Novel Revamp

Ben Ditmars' novel, Gnomes of Coyûl is now Available on Amazon for Kindle and Print.

Hello once more my Spicers and Spicettes.  I've been working on a Summer project that I just recently finished.  I wanted to revamp a novel, Gnomes of Coyûl I put on Kindle last year.  And revamp it I did: new cover, more appealing format, the works.  The best part is, all of this greatness, is also available on paperback.

Do you own a Kindle?  Then this your place!

Do you desire a more timeless paperback?  Then click right here!

As always, if this post is lost in the ether of rantings, Witherspork, etc. you can find these same links underneath the Books tab above.  Also, what book is complete without a Twitter feed?  And a jolly good Facebook?

Gnomes, Gnomes, Gnomes by Whitney Taylor

My friend Whitney, who blogs at Witty Whit's and is always a supportive and truly great wrote a wonderful fan poem for my novel Gnomes of Coyûl.  I'd like to share it with you all here.

Ben made gnomes

Gnomes gnomes gnomes

How I love them gnomes

Cute little men in beards, tall hats, and coats

And women in their cute hats and dresses

Living in the beauty of nature

How small they are and size up to a tree

The trees stand like towering giants

Through the four seasons this is their home

They are quite like us you see

They love, fight, and dream

Gnomes gnomes gnomes

How I like how it sounds on my tongue

Real as you imagine them to be

Links and E-Houskeeping

The reading at the Palace went wonderfully last night.  Thank you to all who showed up!  If there's a charity you're perhaps looking for, the topic of my reading was the tragedy in Tucson earlier this year.  So, please, if you can, donate to the Christina Taylor-Green Memorial Fund.  She was the nine-year old girl shot in the senseless chaos.  Christina was very into helping the less fortunate children of her community when alive and this helps continue her work.

On another note, I've added an abundance of new links in addition to the last:

You can now view my writings accepted by the Cornfield Review (2010) online by clicking the links under the Babycakes section.  Also, the Shine Journal has accepted a Flash Fiction you may remember me posting entitled Wisconsin.  A link to that is also available in the same section.  Furthermore, there are links under Flings to the publications themselves.  So check that all out!  And, if you've done all this and your appetite is still insatiable, you can as always read my novel Gnomes of Coyûl on Kindle, Nook, or paperback!  Phew, dense post, eh?

Gnomes of Coyûl in Paperback

Ben Ditmars' novel, Gnomes of Coyûl is now Available on Amazon for Kindle and Print.

It's finally happened. Gnomes of Coyûl is now available in paperback via Createspace.  So, enjoy this tale on 100% real paper!  Or, 90% real paper.  Either way, it's pretty good.

And just in time for the holidays!  That includes Kwanzaa, but sadly not Hanukkah.  Sorry Israel, there's always next year.

Kindle

Ben Ditmars' novel, Gnomes of Coyûl is now Available on Amazon for Kindle and Print.

My first novel Gnomes of Coyûl (The Crystal Staff) is now on Kindle.  If you don't have a physical Kindle you can always download the PC application.  From there you can get a few sample chapters sent for free; look for the button on the right of the first link page.

But, before you about doing any of that, I'd like to give a heartfelt thank you to all of my loyal blog fans who have and continue to encourage me.

Lagers & Gnomes

I think I am beginning to wind down in the writing of my gnome novel. But, don't feel bad for me. I just feel I've tied up the remaining lose ends and plot holes that can befall even the best written works. If it manages to get published all my loyal readers can certainly bet on a free signed copy.

With that said, I wrote a poem on Landshark Lager's Facebook page. Apparently they're putting peoples' comments on scrolls inside of their bottles. It's a promotion for a contest where the prize is a trip to Key West. Anyway the topic was why do you need an escape:

I need an escape.
A lovely view to gape
Upon and see the shape
Of ladies in the cape
That feed me grapes.
