A Wind From The South by Diane Duane- Available as a free download
I found this book available as a free download.
http://raetiantales.blogspot.com/200...-now-free.html It's a book by Diane Duane, and while I haven't read this particular one yet, she has a reputation as a good writer. Last edited by angelyne; 09-22-2007 at 07:17 PM. Reason: added author |

Diane Duane is a good writer. She's done a number of well regarded Star Trek novels, fantasies, and Juvenile/YA works. I haven't read this one either, but I've grabbed it for later reference. (Note: The web site makes it available as PDF, LIT, and Palm PDB file, but welcomes conversions to other formats. They'd just like you to send them a copy to make available.) ______ Dennis Last edited by DMcCunney; 09-22-2007 at 06:40 PM. |

I've created a html and Sony conversion, but I haven't figured out how to get in touch with her yet.

Nice find, and thanks for being careful of the copyright issue, we'd rather not have it at all than have it without permission.

Diane is looking for an RTF format copy to send me, which should be a better base to start from. ______ Dennis |

I have an RTF that I cleaned up if she would be interested. I started with the LIT version. There were several typos I found.

It helped that I had the PDF as a reference to know what it was supposed to look like. I think I did a good job with it. I didn't correct any typo though, since I haven't read it yet. Thanks for finding that email, I'll send her the files soon as I get home. (ps: maybe you should remove the @ symbol, so the evil bots don't get her) Last edited by angelyne; 09-24-2007 at 05:05 PM. |

I assumed that any author would prefer to control the distribution of her work, even if she is offering for free. And beside, the Baen-like formula of offering a free book to generate interest in subsequent works is to be encouraged. Uploading her work without permission would sabotage this. PS: since she did give permission, maybe I could upload it here? Last edited by angelyne; 09-24-2007 at 05:03 PM. |
