It’s an interesting site, and I’m glad I have spent some time wandering around it. Yay for sick days! I’ll be back to keep an eye on you.
My own site has been rather dormant for a couple years, and because of one stupid thing I wrote in anger and frustration, and someone else read and complained to my boss about, it’s been moved and archived with restricted access (all by my own hand).
If you’d like access to http://aweaponofmassinstruction2.blogspot.com, just go to http://aweaponofmassinstruction.blogspot.com and let me know you want in. You’ll probably enjoy the ride, although there isn’t much fiction in there, the reality is kinda fantastic.

Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now. Keep it up!
And according to this article, I totally agree with your opinion, but only this time!

Hi Ms. Scott Davis,

You may interested in my new multi-media storytelling platform, called a Quillr. More info below. Cheers!

Quillr’s Mashed Up Media Tells Interactive Page Turner

Online multi-sensory storytelling grabs eyeballs.

SIDNEY, BC — Mystery novelist Nicola Furlong is turning publishing heads with the release of her controversial suspense Here Ends the Beginning. Using a unique, online storytelling platform, called a Quillr, Furlong’s combination of mashed up media offers a cool and innovative experience. Possibly the “…future of content,” suggests Joe Wikert of Publishing 2020 Blog.

Using an “…amalgam of text, audio, video and still images…they have created their own TV-style adaptation,” says Mathew Ingram of the Globe and Mail. “…something completely different – and brilliant,” comments Tyler Reed in Scholastic Blogspot.

“A Quillr is not a book,” clarifies Glynne Turner, the creator of the concept. “It’s an experience where the text comes to life through video clips and photographs of actors recreating the characters and scenes, and reading is enhanced by music and sound effects.”

The platform’s unique website triumphs over concerns regarding online reading. “I’m very impressed and interested,” said Nancy Cardin, Vancouver Island Regional Library. “I loved the graphics and music…it was like a mini-movie and the colors and fonts were easy on the eyes, especially after staring at library monitors all day.” Adds Kamir, a Toronto, Ontario teen, “It’s incredibly user-friendly and spices up the traditional reading experience. Not to be missed!”

Here Ends the Beginning is a provocative page turner in which a reclusive, stigmatic pop-star struggles to protect an astounding secret. The first five multi-media chapters are offered for free, with the full forty-three-chapter entertainment package available for $12.95 USD/CAD.

Based on southern Vancouver Island, BC, Team Quillr includes Nicola Furlong, published mystery author and member of the Crime Writers of Canada; Glynne Turner, video director, songwriter and member of the Songwriters Association of Canada; and Charles Ormiston, website designer and director of n-thuse.communications.
