In the meantime, I continue writing. I will finish my work-in-progress this summer. Cheers, Boyd |

I'm only about 1/3 finished with The Ark, but I certainly agree with the favorable comments. It definitely has "blockbuster film" written all over it. Here's hoping Boyd finds a publisher willing to take a chance!

SteveK, I agree. I loved The Ark and I would be very happy to pay for it (as an ebook). The story would be great as a movie.
I've just started The Palmyra Impact and I have The Adamas Blueprint downloaded, ready to read, too. Last edited by cbell; 04-24-2009 at 11:13 PM. Reason: added ebook qualifier |

I have finished all three books now. I just want to echo what I said about The Ark. Fantastic books. Looking forward to reading more.

Just downloaded your three novel. I will start with the Palmyra Impact, as it's the story that sound the more interesting for me.

Boyd,
Wow! I just finished "The Ark" and loved it I tend to agree with the other posts. Why wasn't this given a contract to be printed? Maybe give it a try again? How about self-publishing and / or setting up a paypal and / or tip jar on your site? Thank you so very much for sharing your work with us. I'm on to the next one now... |

Ok.. so I finished the Ark and Palmyra Impact and may I say, WOW what two great stories.. The Palmyra Impact just screams "4th of July" weekend movie. It's a blockbuster in waiting..
But I must admit I am a bit fearful to start the 3rd book cause the last 2 just blew my socks off and I am afraid the 3rd won't live up to my new high expectations from Mr. Morrison.. I must say that "The Palmyra Impact" truly had my heard racing.. that is not a figure of speech.. I was fully on Oahu with those characters.. I was there with Kia, Mia, Lani and I really liked Brad... Thanks so much Mr Morrison for these 2 great stories I'll be starting "Adamas Blueprint" shortly after I catch my breath.. again.. |

I don't know this Boyd Morrison, but I've used Morrison and Boyd's Organic Chemistry a lot

Look up Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable It is basically an ethernet cat 5 cable with RJ45 on each end. It is virtualy identical to the cable that connects most of the computers to the net. So what is so special about this particular "model"? Well, AKDL1 is a special audiophile version. It costs $500 There are hundreds of great, *great*, GREAT reviews of this cable. Somehow, I do not think that those reviews were written by people that actually purchased this product. Go ahead. Check those reviews. But put that cup down first! Quote:

Very Best of David Hasselhoff and see reviews. Again, I highly doubt that reviewers have purchased the item. Disclaimer: I am not trying to compare those three books with the above mentioned products, I just want to demonstrate that is IS possible to write review without purchasing a product on Amazon. |

kacir is absolutely right.
There are no restriction for writing a review for Boyd Morrison books in kindle shop. All you have to do is: The Palmyra Impact (Kindle Edition) by Boyd Morrison (Author) 7 Reviews 5 star: (6) 4 star: (1) 3 star: (0) 2 star: (0) 1 star: (0) › See all 7 customer reviews... 4.9 out of 5 stars See all reviews (7 customer reviews) Click on (7 customer reviews) You will be re-directed to a new page. (Maybe you need an account on amazon.com Maybe not.) At the top of this page there is something like that: Average Customer Review
(7 customer reviews) Share your thoughts with other customers You click on Create your own review....etc. P.S. Disclaimer. I have not read the books and I don't know the writer at all. I am just trying to help a little bit Last edited by astra; 04-26-2009 at 04:27 PM. |

I'm afraid you're mistaken - no one's suggesting you can only write a review about products you're purchased, but if you've not purchased anything from Amazon US (or not for a long time, anyway) then you can't post a review there. As it happens, I tried to post a review some time ago and failed for that reason, but more recently I did purchase something from Amazon US (rather than UK, as I normally do,) and was subsequently able to post a review there.

Oh well, I did buy a lot of things on amazon.com and quite often I write reviews on books I didn't purchase there. I just re-read the explanation about purchasing at least one item with your account.
My bad. Sorry about it. |
