See the "SampsonVeterans" on www.HubPages.com and as FREE eBooks

HubPages.com is a very fine website. It plays host to thousands of writers - all sorts of writers. Some of those writers are actually pretty good at writing, too - and some of them are not so good. All the same, though, the subjects presented on HubPages vary from A to Z, from zero to gazillion. Even the nationalities of the writers are "all over the map," so to speak. It is a fine place to go to do some writing, and a fine place to visit to do some reading, too. Nothing on HubPages is too long and extra-wordy, and nothing is too short to be uninteresting, either.

HubPages is where "GusTheRedneck" hangs out a lot. So far he has put up about 200 articles. From those have come two whole eBooks, and there are more on the way.  Hubpages is also where the SampsonVeterans are to be found, at least their stories about days in the Air Force are there.  From those, another eBook has been generated and is, right now, being readied for release and for FREE downloading on the Internet. (See the next post, below)

The eBooks available from The FREE eBook Project are all available in the three most frequently desired file formats readable on regular desktop computers and most of the portable (hand-held) eBook readers in use today. Somewhere there may be an eBook reader that cannot handle any of those three formats. Should that be the case, we have computer software that allows us to translate an existing format into any of eight other formats, one of which will likely be OK for the oddball sort of reader gadget.
                                                  

                                                                   

When we complete preparation of a new eBook, we install it onto our download site for anyone who wants a copy. We do not charge anyone for this - the eBooks are truly FREE. In addition to that, our downloading friends can make copies of the eBooks and give them away to others.

There are some books and book subjects that our volunteer authors have not written and which we have, thus, not produced. We go afield to find books like those, massage them as necessary to fit into our own eBook distribution program, and make those eBooks available to all, just as we do for our own 100% productions. For example, soon we will offer a big compilation of books for kids, fully illustrated, and copyright-free. Most of these already-ready eBooks are from the Gutenberg.org library, but some may come from other good sources.

If you are a writer, and if you are looking for a place to display your writing, The FREE eBook Project may well be the place for you to showcase your work. We don't pay ourselves or our writers for their words and their illustrations, but we do make them available to the world in finished, eBook form.  If you want your new book to be a nicely edited and produced eBook, available to interested readers all over the world, we are certainly well worth your investigation. Not only can you have fun seeing your own eBook produced, someone may come along and read it who then contacts you and wants you to write another book or more for real cash. (Discovery works in more than a single direction.)

For the military veterans, we have a dual spot for you - in our eBooks and as an article-writer for the HubPages site. Check that one out, too. ( http://hubpages.com/profile/SampsonVeteran ).

Second "Original" eBook published by the FREE eBook Project

That old expression, "Too many cooks spoil the broth" does not really apply to the number of writers of a collection of mostly humorous "war stories." Ten veterans of Korean War days collaborated in the writing of "Once Upon an Air Force."

This new eBook is to be available for free downloading over your Internet connection on or about June 1, 2011. It contains 25 original tales by ten first-time authors, all of them Air Force Veterans.

Their stories span the time from their days of basic training at a now long-closed base in the center of New York State back in the 1950s, and encompass their geographic service covering many places within the United States, Europe, the Far East, Pacific Islands, and the cold and snowy lands of the Arctic.

The new book is interesting in its diversity of stories. There are tales from radar sites, from jet bomber bases, from movie-making to medical, from marching to mess halls, and a whole lot more.  This eBook also contains plenty of illustrations to go along with the texts.

"Once Upon an Air Force" is available in several eBook formats - PDF, ePUB, and "Kindle" (MOBI). The easy way to get to the downloading site is to go to " http://tinyurl.com/3vo5pb7 " Once there, just follow the links to the eBook selection page, click on the eBook file you desire, and away you go.

Password omitted on future eMail attachments

It has been decided that there is little need to password-protect CDs, DVDs, or ready-to-play (on-media) versions of our free eBooks.

From now on we will be sending out eBooks as attachments without the need for recipients to know or use file-opening passwords or attachment-download passwords.

This should make life just a little bit less complicated for everyone.

FREE eBook Project's FIRST Publication

Well, you have to start somehere, don't you?

The project has started its eBook publishing list with "101 Dumb Funny Poems." a fully-illustrated eBook written by GusTheRedneck, with illustrations on each page by artist, Al Kaeppel (before his recent and untimely death at age 102).

Anyone who wants a copy of this eBook to read and to copy for friends and family can obtain one - free - by contacting the project with their request. Requests must include the recipient's eMail address because the eBooks are sent as eMail attachments.

The next of our eBook releases is scheduled to be a collection of short stories by our team members. It's title is to be "Sampson Veterans Tales," and the stories contain interesting and humorous details of events and places remembered by the authors from their enlisted days in the military.  We will let you know when it is released for distribution.

Here we go ...

Greetings !

We are happy that you have joined with us on our new Weblog.

Telling you much more than that would likely be overkill, but, really, your presence here brings us joy.

Because this is a "blog," no one can quite be sure where the thing will go from here. That is a reasonably normal expectation, right? It's what is known in the blog trade as a who knows. (Those are usually more fun to mess around with than are the we know kind of weblogs.

Join in the conversations. There is a comment facility open to you with each blog entry, and it is hoped that you will make full use of them whenever you have anything you want to add to the discussions.

Like the troops used to say way back in those long-past Sampson days, "See you around the area."
