Octogenarian Ski-jumper reviewed

I'd like to express my great appreciation to Kate Kasserman of Booksquawk, who has posted a review of The Octogenarian Ski-jumper. You can find the review here - and while you're there, check out the best website for book reviews!

I'm a featured author!

In a previous post I put in a link to the excellent bookbuzzr widget which I've used to put in sample chapters - ages 20-69 can be found at http://www.freado.com/users/books/3780/martin-mcgovern. I'd also like to thank Vikram Narayan at www.freado.com, since I am now a featured author on that site!

Bookbuzzr chapters being uploaded

I've had a lot of feedback saying how pretty the bookbuzzr chapters are. It doesn't display very well on the sidebar of this page, but you may have already checked out the full screen version at http://www.freado.com/read/4806/The-Octogenarian-Ski-jumper. But the biggest criticism was that it only contained an arbitrary subset of chapters. To rectify this, I'm now in the process of uploading many more individual chapters at http://www.freado.com/users/books/3780/Martin-McGovern . Happy reading!
