I read this post with interest, thinking my dad would really enjoy this book. Unfortunately, he's old school and doesn't use an e-reader or an e-reader app. The downside to publishing to Kindle, I guess.LD Mastersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01202135756299574972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-49226502788137359022013-06-19T09:53:09.717-04:002013-06-19T09:53:09.717-04:00Ruth, I've always been fascinated by WWII era....Ruth, I've always been fascinated by WWII era. There is a different mentality because people were different and had different values. Even though there was a war they were surprisingly optimistic and pulled together for the good of all. I enjoyed the photos. When I was a kid, my parents had boxes of LIFE magazine--what an adventure that was. :-)<br /><br />Kindle is a fabulous opportunity for today's readers and writers.<br /><br /> <a href="http://www.siamckye.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Sia McKye OVER COFFEE</a>~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-64554785934102020232013-06-19T09:41:59.007-04:002013-06-19T09:41:59.007-04:00What a fascinating interview, and interesting to h...What a fascinating interview, and interesting to hear Ruth's take on the industry. Although I believe the small press is still extremely viable as a means to partner with a reputable publisher and get your work out quickly, I agree with her thoughts on agents and the old system that took YEARS. Then the book has 6 months to prove itself before disappearing. That system is definitely on its way out.Karen Jones Gowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153821980625034810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-75875772374348358012013-06-19T07:41:05.537-04:002013-06-19T07:41:05.537-04:00Mason - Thanks for hosting Ruth.

The camp sounds like a fascinating place, and it's always interesting to see how military and civilian people interact on bases like that. Thanks too for those wonderful 'photos.

Ideas, original stories, and understanding take time and collaboration.
