"Will do Brian! I'm looking forward to reading it very soon. I downloaded my Kindle free so I could read Alwyn Parry's (AC member) wonderful book 'A Quarryman's Son' - highly recommended! "
Swansea Jack commented on Brian Stephen John's blog post Giving away books on Kindle"Apparently (it's my wife's Kindle, so I have not verified this) the book on Kindle is audio-enabled. That, as I understand it, means one can listen to it read by someone else - and thereby rest your own arms and…"
Brian Stephen John commented on Brian Stephen John's blog post Giving away books on Kindle"Enjoy, Iona! It must be a very different reading experience from reading a conventional paperback. I don't have a Kindle myself, and have no intention of getting one, but since there is clearly a market out there, one must explore…"
"I'm getting one too, can't wait to read it over the half term holidays, one more week to go!! "
Brian Stephen John commented on Brian Stephen John's blog post Giving away books on Kindle"Thank you! Hope the process went smoothly. Nudging 2,000 downloads now -- no earnings, but quite chuffed anyway!"

Very interesting business, this. Having put 5 of my Angel Mountain novels onto the Kindle Store on Amazon, everybody has been telling me that I must do a free promotion. So I have set it all up, and "On Angel Mountain" is available free, for 5 days (that's the maximum allowed in a 90-day period).So far so good. But it's incredibly difficult to find a new "freebie" like this on the Amazon web site. There is a "top 100 free Kindle books" page, but to get onto that you have to have some free…See More

"Wow! That's a very interesting one ---- is it as thin and flimsy as it looks? Or is there a flat face that we can't see from this direction?"
Profile Information
- About Me:
- I'm a writer, publisher, environmentalist, husband, father, grandfather, rugby supporter, gardener, naturalist, reader, music lover, and hillwalker -- in no particular order. Best known, I suppose, as the author of the best-selling Angel Mountain Saga -- seven novels so far, with total sales (all editions) of well over 60,000 copies. The heroine of the stories, one Martha Morgan, now has a cult following of her own, and the "sacred place" of the novels, Carningli in Pembrokeshire, is itself a place of pilgrimage......

Hard grind, but I hope it's worth it...... I've spent most of the last week formatting and uploading five novels for Kindle, available from the Amazon websites worldwide. They tell you it's incredibly simple -- and indeed it is, if you want to upload any old rubbish. But if you want a…

The big BBC Wales TV series (made with the cooperation of the OU, Uncle Tom Cobbley et al) has shown two programmes out of the six so far -- and it's proving to be a grave disappointment. The BBC calls it one of the most ambitious series ever produced in Wales. Hmmm. It's full of technical wizardry -- history and archaeology programmes these days clearly have to have computer generated reconstructions of absolutely everything, so as Huw Edwards paddles around in a little rowing boat on…

I hope there are some out there who will agree with me that BBC Wales has been somewhat tardy is using its fantastic skill in the making of TV dramas for programmes about Wales. I don't think it has ever made a costume drama set in Wales and designed to show Wales to the world in the way that Poldark…

Ann Carrington-Smith said… Just wanted you to know that we are fine, hope you and your family are too.
Bob had a urinary track infection he is better now. I fell and hurt my tail bone, that was very painful but is better. On top of that we have just been having an enormous amount of things to do at our house, and we have been trying to stay focused and do as much as we can (a lot less than we used to do), it's all very frustrating.
Our love to you and your family, have a nice Christmas and don't get sick this year!!
I have not been on this site much, just haven't had the time.
