Right now I'm in the middle of the chicken and the egg problem where we don't have enough authors cataloging their publications and b/c of that obviously readers are not interested in using the site.

I've gone back and forth with taking Open Libray's [0] catalog as that would at least flesh out our collection of books but then I'd have to deal with verifying authors to accounts so they can access their books. Which sounds like a major headache and also just defeats the concept of building a community.

Since this is really a weekend project, I'm just going to keep building the tools out to perfection and hope people will trickle in over time.

Luckily for me I just want to write, so the tools I'm building are exactly what works for my writing goals and I think overtime others will find the same value.

Thanks for both links, anything to get away from the algorithm that keeps recommending the same military Sci-Fi to me just because I liked Old Man's War and Enders Game! The big sites should all have a big reset algorithm button IMHO.

As another author I am happy to create an account and pop my "masterpiece" on and re-link it for the 100 or so bots that visit my website every year.

Holiday coming up in a few week's time, so I have downloaded your first book for a read so at least you got something good from your post :-)
