    Surely you recall from your days in the church that men do not prepare their lessons in advance.

      I don't know what gave Creekster that idea.

      Thanks, it's a fun hobby. One that like kids (who aren't a hobby), you get out of it what you put into. This is the fifth one I've written, but I've found that all along I'm writing this one. It's always subjective but I feel really good about this one.

        After having read the first however much there is available from Amazon right now I'm curious to see where it's going. I hope you make the next cut.

          Congrats SU. Just downloaded to my Kindle for iPhone. I look forward to squinting through all of it as I try to read text that really should require a microsope.

            You have an amazing amount of creative energy what with this and setting off firestorms on this board plus your dayjob. This is outstanding for you. I wish you continued success.

                I really liked Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall. Did you compare your novel to it, or did someone else write the blurb?

                Sounds interesting and epic in its scope; certainly a real undertaking. That's awesome you started the project and saw it through to its completion.

                Honest criticism: for the next round, take out "matrix," "kaleidoscopic," and "symbiotic" and replace with less pretentious/cliche words.

                    I dl'd it, will dl it to my wife's kindle, and will surreptitiously get it onto every kindle I see. This is a numbers competition, isn't it?

                    Good job, I will read it on the plane this week. Hopefully this is the one that enrages the biblioclasts!

                      Is there any way to read it without Kindle? I'm not into Kindle and don't own one.
                      So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.

                        Yeah, I don't have a kindle. I have a Nook.

                          Just to be clear it was a joke. You said you only ignored people you didn't like and then falafel asked why you hadn't responded or some such and so I just tried to make a little funny.

                          SU, that book sounds great. I look forward to reading it.

                              Get an iPad or Mac (or even a lousy Windose PC) and the kindle app.

                              Congrats SU.

                                Congratulations. My brother is an author, so I have some idea of how difficult it is to get noticed and published. Best of luck to you.
