The Foreigner books have some noticeable echoes of things like Enlightenment and Revolutionary era (late 1700's) England and France,

Don't suggest that to a Scot! :sor: They are proud of Edinburgh's contributions to the "Enlightenment".

I wasn't really trying to omit Scotland, or any other of the British Isles. If I did, I'd have ancestors chasing me ;) . Like most Americans, probably half of Europe is running around in my family tree, along with a good amount of Native American and who knows who else. I just happen to look very paleface.

The new cover on Facebook, is it the 10th Anniversary cover with the standard Foreigner picture that's up on tumblr, too?

Facebook doesn't work on my PC.


Btw, where does one go for the core news, instead of the tangentially related uninformative stuff on tumblr?

Have there been any decisions on what format will be used (mp3, flac, ogg, etc)?
Through which means it'll be distributed (radioarchives. com, audible.com, etc)?
DRM, no DRM?
Price range?
Expected release date?

Sabina -- it doesn't? Hm. You must not have flash installed, or something. By intent?

I'm not allowing Javascript and cookies which quite often translates into Facebook just serving its login screen or the first page of profile, comments, whatever and then not allowing for further navigation.

Though after seeing one like-button too many and the associated wait time for the damn thing to tell Facebook which page I'm browsing, which quite frankly, is none of Facebook's business, I'm host blocking Facebook.


Yes, I dislike that far too many companies are only on these "reveal everything about yourself" social sites.

Sabina:

"New Cover" on Facebook is not the avatar, it's the photo across the top. That changes weekly with a different quote from the book.

Format will vary.

News is mostly on FB or on Tumblr (holidays, sickness and two surgeries among the crew interrupted things a bit, bear with us). Stuff on my website will relate mostly to things I think you're not interested in (just my take on your comments, I could be and usually am... wrong :) ) so you probably won't want to check that out.

Radio archives is old time radio so this doesn't fit for us. I'll fight my partners tooth and nail NOT to go on audible. I know their contracts and what they pay and it's ... how to be polite? ... not good. But we will sell through our own website and others. As to DRM, not my forte so I leave that to my business partners.

As we're not funded yet I can't give you a guestimate on release time. Definitely hoping for this year.

Program will be 6 hours long and affordable.

Please pardon the general inquiry, but I do not Facebook, so cannot look there to check for any update. What's the latest on the audiobook? I love listening to novels and Foreigner in that format would simply be an incredible treat for me.

If you don't need the dramatic reading version, several books are available as audiobooks read by one person on audible.
