Technological Improvements With Books In Motion

   Let me share with you some need to know facts and info on our new server
The format being used when downloading an audiobook from booksinmotion.com is MP3.
Note: If you use iTunes7, it will make your download process for audiobooks much easier. It is very informative and a simple way to download from booksinmotion.com. And keep your files up to date and in order.
    We have upgraded our server to a very fast and powerful download site. It should cut your download time in half. We have gone to great lengths to give you, our customer a sweeter and more pleasant experience when ordering a download from booksinmotion.com.
     All of our files come in a zipped folder and when you download the audiobook to your desktop or iTunes, all you have to do is click to open. SWEEEET.
    Our genres have expanded into Mystery/Thrillers, Fantasy/Science Fiction, Americana, Classics, Christian Fiction, Romance, Historical, Westerns and Military/Action Adventure.
    We have individual audiobooks from authors such as, Steven F. Havill, Margaret Coel or Frank Peretti to name a very few. We also have thrilling authors that have galvanized a chain of action packed thrillers in a series whose names you might recognize. How about David Eddings, J.A. Jance, Christine Feehan or Edgar Rice Burroughs just to name of few of our groovy #1 best selling authors.
     We love presenting the “Left Behind Series” by Tim LaHaye & Jerry B. Jenkins. This series is read by an invigorating retired Baptist Minister, Jack Sondericker, who is one of the most exhilarating audio-narrators I have heard. Jack has the gift of developing multiple character voices that are very convincing. He is able to interpret the author’s intent while keeping you the listener suspended in the adventure as he brings the story to life. This series will keep you in your car when you should be turning the key off and going into the house.
    So, select a book from our website at www.booksinmotion.com, go to the checkout page, fill it out and download the selection. Click on it and listen to it right there from your windows media player or save it to an iPod or auxiliary flash drive. The experience of listening to an audiobook is from your own player is one you will want over and over again.

2011 SPUR AWARD WINNER/FINALISTS

2011 SPUR AWARD WINNER
            
2011 SPUR AWARD FINALISTS

ABOUT WESTERN WRITERS OF AMERICA
  Western Writers of America, Inc., was founded in 1953 to promote the literature of the American West and bestow Spur Awards for distinguished writing in the western field.
The founders were largely authors who wrote traditional western fiction, but the organization swiftly expanded to include historians and other nonfiction authors, young adult and romance writers, and writers interested in regional history.
  Today it has over 500 members who write everything from mainstream fiction to local history. Its annual convention occurs during the last week of June in a western city. At that time, members, guests, editors, and agents gather together to renew friendships, do business, attend panels, go on field trips, and conduct the organization's business. Each convention concludes with the Spur Awards banquet, the moment when the WWA honors those who win the coveted awards.
  WWA actively helps its members promote their books and articles, and aggressively promotes the literature of the American west, which it considers this country's unique contribution to world literature.
