@desert: thanks

hope you're enjoying your trip
i was just perusing some free online fiction that i've read last year. i can't believe how much better it is than most of the books i actually paid for. but maybe i'm just annoyed at authors who churn out less-than 100 page books, put them in a series and charge exorbitant prices for them. greedy asses.
oh, oh, and not to mention there are typos, misspellings and grammar errors, as well as apostrophes and commas missing. as well as articles (a, an, the). it's too bad as the book i'm reading had so much potential.
damnit. damnit. damnit.
those agency-published books are looking better already.
