Last year I had a go at 'Midsummer Night's Dream' with my 6th form ESL class. It was long and difficult, but they finally pulled it off. There's a 30 minute video somewhere...the script and stuff are here...

This year, it's not compulsory, but I'm getting the children who want to try again together, this time do a version of 'Macbeth'. After days of thinking, I put pen to paper, so to speak, and I have a 'role-change' Macbeth play called 'Beth'. It's probably 5-10 minutes long.
Still working on those novelettes...
Thursday and Friday! 'Rage' is FREE! :-)

'Rage' free on Thursday and Friday +
Yes, just a reminder to say 'Rage' will be free on Thursday and Friday.
I'm getting some strange hits from countries which have never come to the blog before, for example, Qatar. All well and good :-)
Busy ATM, working on 2 novelettes, 1 ESL play (Macbeth) and the Challenge stories. Woke up this morning with a great little idea/conspiracy story...Just a few 100 words per day, if I'm lucky.
Looking forward to the 'Rage' promo...are you?

'Beth' FREE + New 'Rage' review!
Yes, 'Bethlehem Fiasco' is FREE today, for another 12+ hours...go to your local Amazon bookstore on the net to get it...here are a few of the tweets I've sent out...
"There are worse things in life than death...have you ever been out with a Czech?"
This book makes 'Life of Brian' look like kids in a paddling pool.
Life of Brian? Tiddlywinks compared to 'Bethlehem Fiasco'

By
Talleyrand
on September 3, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition
From the author of Manna-X... this time the neo-absurdist heir to
Kafka takes us to the parallel world of Atlantis. All the Dani Caile
tropes are here, the flights of fancy, the philosophy, the cool
steampunk mix of old world and new technology. Plus angels, dolphins,
hobgoblins and crazy monkeys. This is the kind of book you read for the
sheer pleasure of reading.

Bethlehem Fiasco 1 day promo 6th Sept
Yes, I'm putting 'Bethlehem Fiasco' ebook on a 1 day FREE promo.
http://www.amazon.com/The-Bethlehem-Fiasco-ebook/dp/B007UJHQ42
There seems to be a lot of hits on 'Beth's reviews ATM, so let's see just how many really would like to read the book :-) And reviewing it would be nice.
I'll post on the day...that's 6th September...this Friday.
I'm keeping up with the Iron Writer Challenge, always good to practise, BUT I've started 2 other book projects...yes, two! One is an 'Inspector Brad Shaw' comedy investigation, the other is a 'Dark Medieval' comedy piece. So, still writing :-)
'Dani's Shorts' is still being downloaded, now with a NEW cover (and working menu :-))

FREE promotion days + UPDATE
I've finally had a look at the 'Promotions Manager' thingy on Amazon properly and it shows I have 5 free days on EACH book. So expect some free days on all the books.
I will be holding a MASSIVE FREE 2 day promo when all my other books (except Manna-X) on October 14th and 15th because I have a special post on EI Jenning's website on October 14th, promoting all my books. So if you want to read ALL of my books and you haven't had the opportunity yet, then...download.
I will, however, be holding promo days before then, as soon as I can enter details into some free ebook websites.
Working on my next book...:-)
Just looked at Smashwords, people are still downloading 'Dani's Shorts' AND 'TDX2'...SUPER!
Also looked at who's hitting the blog...this month the UK didn't even get into the Top 10!
1. the USA (good on ya)
2. Hungary (yeah!)
3. Hong Kong (??:-))
4.Russia (спасибо)
5. Poland (??:-))
6. Latvia (!!:-))
7. China (I didn't even know they could do that!)
8. Ukraine (:-))
9. France (merci!)
9. South Korea (well...:-))

New Smashwords interview + Dani's Shorts update
Smashwords has a new feature...an interview! You can also choose which questions to answer.
So, here's my shot...
https://www.smashwords.com/interview/DaniJCaile
'Dani's Shorts'...I've finally got the version I want up on Smashwords, but the downloads have...stopped. There were tons of downloads while I was playing around with it, trying to get the menu working properly and the cover the correct size, but now...it was even retweeted by someone with over 70,000 followers...and nothing. Oh well. It's out there. Working on Volume 2. And my next book :-)
Reviews of 'Dani's Shorts' would be much appreciated :-)
