4 New Military Members (Troops) added today - all in Afghanistan. I also have some new authors coming on board.Authors and everyone. Help up out. Go to the Amazon threat and bump us up so the troops can see it. I do it as best I can, but I'm the only one now, so it sinks. When it's kept on top, the troops respond. Here's the url http://tinyurl.com/23ffjjyJust give an enorsement or an ooh-rah!. Anything that will keep it bouncing to the first page. Thanks Ed Patterson

Operation eBook Drop is nearing its 1st Anniversary and we are still going strong with 458 authors participating. (That would fill an auditorium), and at an average of 3 books a piece, I estimate that we have sent out over 400,000 FREE discount coupons to our brave men and women serving to keep our freedoms intact. Take it from this old soldier, we often think of the eBook and Indie revolution (and it is a revolution) as a break through for authors and readers, but there are readers and then there are READERS. And those that lay their lives on the line for us are special and precious. And in that vein, I need to say that there are authors and there are AUTHORS - and I know 458 AUTHORS worthy of this revolution, who realize that the freedom to write and publish is basic to those who serve and read.

Generally I indicate that to the authors, who make the final determination who get their books. But I don;t put them on the general distribution, because new authors wouldn't be aware of it. I believe we've had one request I sent out last year. Ed Patterson |

I LOVE this idea! I'd like to help! I'll gladly give a free copy if they're interested in reading my book. I am available on smashwords, do they need the free coupon code? Let me know if I may help out!  |

Thank you Julie Ann: Just send me an email at edwpat@att.net. I usually do set-ups on the weekends and I'll send you the mailing list and other helpful links. If your book is free, you do not need a coupon, just a link. Thanks Ed Patterson |

I'm signing up for this, too! I have 3 books on Kindle and one of my biggest fans was serving in Iraq when he read my book Dominion. He even had a patch made in Iraq that looks like the cover of my oldest Kindle book (here: http://www.jlbryanbooks.com/dominion.html). I'll send you an email, Edward. Thanks, Jeff |

Hi Ed,
I just wanted to say thanks again for creating Operation eBook Drop. I had another Troop Coupon redeemed a couple of days ago, right after sending the info out to our four newest troops. It's a kick whenever that happens. There's not much I can do for our great service men and women, but if I can give them a smile or two with my book, that, I hope, is worth something.

Welcome to SIX more Operation eBook Authors, bringing our participation to 464 authors. Has there been such a collection of kind hearted Independant people anywhere?

Does OEBD have a thread on the Amazon UK Kindle discussion thingy? I can't find one to bump.
