My favorite book of the month.
The Librarians of Lisbon. Fictional characters interacting with the actual activities during WW2. Amazing information about how Portugal walked a tightrope between Nazi Germany and the Allied Nations suppling a critical component for the manufacture of weapons.

To concentration camps, prisons and Gas Chambers. Cramped in overcrowded conditions.

Also the thousands of displaced aliens, many cases Jewish people, homosexuals, handicapped, mentally disabled by Nazi values trying to travel to safe countries. Meanwhile Nazi Brownshirts and SS are kidnapping people off the street of Lisbon and other Portuguese towns and shipping them to Germany

An even word count is an amazing achievement. My notes and character development always dwarfed my writing 20 to 1.
Blue Sky is guiding my self discovery. Iโ€™ve just realized one of the causes of my lack of any published works.

It was a farce about beer barrels rolling down the classroom isles, pirates, beer guzzling teachers and such.
Unfortunately we misunderstood and that didnโ€™t bring us in to hear their praise ( we actually knew better, but it was well composed) Our boy was asked to leave the school.

My amazing wife and her woefully inadequate
semi-rebellious husband were called to our youngest sonโ€™s school. The principal, counselor and English teacher presented us with our then, 11 year olds essay assignment on โ€œMy Schoolโ€. As we read it we stifled smiles and then laughter.

I already have made that choice. I make small monthly contributions to a few charities that each fund research for one disease. Those donations are for specific diseases that have caused disability and or death to my family and friends.

Covers arenโ€™t that important to me but I donโ€™t disagree with you that for many the cover is the attention getter.

I donโ€™t mind A.I., as long as it is acknowledged. Before A.I. it was a search for royalty free art for starving self published authors.
Not all novelists artistic abilities extend from words to drawing.

Yes! Please post another. Enjoyed your micro story.

I have kindle unlimited and just downloaded your book.

I just ordered the Kindle version to be downloaded.
The cover is amazing, I had read the novel that inspired it.

I just placed a hold on The Library of Legends at my Library. Thank you for the recommendation.

Iโ€™m enjoying your novel. Just finished your third chapter. I like the way you created the familyโ€™s loving relationship with both children and then brought in the daughter revealing her secret to her brother.

I just ordered it. Thank you for the recommendation. I have copies of his horse photos taken for Leland Stanford. Muybridge has fascinated me since as a child, I saw black and white TV episode about him.

I used my Kindle unlimited account to download it. I pay Amazon each month with the hope( but no actual knowledge) that the authors receive some remuneration.

Im a backer. I enjoy reading the books your group publishes.

I would stop for a 5 cent cake donut every morning for a cake donut after finishing my paper route, 60 years ago. At least in California, paper routes, whenchels, and nickel

I was trying to buy the ebook the link you showed. They didnโ€™t accept the 10off_TS_discount coupon and then they couldnโ€™t take payment without registering at the site. I will try again in a few minutes.

I bought the kindle version of you Kalyn Deere novel. I was surprised by how you casually introduced space flight. Your style kept me reading for two hours past my bedtime. Your characters are so much fun.

I was using Amazon to read the reviews and then locating the book used. Shocked me when I found out that Amazon also owned Abes. But Abes, like Thrift books, Betterworld, and others sell the inventory of hundreds of small used booksellers.

Thank you for the recommendation. I just downloaded it and started the import from Goodreads.
