Booksandnovelstoread

The new website has passed a landmark, more than one thousand self published books have now been uploaded to the site. If you enjoy reading have a look. There are a lot of talented writers out there with many good stories to tell.

I've also started carrying out interviews with notables from the self publishing world. Alex Shaw a Thriller writer whose book Hetman was No 1 on Amazon Kindle. Alain Braux an award winning French Chef whose books are full of healthy eating recipes and a scoop for Books and Novels to Read an interview with Mark Coker CEO of Smashwords, probably the world's largest online retailer of self published books.

NEWBOOK

Hello

I've just published a new FREE eBook on smashwords:-

http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/61424

It is called "Most New Authors get a raw deal from the Traditional Publishing Industry" and is in praise of the companies that allow authors to self publish their books in print or by eBook. Have a look, it is FREE to download.

DNAdatabase

The Spanish Authorities set up a DNS database just three years ago. Since then 7,500 crimes have been solved including581 rapes, 454 murders and 51 acts of terrorism. So what is wrong with a DNA database, the only people that have anything to fear are the criminals. Every new born baby should be DNA tested at birth, every adult and child should be tested. Why are the authorities in the UK so fearful of such a scheme, could it be that they can't control with any security the databases they already have, or is it really about civil liberties. What about the civil liberties and yes the human rights of all the victims who seem to be way down the list when it comes to human rights.

Newwebsite

I've been working on a new website to promote and advertise the books and novels of self published authors. There are hundreds and thousands of good books out there that the public never get to see because the publishing industry wants as close as it can get to a sure thing, either established authors or so called celebrities. I'm trying to address the balance. The website is:-

If you will, please pass this onto all your friends, relatives and enemies, do all us self-published authors a good turn.

OsamaBinLaden

So Osama Bin Laden is dead and buried. Justice has been done.

Now I think there will be a period of in the old saying "It will get worse before it gets better."
