Just been to a site that has a new gizmo.

The site claims to detect which author, your style of writing is most similar to.

Apparently the first chapter of my novel, WITHOUT REPROACH, follows the style of William Gibson (author of Pattern Recognition, Neuromancer, Zero History, and Mona Lisa Overdrive)

Okay, I wish I had his fame and fortune as well - still, you never know.....

At any rate, give it a try and see what you turn out like, but treat it as a bit of fun rather than a serious project. Who Do I Write Like?

Tell Me A Story - Articles
.
You gaze at the stars on a warm balmy evening.
There is silence, not a thing to be heard. You fill with wonder. Astronomy, stars, double stars, universe, what's it all about?
It’s so huge up there. You feel insignificant, a speck, nothing. Astronomy makes us small. Surely we're not alone, there must be life out there?

Tell Me A Story

I've just returned from two weeks in the UK, to attend my daughter's wedding. All went fine - hated making the speach though, but there again that's just me. I just don't like being the centre of attention.

I've been checking through the web and found a little snippet some of you might be interested in.

Apparently the book publisher Knopf Doubleday recently made a comment regarding their latest venture into eBooks:

“The ebook is here to stay. Publishers everywhere are in the process of expanding the number of new titles they plan to make available electronically, and in addition, are making available for the first time older titles that have previously existed only in traditional formats.”

I think it's another brilliant endorsement to ebooks - especially when you consider that not too long ago most of the publishing industry were knocking ebooks as just a 'fad'. Ah well, I'm on the bandwagon myself now, so I've made the committment.
