Online Translators... (Good or Bad for the Author?)



I recently posted that I had used an online translator to create versions of my books in other languages.  I wanted an inexpensive way to go about sending my books out there and they be understandable.  I put a "Note from the Author" section in the beginning, or end, of each and asked that I would be given some feedback. Well, if the old saying that "No News is Good News", then it must have worked like a charm… I have had no feedback…    ;-)
If you are the receivers of one of the translated books, please send some feedback.
Thanks!

Projects…



Recently, I noticed that Amazon, iTunes and Audible have joined forces to bring more audio books to the public.  They're doing it through a joint effort called ACX (https://www.acx.com/) {Ok, Audible is owned by Amazon, but still…} Why is this significant to you, the Kindle reader?  All those books that you buy on Amazon, can now be listened to in your car by a voice that's Human!   I actually saw them on Facebook and thought, Cool.  I can have my books made in to audio books!  
So, while I'm currently working on Part Three of Twilantia: The Making of a King, I'm also having Part One made into an Audio Book through ACX. (Available by December 22, 2014).  I'm planning on beginning production of Part Two in January, 2015.
So, Happy Reading and now, Happy Listening!
