Here is the latest... I've finished my youth fantasy book entitled "Gracie Twofeet". However, I have some edits to make and some little corrections to make it better. I've taken some time off from writing for the last few months, but hope to have the final edits done before the end of this year.
Also...for those of you who use Amazon.com's KINDLE reader, "Trigger" is now available in Kindle format.

The 2nd edition of "TRIGGER" is now being sold, which includes just over 40 minor corrections (mostly typos) that hadn't been made in the first edition. It feels good to know that the book is just that much better now.
Initial feedback from readers is very positive. For example, here is a review that was posted to the Facebook group, The New Reads Underground:
It’s the year 2075 and Droids have taken over the Earth forcing humans to flee the planet. Time jump to the year 2155 where humans are struggling to survive in space, but the human spirit endures. Conflicts arise, however, when some wish to reclaim what they feel is rightfully theirs… Planet Earth, while others believe they are better off making a permanent home in space.
Most Science Fiction or Fantasy comes down to good versus evil… a tried and true system that will never disappear.
Todd Durant adds to this, however, by shining a light on the human race, with all its good, bad and monstrous qualities, as a whole. Showing that sometimes even the best of us can fail, and with disastrous consequences. No single person is ever completely right or wrong.
Brilliantly written, this first time Author holds the attention of Sci-Fi and Non-Sci-Fi fans alike. At first, the jump between time can be a tad jarring; but, with each line you read the story develops into a cohesive journey, causing that sought after phrase, “I just couldn’t put it down until I’d read the final line!”

It has been a 3-year journey writing and preparing my first novel for publication. Now that particular journey is over as TRIGGER is now available to order through Amazon.com or through BarnesAndNobel.com and also directly from me, right here on this page. Of course, I make a few dollars more if you buy it directly from me.
Hopefully, this is only the beginning of the longer journey, which results in more books and more opportunities to share my interests and stories with you!
I've also added a link to my blog on this homepage, which hopefully will work (I'm still new to the RSS Feed protocol). You can always go directly to the blog by going here: http://toddiovision.wordpress.com
My son, Dylan, and I have been making simple music videos lately. Here is a little showcase of some that we've made, using his cheap digital camera. Yes, this is how to make music videos on $1 or less.
I'm also working on my second novel-- a sequel to TRIGGER, tentatively called TARGET. I like the way it's going so far.
I've also finished a piece of youth fantasy, just to try something a little different. It's meant to be fast-paced, somewhat unpredictable, and funny. It is called, GRACIE TWOFEET.
