§ Sandy Raschke has a new chapbook,   Prevailing Winds, A Collection of Country and Nature Poems. The mini-chapbook  is now available by mail order.  Copy price is $5 each, includes free shipping, and will be signed upon request. 

§ Loring Emery has uploaded three of his books to the new Kindle service.  For every download to the Kindle, the writer gets a commission, which is paid out about every two months.  According to Loring, there are simple instructions available to get your book into circulation:  Go to Amazon DTP (Digital Text Platform) Support, and follow the instruc-tions. If you don't already have one, you'll need an Amazon account number--it's easy to do and there's no obli-gation to actually use that account to make purchases.

§ Laurel Anne Hill, author of Heroes Arise, has been very busy attending various writers’ conventions and doing podcasting from her bedroom closet.  To see her latest story, go to her podcast site: http://laurelannehill.libsyn.com.   “The Grave of Mario Bandini,” is 30 minutes long and is also available at iTunes. Note that the story does contain some profanity. Also, her story “Thar Be Magic,” has been accepted for the Rum and Runestones Anthology published by Dragon Moon Press, which should be available soon
