What lies behind you and what lies in front of you pales in comparison to what lies inside of you. Ralph Waldo Emerson
When you give someone a book, you don’t give him just paper, ink, and glue.  You give him the possibility of a whole new life. Christopher Morley
The best inheritance you can leave your kids is an example of how to live a full and meaningful life. Dan Zadra 

Amazon v. Hachette

I've been watching some of the clips and reading some of the blog/newspaper articles on this subject. (Remember some of the owners of these newspapers also own some of the Big 5 Publishers.) I've run across some very succinct articles, but this one I just have to share. Check out C. J. Lyons's No Rules, Just Write blog post entitled "Three Sides to This Fight?" found here: http://www.norulesjustwrite.com/three-sides-to-this-fight/.

The Internet brought about the possibility of the situation which has currently involved Amazon v. Hachette. And while I don't think Jeff Bezos helped to create the Internet, he did have the foresight to build Amazon upon it.

Thanks, Amazon, Jeff Bezos and KDP

Just wanted to say thank-you to all for sending monthly KDP royalty payments. How great is that?
