That sounds good, you can work with pooh for the guidance and then just post them here or send them to me and I'll include them.

Muahahahaha! Now, if only I was smart enough to just keep running!

....I'll figure out a use for Alex eventually! But the iPad is mine!

Wow.. Is this thread still going? O_o

Is the contest also still running? Amazing! Maybe its a fake contest, and the winner is the one to do the last post in the thread, without any new content in 7 days?

They had been together a long time, shared so many memories of good times and bad. But now it was time to end the relationship. "Breaking up is hard to do." Literally.

That's an unspeakably cruel thing to do to a Yorkshireman in Scotland!

Authors write, right? You're writing - therefore you're an author. Better than that - you're an (e)pub-lished author

You better be practicing your electronic signature! I'm expecting to see your best handwriting. You don't want to make me pull out my rebar! Wait! DesertGrandma is the one who does the whacking upside the head around here! Where is she anyway?

Have you noticed the thread count for this here contest? You've set the (re)bar pretty high for all contests to come!

Actually a regular signature is just as good as an electronic one. It is simple to scan a piece of paper and make an image to use for eBooks. You only need a placeholder file in the ePUB that gets replaced by the scanned image.

Pooh's going to do the next SIGNATURE EDITION eBook? Cool! I can't wait to see what he writes in my copy.

Just saw your post, Dale. Actually, that is exactly what I am doing right now (literally... signing and scanning in between typing this post). Sign paper > scan and set a transparency layer > import the scanned ink into a flyleaf template > apply a number, so the recipient knows where they were in the sequence > export as an optimized PNG, with transparency. The placeholder in my master ePub is then replaced by the new PNG, and a MOBI conversion is made so the recipient has their choice of formats.

Floating in the moon-lit landscape sounds nice.

Here is another version complete up to the installment posted just minutes ago....

still waiting on a map though... and any comments or suggestions will be accepted...

I am preparing the cast list. I will post it, maybe to night, so that it can be corrected and made cute, at least as our AUTHOR.

Again the script, acting and directing are outstanding.

The adieau to the piggy bank under the moonlight is pure Bergman of the Strawberries place.

Alex in the tent is worth of Dostoevsky.

I have learned from him, just few minutes ago that he is very happy of the turning of the events. Unless our thespian genius has some surprise in store.

Oh, I can't wait for the next act. The tension is mounting.
