I am a retired carpenter who, having a fascination with both the source of the flood tales i.e. the Biblical Flood and Atlantis, and the source of the British Imperial system of measures, began research into the subjects way back in the early 1980s. Given the time involved for research it is clear that these works are not the quickly garnered assembly of frequently dissociated bits and pieces that occasionally have been termed history in recent decades. These are serious works that at long last reveal just what these mythical tales have in common and the commonality is far from that which most would expect. The final results of the research are found in the two works Deluge and Measurements of the Gods under the generic title of Megalith, Masonry, Myth and Measure.
These works have been examined by a number of editors of major British publishing houses but unfortunately the timing was wrong and while a number of these people actually praised the works, it seems that this element of history, in fact history in general, is currently not very fashionable with publishers. As my literary agent stated, it’s a pity but we can’t buck the market. So here we are on the web.

Call me thick but I cannot find the CN authors listing of books on the new set up…just books…what am I doing wrong?

Just a few queries here folks
I tried to post this earlier but something went wrong and ended up in a strange discussion with a member of CN relating to bare bums and peashooters…dont ask!…just write a story about the subject…a poem will do!
Anyway, being serious for a few minutes, I am one of those folks who being a carpenter would prefer computers made of timber, in other words not quite a Luddite but somewhat non comprehending of a few factors.
Regarding e books.A] What format are these available in and what will we be able to offer?
B] Are these readable on all PCs or will that entail a PDF download?
C] Given that there are no printing costs involved, how will CN take their well deserved cut? Percentage or a singular base rate? and what, if a base rate, will this be? In other words how will we price our works?
D] Other outlets, Amazon, Blackwells etc etc supply e books so how will we do it? Will sales be restricted to CN site or will there be a direct link from other sites for download purposes? Will our e books be listed on Amazon, for example alongside the paper versions showing the comparison in price?
E] Given that Google Books are of this variety how do we set about getting listed on Google Books and/ or any other similar sites?
I daresay others on board the good ship CN will think of more things that will require clarifying but these queries I think will cover most options.
Us ordinary seamen await the decisions of the officers on the bridge! At least that is what Gill used to say to me when we had our 17 foot boat many years ago!

Sorry but the attached rather apt note: ‘In the presence of greatness’ did not copy from my profile pic…ok it may have been applying to the word ‘Wordsworth’ but it was over my name…!!!
Now, if you think the term greatness is justified just by my picture… just wait until you read my books…!!!

Hi Oli,
A query with the hit counter…found it at last…
If we take as an example the period Feb 17th to Feb25th , the hit counter registered a jump from166 to193 for Measurements of the Gods. This count of 27 is not to be seen with the chart now visible.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Hi Harry,
Ah, so much nicer now these text boxes resize for you!
Anyway, weird squares in triangles are character encoding problems, caused because the database doesn’t know what to do with some non standard characters. For example there are different ’ and – characters (forward/backward sloping, longer etc). If you want to fix them you can go through and replace them with ’ and -. Otherwise hang tight and we’ll fix them soon enough.
For counters we have a bit of a treat. Go to your book page and click ‘manage’ on the right of the tabs. You will be taken to your book edit page. Then click ‘analytics’ to see your hits and various other stats. You can view them by week/month/year and track your progress. More to come here but let us know what you think!

Hi folks
New set up very impressive. Congratulations.
Two immediate queries ….
1)What are the squares and question marks representing??!!
stories was �hidden� via the use of measures
2) Where do we find the hit counter?
I also notice the illustration quality on the book streamer is still dark.
The site certainly does look far better with the toned down colourations and I feel that once we get used to it it should be much easier to navigate around.
Cheers
Harry
