Author Talk "Spot light" 2

Here's another example of a great independent author that deserves to be in the spot-light! This is quite interesting Clive S. Johnson has one vast background to stand on. Clive has knowledge in the IT field and the corporate positions. He's done great things in the print industry & now spends his time writing, and he does that very well. Have a check at his book and see what you think.  Amazon

Author Talk "Spot light"

Spot Light is on Benjamin X. Wretlind this time!

Here is an author which I can appreciate, Ben from what I have read on his sites is sort of a 'Jack of all trades" if you will. He seemed to dabble in a little of everything from a fry cook, meteorologist to a room service attendant and everything in-between.

Now Ben is writing books and darn good ones at that! Benjamin on Amazon , Engaged and raising 5 kids

I wanted to put Ben in the spotlight this time around because of inspiration to me, and perhaps others. This kind of story just goes to show you that you can do whatever needs to be done & still accomplish your true passion, which for Ben is obviously writing, just take a look at his books hes already written, published and are now for sell on Amazon and elsewhere perhaps. I would personally like to say thanks Benjamin!

Benjamin X. wretlind, you've been Spot Lighted.

Amazon Kindle Touch (Review)

Cheaper than Paper - When you consider that Kindle-edition books are often the least expensive format on Amazon, even for new releases, if you read regularly it's a no-brainer. But that's the simple math. There are lots of low cost or free books available. And most impressive is the new Prime Lending program. With a Prime membership, one can borrow relatively new best sellers for free (up to 1 per month). Figuring one does this six times a year at $9.99 each, that alone covers the cost of the device over a 2-3 year life. Throw in library borrowing, which varies by area but is fairly broadly available, plus friend book lending for up to 14 days, and there are even more cost saving options.

Convenience - When traveling with paper books, I always fretting bringing along a book I was close to finishing as then I would need a second as well. With the Kindle, I always have all my books in one place. I also find myself reading in places I otherwise wouldn't: At doctor appointments, having my car serviced, waiting in the car for someone. The Kindle is so easy to bring with me that I nearly always have it.
