Got a big list of new authors and a few new troops that I'll be fulfilling on my day off this Friday. If you are planning to join the effort, tonight, today and tomorrow will get you in my Friday set-up session.
Thanks

Brought on 2 new troops last night, and with the changes in AT&T net email, wow it took over an hour. AT&T decided to limit the number of recipients that can be on a bcc, and then the number per day before they declare it SPAM (I managed to trick their system - so much for old Ma Bell's and Yahoo's security system) - so I had to break our little author family into 16 mailing groups and send out 16 emails (previously it would have been 2), with many error notices because the new security is unforgiving with spaces between the addresses. Thank God for Words find and replace. I might be setting up a Yahoo group or something in the near future. Patience to the 7 authors waiting set-up. Tonight's the night.  In the meanwhile, everyone visit our UK stging site: http://oebduk.blogspot.com/Ed Patterson |

Who would have believed only a few months ago that we would have more than 400 contributing authors.
Ed, bless you on this Memorial Day weekend for putting all of this together. Things like Operation eBook Drop don't just happen, someone has to bust their azz to make it successful.
Jim

Thanks Helen and thanks Jim.
I just received this beautiful poem from Bill Flynn, which I am posting here for memorial day. Thank you Bill:
======================================================================
WHITE CROSSES & A Wall
I saw them at the Anzio beach
As far as my eyes could reach
And at Normandy those crosses all white
Thousands lost in an invasion fight
And at Luxembourg in equal space
A general next to a private’s place
At Hawaii’s Punch Bowl lined in file
Buried Pacific warriors, with Ernie Pyle
Many white crosses all in formation
Brave young lads who died for their nation
I wish I could say no more that’s all
But in DC there’s a wall
Where relatives go to find a name
Of those lost in Nam a war of little fame
Not far away in DC another a memorial site
For the 54,246 lost in that Korean fight
Now in Dover, Delaware no cameras to pan
Land the bodies in from Afghanistan
Let’s remember on this Memorial Day
Their lives were a terrible price to pay
All those white crosses & names on a wall
When will be able to say no more that’s all
By
Bill Flynn, Author of The Feathery & A Deadly Class Reunion

I've written a blog post supporting eBook drop: http://blog.dawsonvosburg.net/2010/06/operation-e-book-drop.htmlI really believe this is a good cause to give our troops something to do while they're waiting between missions. I believe troops will really appreciate. |

Our initial poll is still going strong, would you believe it. I was going to shut it down, because it was meant to determine whether the program was worthwhile startng, but we'll let the poll fly a little longer.
