I would love to participate, but I only sell my books on Amazon.
If it gets to the point that I can supply my books, without using Smashwords -- would love to do that.

I posted on my blog about Operation eBook Drop a couple of weeks ago, the post is here: http://newsfromsheilasworld.blogspot.com/2011/07/operation-ebook-drop.htmlMy short stories have gotten quite a few downloads, between the summer/winter sale and the troops! Being in this group has given me such a good feeling, and I think it's a great way to help out our military. Thanks Edward! |

Hi Ed,
Thanks for your program. I put my novels free on the Military forum.
I just got the email with the list. Unfortunately, hotmail cut off the right side of the instruction page.
Thought you should know that, because it's hard to know exactly what to do with the list w/o complete instructions.
Do you want us to email each soldier individually?
Thanks,
Pam

You email the military members in the letter links to yur books. That's how they access them.

Today is a day of mourning in the US for the troops who gave their lives in Warneck Province Afghanistan on August 6th. Please observe a moment of silence today in their memory and for their sacrifice.
Thank you

Just a note: The Operation eBook Drop forum is shutting down on September 1. This is NOT Operation eBook Drop itself nor the Facebook Fan pages. This forum was run by a devoted member and friend - Old Sarge - who we are all indebeted to for his time and efforts. However, since he sent out an annoucement, I've been receiving questions about the program itself. The Program is still going strong and shall continue as long as I do (and hopefully beyond).

I'm going to sign up. I signed up for the forum and posted my ebook there, but I didn't realize there was email sign up and troops list.

While I'm sad to see the forum go, I have to admit to heaving a sigh of relief. I'm sure I'm not the only author who has trouble these days juggling all the different fora and sites and networking that has to get done. No matter how great a cause, having one less spot to check in with hopefully means more new books from all us authors.

Kewl. I often am asked (and even offered) why the program doesn't have a central website. The plain answer is that the program's spirit is a one to one experience, the one I have with the troops - and replicate with every author on the program. The other is, if you Google "Operation eBook Drop" you will come up with several hundred websites, blogs and forum posts with the logo and author testimony. Weblanket the web.
Thanks, Anne Marie Novark

Edward, I got a truly touching email from one of the troops who downloaded my book. She wanted to say that she appreciated this program "more than words can express."
Sure brought a tear to my eye.

The queue is in motion this weekend.
Received from the POC at The USS Bonhomme Richard:
Sir -
I will be leaving the crew of BONHOMME RICHARD here in the near future and am turning over as the POC for ebookdrop to Ensign Katie Rentz (ccd). I would like to thank you and all of the authors who have supported the crew over the last two years. We appreciate your support and dedication to the troops.
If any of you are near San Francisco during Fleet Week this year, please stop by for a visit.
Thank you very much, sir.

PS: I've switched out the email address for new authors joining. It's great to know that the program is still thrive aboard a ship of the line with a huge complement of naval personnel (what is it 5,000)

Today is the 66th anniversary of the Battle of Peleliu, September 15th 1945. Keep the several thousands who fell there in our prayers and remembrances as our freedoms depended and were preserved by them.
