Oolite Bulletins

Downloaded to my iPhone Kindle app. Will have a read of it after finishing Great North Road and The Hydrogen Sonata.

thanks Tricky - I'm 1/3rd the way through - having read Drew's story first - there's some amazing stories - you should love it!

Finally finished Great North Road (all 1087 pages), so I'm going to put The Hydrogen Sonata on the back burner until I've read this. I'll hold you to the loving it part.

I am happy to be held! (oo-er missus!) With 25 stories you can't help but love some of them and they're all good (even mine!)

bought one on Smashwords.

Thanks Rxke!

Bought last night on Smashwords.

... If only one could buy actual TIME online to read books....

Cool! All the support is much appreciated.

If any of you like it and are so inclined a review is always useful to tempt the late adopters...

I was in a room when an admin girl asked the IT supply team if they could fax her the new roll of paper for the fax machine rather than bringing it over in the delivery van, because it would be quicker and she needed it right now...

So, buying time? Hey, why not.

It would also cost £3.15 per page.

And I thought this was an urban myth...

Later, same girl using our newer all-in-one fax machine as a photocopier took out the ream of A4 turned it over in the tray and closed the tray again - her pages continued to come out blank - she hadn't considered that perhaps she hadn't put the sheets she wanted photocopying in the hopper face up as indicated by the drawing on said hopper... (she was perfect at answering the telephone which was her original and main job, but anything IT...)

DH, I really think your Baby Babble story deserves to be expanded upon. You have a very nice setting for something bigger there. Yours and Drew's story are the only ones I have read so far, but it's already worth the investment.

Thanks Gimi! It was originally a 3K story trimmed down to fit the Competition entry criteria - I was also using it to test to see if there's enough idea for a novella if not a full blown novel, and yes, I think there might be!

Thanks again for the feedback, much appreciated. (and I am going to steal your quote!)

I've spoken to Daniel Grubb who runs Fantastic Book Publishing, he's very pleased with UK/European sales, he indicates that our US cousins are a little slower on the up take, if anybody has bought Fusion, liked it and has a few seconds to spare, a review on the Amazon US site would help a lot (apparently - I have no idea how the Amazon algorithms work).

Once again, on behalf of myself (and Drew no doubt) and the Cancer Charity who benefits directly from the sale - thank-you!
