DR. AAUCI GOES to Jail from More Bad Stories

by Jonathan Sheppard

Dr. Fnthony Aauci was once a revered figure in global health, a celebrated scientist and policy architect who shaped pandemic responses for decades. But when a devastating disease sweeps the globe, his legacy crumbles under scrutiny. Leaked documents and whistleblower testimonies reveal that Dr. Aauci purposely ignored early warnings, dismissed critical research, and prioritized political interests over public safety. As the world counts its dead, he becomes the face of a scandal that shakes governments and shatters public trust. Stripped of his titles and exiled from the institutions he once commanded, Dr. Aauci must confront the truth—was he a well-intentioned leader who made fatal miscalculations, or did his ambition and negligence doom millions?

As was mentioned above, my next work is forthcoming. I have changed the name from Six More Bad Stories to More Bad Stories. I am mulling the inclusion of one more short story that is only about a page long, it has been tentatively titled; The Book of the Machines.

I have finally finished the first draft of Dr. Aauci Goes to Jail. You can read the draft by clicking the cover above. Dr. Aauci Goes to Jail was the story I needed to complete before I began to format the work then order my first proof. Although, I am considering including one more short story to in the work, I can still order the proof without it. More Bad Stories first proof should be here by the end of this month, hopefully.

There still is not an official release date for the work but my goal is to have it released before this summer. I desperately want to begin work on my next novel. I have had almost 200 pages written of this work since before my first novel The Dorner Protocol was published. I'm ready to get that work out. I'm excited to speak more about that but only once I'm done with this release.

The editing journey. My plan is to receive the first proof. Edit the proof then transfer edits to the digital draft to create a second draft. Then I order two more proofs. I keep one and send one to my editor. Once we have both completed editing our proofs we will compare edits/notes and make applicable/necessary changes. Editor edits digital proof per edits/notes on second draft. Editor and I proofread the third draft digitally (proof is optional). Publish then fulfill.
