Hello Paul, Welcome to MobileRead..

Welcome PLD!

Collingwood or St. Kilda?

MrPLD · 09-19-2010, 07:29 PM

Hello Lene1949 and GA Russell,

Russell - that's a trick question for a non-football bloke. I'm waving the Casey Stoner flag today anyhow, won a MotoGP race last night.

Paul.

G'Day MrPLD and welcome to MobileRead

MrPLD · 09-19-2010, 09:23 PM

Thanks cassidym - very nice to have everyone's welcoming messages - nice to feel acknowledged.

It'll be an interesting time here, with my love for all things electronic and software ( quite an Open-source contributor myself ).

Most of my work these days though has moved to promoting our latest book - a lot of learning experiences and also a lot of fun. Right now I'm swirling around trying to pick a suitable price point for our latest novel release ... and also working on broadening our marketing reach. Probably all sounds like yet another "me too" holler

If you're in to high-fantasy, then Elita's latest book lands on the darker side of things - really chewing on the whole mortality aspect of humans and the torment it causes many (anyone who's endured anxiety disorder in the form of health/life issues can really appreciate this book).

We have a 20-chapter ePub, mobi and PDF preview available on the site, simply download. We're also selling the full eBook and printed copies from the site (also the full print copy is available on Amazon of course ). http://elitadaniels.com/?page=books

Many thanks once again for everyone's very warm welcome.

welcome

I hope you do well with your project

Valmore,

Many thanks - nice to see a fellow "Daniels" clan member about

Paul.

Valmore Daniels · 09-20-2010, 11:36 AM

Not many of us hereabouts, but what we lack in quantity, I hope we'll make up for in quality.

MrPLD · 09-20-2010, 11:50 AM

Valmore,

My wife will be amused to see that your WWW domain-names are so similar in format.

Who did your artwork for the covers? At some point we're needing to chase down an illustrator/artist to do the cover on "Tree of Life" as we really want.

Paul.

Valmore Daniels · 09-20-2010, 12:00 PM

The fantasy cover is by Howard David Johnson (http://www.howarddavidjohnson.com) and the SF cover is by Innovari (http://www.innovari.it).
I use Joomla for the website CMS and just grabbed a free template from http://www.bestofjoomla.com/componen...id,46/id,1958/

For some reason, I can't connect to your website.

MrPLD · 09-20-2010, 12:05 PM

Valmore,

Strange that you cannot connect. Try some of the following sites that are at the same location; http://nqrc.com http://pldaniels.com http://xamime.com

Failing that, I can only think that I've got an firewall block that's knocking your connection off.

Paul.

Valmore Daniels · 09-20-2010, 12:13 PM

It's working now ... perhaps a router somewhere between us was rebooting or refreshing. I got all the sites up now! Looking good!

MrPLD · 09-20-2010, 12:19 PM

Valmore,

Quite likely - I'm colo hosted in a secondary sort of area where things can infrequently jump. It's our own piece of hardware but Australia does tend to have its fair share of routing hiccups.

Elita does the writing, I do the web pages, typesetting, publishing, marketing, artwork composition (but I'm not an illustrator). It's all done on Linux.

Paul.

***Interesting that you've gotten a local writer considering your own location***

Hi Paul:

I'm based in France, but after ten years as UK-based, we're actually now registered in Canada and the USA (a very scattered editorial, tech and admin house team).

And, with so many BB authors Down Under now, we'll be opening and registering a fully-staffed Australian bureau based in Adelaide in October/November.

We'll have Australaisian print and distribution based in Oz and will be producing print under a *BeWrite Books Southern Cross Editions* imprint.

It'll open with new releases by Oz authors, followed by a whole raft of great work by our existing Australian authors and we'll then phase in the rest of the BB catalogue, (currently 100+ titles, which is where we like to keep it as old contracts expire and new ones are signed), and, obviously, also release the 'Southern Cross' edition of all new releases alongside the international edition as we go.

Will drop a line when we're ready to roll and all wrinkles in the plot are ironed out.

Very neat new logo for Australasia, by the way. I'll import it from my other machine and post it later (currenly slaving away on a wee netbook, under a parasol and with a chilled beer at my elbow. Life's hell at times, eh, Paul?)

Cheers. Neil

PS: Must take a look at 'Tree of Life' from you and Elita. Sounds a good read. N
