Kindle

Lord what a timesink this is. I have it not only on my smarter-than-me phone, but also on BOTH my computers since it's included in Windows 8.

Now reading "The Stars Came Back" by Rolf Nelson, a co-blogger at The View from North Central Idaho. In the credits is frequent LRoaS commenter Rabid Alien. It's a good read, one that I highly recommend, and since it's already in format would be an excellent screenplay.

Next up is "Lines of Departure" by Marko Kloos, an author who's blog I have followed for some time and I'm glad to see him finally getting the attention as an author that he deserves.

There are several more books scattered in and about the Kindle list that still have a "new" or "0%" tag on them, so I really should be reading more and buying less.

Heh. I hadn't checked out the credits page. Kewl. Had a blast helping edit that work of art, an experience I would love to repeat! The "screenplay" style takes a little bit to get used to, sorta like subtitles on a really good Kung-Fu-Theater (....were there really any good ones? LOL), but the story is excellently written and scripted and you get sucked in to it VERY quickly, so it didn't take me very long at all to get used to the style. It does help make deciphering who is saying/doing what a whole lot easier!

And thanks for the reminder on Marko Kloos' second book...need to get that in my Amazon cart soon!

It was a great read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I got a kick out of seeing you in the credits.

Marko's (fourth if you count his two shorts, also available on Amazon) book was good also...as expected.

I enjoyed Marko's first one, but had caught it on a free-for-a-day deal someone had posted. Same way I got all of Matthew Bracken's books. I wish I had the disposable income to buy all the books on my Amazon list...and toys on my gun list...

I have an offer outstanding to sell me one of the guns on the Guns I Want list...so many guns...so little cash...
