There may not be additional outlets for the audiobook version of the Jefferson Bible project. I just spent a solid hour navigating the (labyrinthine) depths of lulu.com, trying to figure out how to do an audiobook download format project. The multimedia download options simply don’t exist any longer.
I don’t recall getting any communication from lulu.com [...]

Jefferson Bible project update
Posted in Audio Books, Books, Classic Books, Jefferson Bible on January 9, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Well, yes, the Jefferson Bible project is recorded and edited. However, somewhere in the middle I lost an entire audio channel and I cannot duplicate how that happened. So I’m a little stymied. It will be posted fairly soon to eztolistento.com and thereadingdesk store at lulu.com.
I’ve also decided to try it out as a podcast, [...]

I've finally put the text editing of the eBook to rest, and the final first edition will be hitting the interwebs shortly, followed by the audio book as quickly as I can turn it around. I still chuckle at myself because I thought this would be a fairly quick and painless audiobook to make, just [...]
Wrestling with eBook formats
Posted in Audio Books, Books, Classic Books, Jefferson Bible, Web/Tech on June 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Last week, I knew I would need to find more outlets for my eBook. I knew this would mean reformatting to meet the various requirements of the proprietary eBook vendors (Kindle, Sony, PDF, and etc.).
When I found Smashwords it seemed like a quick fix for all of that. I've hit some snags, but they are not the fault of [...]
The eBook has landed!

Well, we're off to the races now. The Jefferson Bible for the 21st Century! has been released as an eBook on scribd.com. In the first 48 hours it has received over a hundred reads, so that's a pretty positive thing. I checked many other uploads at random and my results were far above the average (for [...]
Publishing Comparisons (POD vs POD)
Posted in Audio Books, Books, Classic Books, Web/Tech, Weblogs on May 26, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Wow. By that I mean that I am truly thankful that I took more time to research the POD / self publishing / vanity publishing horizon before I settled on a publisher for my current project.
No, I've not settled on that publisher yet. Thanks for asking. I was originally leaning toward lulu.com, but all bets [...]
Publishing schedule

The Jefferson Bible for the 21st Century is going to be published soon. I need to (patiently, somehow) wait for the arrival of my proof copy before all systems are 'go'. Then I can turn my attention to the audio book version, and get that rolling.
The text is edited, schmedited, pureed, processed, blended, and it [...]
Comparative Literature

I've decided that since I'm getting close to the finish line on the text that it's probably okay for me to post a little comparison – to show what I've been up to. Below are some lines from the King James Version as quoted by Thomas Jefferson. It's a familiar story. This is from Chapter [...]
