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!
Posted in Audio Books, Books, Classic Books, Jefferson Bible, Literature on May 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
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
Posted in Audio Books, Books, Classic Books, Jefferson Bible, Literature on May 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
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
Posted in Books, Classic Books, Jefferson Bible, Literature on May 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
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 [...]
