grew a little faster than I had planned. I do want to write a third book, but so far I’ve only got about 300 words of it down. Comic and other things are keeping me distracted, but hopefully I’ll get the urge to write more soon.
