Heh. When it was originally released, the Baen staff billed that story as "Old folks kick butt in space." It's a pretty accurate description.

Many thanks for the purchase, and I hope you like the audiobook as much as you like the web site.

Well, why am I just discovering this forum? lol. Hi guys!! Wow

Well I am an author from Uganda and I'm on just about every social media network possible(to promote my books/publishing). I really tried to cover all bases lol.

This is my blog where I review books, talk about my own two (romance) novels and also how IT can help authors:

Thanx for this opportunity to shamelessly throw all this out haha.

Monthly update
I've added 5 children stories and 7 general stories to the site.

If you are a Rudyard Kipling fan, try 'Just So Stories' -- a collection of children stories about animals and phenomena. I like many of the drawings in the book. In the General section, 'A Golden Venture' by W.W. Jacobs can be a good read while riding the train. It's a short story about two men chasing after a woman rumored to have inherited a fortune.

In the Best Picks section, 'The Aesop for Children' contains many well known fables such as The Hare And The Tortoise, together with lots of beautiful pictures. I also like 'In Secret' which is a story about a young, beautiful cryptographer uncovering the great secret of the Germans to conquer France during the war.

And here we go again. A new review up - this time for Steampunk offering, The Whitechapel Gambit by Marcin Wrona.

Have a read: http://papyrus.calebblake.net/2012/1...-marcin-wrona/

Well, as I see this is an English-language page. I am afraid my e-books (with the exception of one trilingual book: "As a man thinketh" by James Allen, that is in English, German and Spanish) are in German. No, wait: I have a bilingual version of Genevieve Behrend's book "Your invisible power" (about the art of visualization). That said: my online shop is http://i-buxshop.com - and I am on Kindle as well.
Cheers from Europe!

For those looking for inspiration -- or want to help others who are -- there's a page on my Critters workshop site for sharing story ideas. The "Story Idea Seed Garden" is at: http://critters.org/ideas.ht

I've just migrated the comments from an old comment system that went defunct (#!*@%!) so things may be a bit out of order, but the ideas should still be clear enough. Anyone is free to grab ideas there and run with them.

andrewburt · 10-12-2012, 07:26 PM

This probably belongs here since it's a link to an offsite survey: I'm running a short survey on reading habits for trilogies at:

http://reanimus.com/trilogysurvey

It's only a couple questions, won't take but a few seconds. It's a followup to a thread on the forums here; I started this version since I couldn't get a sense of the actual numbers from just text answers. This survey is also getting responses from folks in the Critters workshop and elsewhere, so it's broader than a few comments. Should be interesting. (At least, I think it is.)

Ed Foundation · 10-13-2012, 11:05 PM

I'm writing on behalf of the teachers of the Pleasant Ridge Union School District - they have asked for Kindles/Nooks in order to help engage those K-8 students who are falling behind in reading. So far we haven't been able to get them any new e-readers, and I was hoping to start a program that donates used Kindles and Nooks to schools. You can read about the e-reader program at our Education Foundation website: http://www.pleasantridgeeducationfoundation.org. If anyone out there wants to make a teacher's day by donating their used Kindle, you can send it to Pleasant Ridge Education Foundation, 13440 Countryside Ranch Rd, Grass Valley, CA 95949.

I hope this works!!

My latest review is up. This one starts during the second world war, but continues into post-war Palestine. A drama and a romance.

Hello

Here's another blog post to help you sleep. http://wp.me/pJIxY-aG it's for #the next best thing which is doing the rounds. Unfortunately it's about my books (yawn). There are links to five varied and excellent authors at the end though. ;-)

Cheers

I have created a project (http://www.flagadoo.com/epubs-of-the-classics/) to create pretty epub books of the classics from the text sources in Project Gutenberg. Essentially, I am focusing on:
1. Pretty quotes
2. em and en dashes
3. italics
4. chunking one chapter per HTML file.

I would appreciate any feedback from you.
