Re: Weavespinner.net is going off the air.

There are free or really cheap options for static hosting available these days. Perhaps you may want to investigate those? Github pages, netlify or Cloudflare pages seem to be popular options.

Re: Well, hell.

I take it no house contents insurance? Is that even a thing where you live?

Sorry to hear you've had such a bad couple of days :(

Re: Links to Good Reading (Part 2)

In regard to Kindle, bear in mind that Amazon is inconsistent in applying their Community Standards to works of fiction. They, and a couple of the other major ebook retailers, recently ditched a whole slew of English translated Japanese LNs and Manga...while still being an official provider for the...

Re: Conviction EPUB

There is a table of contents, but it is not inline, as I have no real use for inline TOC.

Your ereader, or reading software of choice should be able to use it.

Conviction EPUB

Well, it's been a very long time since I last posted. But anyway, I just downloaded and converted Conviction to epub this afternoon, and I thought others may find an epub useful as well. So, for those who prefer reading epub, here is the complete Conviction, as of the time of posting. Note, that if ...

Re: Firestaff Series in EPUB

I've already started work on the Pyrosian Chronicles. I'm thinking of spellchecking these, although I'm not quite sure how to get my program to use US english instead of NZ english.

Re: Firestaff Series in EPUB

Hey, the covers look great, I may just use them.

As for spell checking, I'm afraid that I was too lazy to be THAT thorough...
From memory though, the spelling of the firestaff works was pretty good.

Firestaff Series in EPUB

Hi folks. I decided I'd continue creating new epub files of Fel's works. Therefore, of course, I decided to start with the Firestaff series. I have gone through each book upgrading things like quotes. All quotes (single & double) have been converted to their left/right 'smart' quotes. As I used ...

Anyone willing to create covers?

Hi guys. I see we may have a few people who know their way around a graphics program. I'm in the process of creating new e-book versions of the Sennadar books. However, black and white text for a cover hardly makes for a nice display in anybody's library. I was wondering if anyone would be willing t...

Re: Subjugation in EPUB/LIT/MOBI

Thanks for the feedback. I've played around a bit more with dropcaps since I made this, and I think I finally have them just about right. I only wish that there was such a thing as a proper dropcap class, tag, or style that ePub renderers would recognize and display appropriately, rather than the cu...

Subjugation in EPUB/LIT/MOBI

Well, I wanted to try out the new version of sigil ( http://code.google.com/p/sigil/ ) so I thought I'd create some nice new versions for ebook readers. I created the ePub using a combination of Notepad++ and Sigil. I then imported the ePub into Calibre, and created MS LIT and Mobipocket files from ...

Fel - thoughts on publishing on Smashwords?

Hi Fel, as always, loving your work. Just had a random thought, have you considered publishing your completed works on Smashwords? I imagine it would give your books a far wider potential audience, as well as provide a conveient place to download your works in multiple formats. If you were to consid...
