Bob the Dragon Slayer - Book Review
This very fun, exciting, fast-paced, warm novella - Bob the
Dragon Slayer by Harry E. Gilleland Jr. ? was a great
afternoon read. In only 99 pages, this poet and author takes
readers on a glorious adventure.Bob, an orphaned peasant lad witnesses a dragon
destroying an entire village and dreams of becoming a
knight. Within a short time Bob is presented with a
historically important magical sword by a strange wizard
named Stephen. The trouble is that no one else can see
the wizard who only appears when people are not around.
This does not damper the doubt in the minds of those
around the ambitious peasant boy.Bob's fierce, but chance victories with dragons build respect
from the people throughout the land. Soon it is discovered
that Bob has royal lineage ? in fact the brave peasant
dragon-slayer that had once desired to be a knight above all
else, is actually the rightful King. Bob becomes the only
hope of uniting the people of his land against an evil King
bent on conquering and destruction.Saving the kingdom with the help of his mighty sword, a
meddling wizard and loyal friends takes the young man on
adventures he had never dreamed of before. Far beyond
involving dragons, damsels in distress, civil war and
romance, he also had to think his way around of legal
obstacles along the way and politics between peoples.This is an excellent book for anyone over the age of 10.ISBN#: 1411633156

Review: eBook Secrets Exposed
Review: eBook Secrets Exposed
If you want to make a lot of money with your own eBookand you only read one book on the subject in the next12 months, I strongly recommend that it's 'eBookSecrets Exposed' by Jim Edwards and David Garfinkel.The authors are both well qualified in this area. JimEdwards has written five best-selling eBooks(including 'The Lazy Man's Guide to Online Business' and'33 Days To Online Success').David Garfinkel is considered by many to be theworld's greatest copyrighting coach. He's anaward-winning business journalist and is also theauthor of several best-selling eBooks, such as'Advertising Headlines That Make You Rich' and 'KillerCopy Tactics'.There have been so many books on this subject that Ireally couldn't imagine how this book could addanything new.But I have never before seen an eBook that explainsso clearly how to do it. I got the feeling that you couldliterally walk in Jim Edwards' footsteps and get thesame results he did (over 4,500 eBook sales in 9 months).What makes this book very readable and enjoyable is thatit's simply a long interview - David Garfinkel asksthe questions and Jim Edwards gives the answers.The book is packed with so many 'insider tips' that'sit's difficult to know where to begin, but one of themost valuable tips is how to find out - before youwrite your book - if there's a market for it.You do this by following Jim Edwards' 5-Step 'UltimateeBook Success Formula'. The formula allows you to findout if there's a target audience that is alreadyactively looking for the information you're about tosell online. And if so, if they are prepared to payfor it.One of the interesting things you'll discover in thisbook is that competition is actually good for youreBook.If you come up with an idea for an eBook and you findthat there are no competing books, you need to getworried - it means there's probably no market for thatidea.But if there are books competing with yours, you're onsafe ground - you know you have a market.And don't be put off by competition: anyone who isserious about a particular subject will buy at least 4or 5 books on that topic.Many eBook authors who make big money quickly withtheir eBooks do resale rights. Instead of making $29per sale, they're making $99 per sale. As you can see,resale rights can get you into serious money veryfast.But there are definite pitfalls with resale rights(such as finding out a few months later that yourcherished information product has become a freeeBook). If you want to avoid these pitfalls, you needto read Section 2 carefully.You might think that best-selling eBook authors don'tbother with affiliate programs. Wrong!Jim Edwards shows you that one of secrets to makingmoney with your eBook is to load it up with back-endaffiliate links. But there's a right way to do this anda wrong way (more about this in Section 5).But the real secret to how Jim Edwards made over$40,000 in one month from a single eBook is jointventures - finding people with lists of 10,000 or even100,000 and getting them to do a personalrecommendation to their readers.On the Internet it's not products that make money,it's lists (products don't sell, lists do). Or as JimEdwards puts it: 'the power is in the pipes, in thedistribution'.Let's say your eBook is priced at $29 and you findsomeone with a list of 10,000 and they do a mailingthat results in 3000 people turning up at yourwebsite.And let's say that those 3000 visits result in 90 to 180sales - you and your joint venture partner are suddenlymaking thousands of dollars in a few days.Jim Edwards shows you exactly, step-by-step, how toset up a joint venture. He even shows you the exactsame letter that he used to set up joint ventures forhis book 'How To Write and Publish Your Own eBook in alittle as 7 Days'.One of the keys to making joint ventures work is whatJim Edwards calls 'the Santa Claus technique' (more onthat in Section 2).A question many people have is how to price theireBook. And it's crucial that you get this right. InSection 4 Jim Edwards reveals his 'pricing formula' -a very clever way to find your eBook's 'breakpoint' orequilibrium.There's another very valuable tip in Section 17 - 'MySecret Method For Slashing Refunds' (this tip on it'sown could be worth the price of the whole book).This is the best book on eBook publishing I've read inthe last 18 months - in fact, while reading it, I cameup with the idea for my next eBook!You can get your copy of 'eBook Secrets Exposed' at:http://www.freezineweb.com/ese.html------------------------------------------------------------

Lethal Option - Book Review
"This has to be one of the best detective novels I have read
in some time ? right up there with Lawrence Sanders! P.J.
Lawton is far from new to the world of writing and he
displays excellent story-writing skills in Lethal Option. He
shares much of the same history as his main character,
giving the detective more depth than could be achieved
otherwise.I think I would classify this book as a 'thriller-mystery'. The
reader is taken on a roller-coaster ride from one seemingly
unconnected crime into another. The main character is a
Private Investigator who has a loyal heart and honestly tries
to make wrongs right whenever he can. Along with his
military history and police experiences, the PI was aware of
and listened to his sixth sense, which allowed him to detect
when things were not quite right ? a lethal combination. In
his private life his heart is beginning to awaken after many
years of slumber and he is faced with a decision that he is
not sure he is ready to make. Eventually the PI encounters
something so great that it changes his destiny, and possibly
his character, forever.I sincerely enjoyed reading and reviewing this book.
Honestly, I could not put it down and I have already begun a
second read ? this time for pleasure. I will be found pacing
the floors until I can get my hands on book #2 to see what
happens next! I give this book the highest rating possible
and recommend it highly to readers who love a book that
makes you think."ISBN#:1413779301
