No I haven't developed a stutter. Just a quick note to let you know about the latest developments over on the Welsh American Bookstore site.

Mindful of the fact that it can sometimes be difficult to find individual titles amongst over 3000 catalogued items we thought we would add a 'Featured' feature to assist you. If you look at the graphics below you will easily see where it lives and how it works. It will display 4 or 5 of the latest featured titles and the product page will link to any relevant author interviews or reviews we have on the site.

All in all a handy feature for checking what's new or for occasional browsing if you're stuck for something to read and looking for new ideas. Enjoy :)

Book of the Day: 9/23/13 'Travels of a Welsh Preacher in the U.S.A.' Interview with author Margaret Jones

"I became involved with the project of translating Dros Gyfanfor a Chyfandir (Over Ocean and Continent) by Reverend W.D. Evans (my gr eat-uncle) after the authors direct descendants had traced me down on their visits from the U.S.A. to Wales. Because the book was written in Welsh, Evans descendants had no idea what the book contained. On one visit, they put me on the spot and asked me to translate this page and that page, so I told them that I would translate the whole book for them."

Might try to feature more at a time. It's supposedly an adaptive template so it should arrange 8 featured titles in two columns of four? We'll see

No worries Ceri, and no rush on that either, there are 3000 books to go before my work has a look in, which is only fair as it's new to the site :-)

That's a pretty cool idea, actually.
