As some of you may know, I began a third blog (or rather I was preparing to begin a third blog) called Featured eBooks. After some work, I’ve realized that I just don’t have time to do it justice. So, I am going to post the books that I intended to feature right here. This will give me a bit of a break from writing over the next few weeks as I wrap up the end of the school year, work on my Master’s, and prepare to start teaching summer school.
Book Number 1
The Golden Ass
by Apuleius (Translated by Robert Graves)
$ FREE
Two thousand year old erotica as translated by latin scholar and author Robert Graves. A boy is turned into a donkey and hilarity ensues.

I have another blog going on at featuredebooks.blogspot.com. Featured eBooks will someday expand into something noteworthy. For now, I’m just posting links to some of the great ebooks that are available– mostly free– on the net. Beginning June 1, It’ll have an ebook a day.

Spinning off my other interests– history, ebooks, and reading, will allow me to focus this blog more directly on my writing. I’m sure a bit of almost everything else will find its way in anyway.
