Apologies to all my loyal blog members, and thank you for your patience over the last few weeks…

Those of you who have tried to access my blog site during May and June experienced a very slow response, or, occasionally, no response at all, throughout the day. I have been investigating potential solutions, including using FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) to speed up the PHP programs. I was close to implementing this solution, but had actually made no changes, when the response times suddenly improved dramatically earlier this week. #blog #server #performance #ebooks #altairslc

Saving money buying books directly from the publisher and this blog site

The book prices shown below were correct at time of writing, but should be verified before purchasing. All books can be purchased using links from this blog site at The Book Table. Note that Amazon is convenient, but usually more expensive, so you will pay more there, and authors will receive lower royalty payments. It is, of course, your choice, but please support independent authors by buying their books on publisher sites, or directly from their blog sites, and save money at the same time!

My paperback books now have permanently lower prices on Lulu.com than on Amazon!

Since November 2025 I have been reducing the prices of my paperbacks on Lulu.com in "odd" months, because I felt that the price hiking used by Amazon and other resellers was unfair to both my readers and me. I have now found a way to permanently reduce the prices on Lulu.com by creating duplicate book projects, one for resellers only and the other just for Lulu.com. #sas #books #altairslc #lowerprice #luludotcom #amazon #paperback
