News about the website of author Alan G Brown.

 

December 2008: New for 2009: A Donation button will allow those who wish, especially if they have gained Family History information, to make a donation that will allow further work to continue on the Family History, and to help keep these hundreds of pages on the Internet. Donations may be made on either the main Home page or the Genealogy page. December 2008: "The Far Lands" will be unfortunately delayed. November 2008: Preparation work is just about complete on "The Far Lands" and only needs converting to pdf format and uploading. However, this will be delayed indefinitely for various reasons at present. Also, a new title will be used, which is more catchy. Keep watching for updates. A good picture is also needed for the cover. November 2008: A larger typeface has been used on the non-geological part of the website. If it is too large, then you can change it in your web browser. October 2008: Lulu changed their price structures on 28th October 2008 which will result in price changes - I am still thinking about it. September 2008: The SF novel "THE FAR LANDS" shown as coming soon in the later published novels will be released prior to Christmas 2008. The author may change the title before then for two reasons: (1) It sounds bland, (2) The title is too close to the SF series of at least nine books that may follow shortly afterwards. Also note that this novel may be given an ISBN number for worldwide release through all High Street and Online bookshops, including Amazon etc. Interested readers can reserve a copy now by emailing the author through the "Contact" page on this website. The price will not be known until nearer the release date. Watch this page for updates. August 2008:  Decision to produce each novel in hardbook form. These will not be shown on the Lulu website as available, as they will be for personal use only. However, the opportunity to purchase a volume in hardback may be allowed in limited numbers through the author's website. Artwork needs preparing for the dust covers, and this may take time. It is doubtful that the number of hardback books printed will exceed fifty copies, and may be limited to family and those loyal readers who have purchased at least two other books.  July 2008:       Work started on updating some of the old novels. This includes improving the layout and getting rid of a few more errors found since. May 2008:      New-look website launched. March 2008:   Alternative publisher sought. If you know of a publisher, preferably in Norfolk, that can produce quality books competitively, then the author would like to hear from you. December 2007:  Does anyone have any historical information or stories they can supply regarding housing, clothing, food, and general living conditions in the town of Great Yarmouth in Norfolk for the period 1900 to 1905, please? All help will be acknowledged. December 2007:  Does anyone have any historical information or stories they can supply regarding housing, clothing, food, and general living conditions in the hamlet of Pill, Somerset, for the last five hundred years, please? Anything you can give would help the author dramatise his family tree in that area. November 2007:  Making 1/12th Scale Hats added to website. September 2007:  A Prayer for Jara published. June 2007:     Sabre published. May 2007:     Devine Retribution published. April 2007:     Snax published. April 2007:     Deserve to Die published. March 2007:   The Life Pool published.
