World War II Plus 75

World War II Plus 75

29-Dec-2015

Dear Friends:

As you may know, my web page, “World War II Plus 55,” is no longer on the web, since the death of my webmaster, Howard Wright, in August 2013. Since then, I have reviewed the fate and future of this project, which was rendered overtaken by time and non-existent by mortality. I'm sure this project will be of some interest to my fellow wargamers. I have been playing SPI and Avalon Hill wargames since I was 10 years old -- which is 43 years ago. I have turned into what will become a series of E-books, a day-by-day history of World War II, timed to the conflict’s 75th anniversary, using my original material (to which I retain the copyright), and substantially expanding and rewriting it, to address errors, include additional information and characters, and generally make it more interesting, and finally earn a buck off of it.

The advantage of self-publishing is that I can bypass the world of agents and am not restricted by space and time. The disadvantage is that it’s hard to market one’s own work. Nevertheless, I am going to try. Consequently, my book, “World War II Plus 75 – The Road to War”, is now available as of this instant, from the Smashwords Premium Catalogue, at the weblink listed below, for $6.99.

Smashwords Books can also be found on major online retailers such as Apple (distribution to iBooks stores in 51 countries), Barnes & Noble (US and UK), Scribd, Oyster, Kobo, OverDrive (world's largest library ebook platform serving 20,000+ libraries), Flipkart (New September 29, 2013: India's largest online bookseller), Baker & Taylor (Blio and the Axis360 library service), Page Foundry (operates retail sites Inktera.com andVersent.com; and operates Android ebook store apps for Cricket Wireless and Asus), and other distribution outlets coming soon.

Additionally, Kobo powers the ebook stores of multiple ebook retailers around the world. Simply by distributing to Kobo via Smashwords, your books will also reach WH Smith in the UK, FNAC in France and Portugul, Livraria Cultura in Brazil, Angus & Robertson in Australia, Bookworld in Australia, Indigo in Canada, Collins in Australia, Feltrinelli in Italy, Libris in the Netherlands, Paper Plus in New Zealand, Play in Great Britain, Rakuten in Japan, Buy.com (now Rakuten) in the US, Whitcoulls in New Zealand, and more.

So for all my old fans who are missing my work and for new fans who want to read about World War II, my work is available for purchase as an E-book, just in time for the Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, and Festivus holidays – a season's present to my readers.

Enjoy…and thank you for your support of my work.
