Now that Jeff has me hooked on the Chaos series, I can't believe he went off to write without posting the third book??!! Thanks to him and other writers who help us get quality books we can enjoy anyway, and shame on him for leaving me hanging! Come back, Jeff and post book 3!

And he has a wife and kids, a book under contract to write, and various other matters to attend to. It's not like posting _The Infinite Sea_ is the only thing he has to do. Patience. ______ Dennis Last edited by DMcCunney; 09-10-2008 at 04:33 PM. |

Not much in it you don't already know, though. It talks about prepping the original manuscript file, and how to get it ready for conversion. This is the most time-consuming part. Then about the actual conversion, at least to the most popular formats. Then, finally, about the presence of online communities where people willingly help you get your book into ebook formats. BTW, I've noticed that downloads of Strange Attractors, while respectable, are lagging well behind Neptune Crossing. C'mon, guys--we can't have a downward spiral here! Drink up! It's on the house! |

![]() It will be interesting to see how many Bulletin readers pop up here, citing the article, and asking for assistance. Quote:

I'm so far behind in my reading, it's ridiculous. I've been reading Stross's Accelerando for some time, and have almost finished it. (Here on my retreat, I have both the paperback and my PDA with the free download on it. Been finding I prefer using the PDA much of the time, such as while eating breakfast. No pages to hold open.) |

Perhaps. But meanwhile, they'll probably tell SF reading friends, who will like it. And if they don't like the Chaos Chronicles, they may still be inspired to check out other things you've written.
I view the offer the same way I view the Baen Free Library: it isn't promoting books, so much as promoting the author. People who weren't previously aware of Jeffrey Carver as an SF author now are. Quote:
