Willow Pattern

spindlegirl · 06-12-2012, 05:29 AM

I came across this interesting blog and saw a newly published free e-book on it.

Well, it’s been a crazy race around the clock face for the team here at if:book Australia. Nine writers, ten editors, one designer, a slew of bloggers, volunteers and coffee-bringers, and PressBooks, one amazing digital publishing platform, and somehow we have managed to produce a book. Not just write and edit one, but design and publish it in print and ebook form in 24 hours. A little less than 24 hours actually.

And here it is…

No, just a bunch of igloos and stuff.

Dang! Well, here's what it looks like in my neck of the woods. No igloos; just lots of blue and green (when it ain't misting).

Halifax isn't cold, at least compared to where I lived for many years in northern Ontario.

The concept behind Willow Pattern was to write and produce a book in 24 hours. I find the concept rather intriguing. I downloaded the book and so did my husband. He was reading it on his way to work, and an acquaintance was curious and he sent her the link as well.

I even like the front/back cover of the printed edition.

Thanks for sharing. This looks interesting and I see at least one author in there who's been title-featured for an earlier sf/fantasy small press freebie here.

True that, but I spent the first half of my life in the BC coast (Victoria/Vancouver/Gulf Islands) so I grew up extremely pampered, weatherwise.
