Supporting Our Troops with Free Books: Operation EBook Drop
October 27, 2009
I’m a big supporter of our troops, so when I heard about Operation EBook Drop, I signed up to be part of the project.
When author Ed Patterson met a deployed soldier online, he learned that the soldier couldn’t download books from Amazon to his Kindle
He collects the names and e-mail addresses of deployed soldiers who request free e-books and passes the information on to participating authors. The authors contact the soldiers directly to offer their e-books for free download, usually by a discount code at Smashwords. Soldiers can choose the format that works on their e-book reader or computer.
Details of how to participate either as an author donating books or a soldier receiving them can be found on the Smashwords blog post about Operation EBook Drop. I hope you will help spread the word.

John Walton Faro World Record
September 2, 2009
John Walton is my friend and partner in producing the Gold Seal Bicycle Playing Cards.
On August 14, 2009, at the Magic Castle, using the Gold Seal Bikes, John broke the Guinness world’s record of perfect faro shuffles in a row. If you miss you’re done—you can’t start over. This adds pressure and requires unbelievable concentration.
The old record was 1200 perfect faros in twelve hours. John Walton did 2784 perfect faros in a row in twelve hours. He kicked the old record off the planet!
Congratulations, Faro Man!
To all my Gold Seal Bike users: Starting January 1 2010 to order Gold Seal Bicycle Playing Cards, please visit John’s Web site: www.WaltonMagic.com
