Mahko is climbing.

Amazon just notified me that I am in the Top 100 in Men's Adventure books; actually I'm #84. I know that many of you want to see the top 83 but this is good news for me and enjoyable. May I get a Ramen from my fellow Pastafarians?

Mahko's Knife, Part 1

I started this ebook thing out of curiosity and a desire to see my book in print quickly. It has been fun and interesting. I have had several people curious as to Mahko's story before he escaped to the mountains to torture his hunters, hunt his torturers and return to a lifestyle that was dangerous in the 18th and 19th centuries. For those who are interested I am finishing the edit of part one of the Mahko story, "Water Test," and it should be available soon. In the mean time, I would really love for those of you who have not purchased Mahko's Knife to at least download the free samples and give me some feedback. For those who have purchased and read it, please write a brief review on Amazon or Smashwords.

Listmania!

Alexandra D has picked me out.Listmania! lists on Amazon has listed me and my Ebook "Mahko's Knife" on the "Great Indie Authors on Kindle" list. I have never met Alexandra but I do have to credit her with reasonable taste in writers and books. Like the Academy Awards, it is beyond nice to be considered and also to be included with the other authors on her list. Thank you, Ms. D. for your consideration.

Lakshmi's Prayers

Lakshmi has asked me to continue to post “snippets” because she doesn’t have a Kindle or the “right kind of computer.” I can’t do that but I can do one better. 

“Mahko’s Knife” is now available at Smashwords.com.

Smashwords is a site that translates and sells Ebooks in multiple formats. One of them should work for any computer, just look at the list when you pull up the “Mahko’s Knife.” To go to Amazon click on this "Mahko's." To go to Smashwords click on this "Knife"

I started this whole Ebook project as an experiment. In addition to a fast and easy way to get my book out,  I am convinced that in less than ten (10) years paper books will go the way of LPs and 45s. Like 8-Track tapes and Beta format for your VCR, the only way you will be able to find a paper book is in an antique store or one of those pseudo-60s “book stores” selling rolling papers, ceramic pipes, posters of Bob Dylan, LPs and “books.”

With Ebooks you can load your backpack, purse or briefcase with a veritable library of material, hundreds of books in a few inches. You can carry classics from “Moby Dick” to “The Old Man and the Sea” to “Mahko’s Knife” in the space of a notebook. With the right software you can translate your own desktop and carry it with you.

I feel like a pioneer. I know that I am following in the digital footprints of others but I’m still out front.

Buy digital books. It’s easy, multiple formats, it’s cheap and you don’t kill trees.

 What’s the matter with you people; are you trying to destroy all of the forests? Mother Nature is weeping . Buy “Mahko’s Knife” at Amazon or Smashwords and save a damn tree. THE REVOLUTION STARTS HERE!!
