10 out of 10 readers prefer DJC

So far, 100% of those who've read the first part of 'The Rage of Atlantis' have enjoyed it immensely.
If you have the time, perhaps you too can have a look, you don't need to register.

If you still haven't had a look at the first 2 books, they're available there too, and you can download it from Amoazon Kindle (well, 50%, I think).
At 18,000 words now, writing is going well, though I need to have a break to study this week. But it won't stop me writing, it can't, it's an illness. Once a book is in your head, it grows and grows. Some cool ideas coming, and the storyline builds up upon itself.
Once this 3rd book is done, I'll concentrate on screenplays for all 3. My readers keep saying how visual my books are, mainly based on dialogue, so it'll be easy to turn them into movie scripts. You never know...

First Interview :-)

My first online interview!!

http://sargakonyv.wordpress.com/2012/05/19/interview-with-dani-j-caile/

Writing is a lexical illness?

Writing feels like some lexical illness. An idea comes, I write it down, and another idea pops into my head when I'm away from my keyboard. Then I have to write it down, add it to the rest. After that I re-read and re-write. Then another idea comes into my head and I think 'wow' where did that come from? And I write it down.
16000 words and growing...:-)

1000 words a day

How to write? Put your fingers on the buttons and press. Hopefully the presses make words which make sentences.
Seriously...
1. Have a theme / idea / point to make
2. Brainstorm and 'flesh out' some of your ideas
3. Look at what you have and make a skeleton storyboard
4. Write write write
5. Rewrite rewrite rewrite
6. Complete :-)
So I'm in the '1000 words a day' stage 4. It's great to see the scenes appear, ideas pop out, characters grow and change. Today, the main character found out that 'humans bred out intelligence in favour of good looks' millions of years ago. And also some information about dolphins :-)

Books available on Amazon.co.uk!

Well, it didn't take 5-7 business working days, it took a few hours.
Man by a tree £5.95 (free postage in the UK with Super Saver Delivery)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Man-tree-Dani-J-Caile/dp/1468048228/ref=sr_1_1_title_0_main?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1337286138&sr=1-1
Bethlehem Fiasco £6.75 (free postage in the UK with Super Saver Delivery)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Bethlehem-Fiasco-Dani-Caile/dp/1469989158/ref=sr_1_1_title_0_main?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1337286248&sr=1-1 
This is much cheaper than it was before, it cost about  £14 from the USA to anywhere in Europe.
Maybe I'll get a few more sales...:-)
Still not available on the other European Amazon sites, but at least Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk are available now :-)

Amazon Europe!!

Createspace just made Amazon Europe available for distribution and buying!
That means my books will be printed and sent out in the UK and Europe, instead of just the USA. That will cut down the time and postage costs!
Amazon Europe includes...
Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.it, and Amazon.es.
So if you live in the UK or Europe (and the USA of course), you can get my books quicker and cheaper! 
I've already cut the prices of my books down to a bare minimum. 
I'd like my books to be available to be read!
It's better to be 'read' than dead.
I don't know when these websites will actually allow people to buy, probably in a few days. It's not like there's a rush...
No, it says 5-7 business days, so I'll keep you posted :-)
