Greyman created a website for me with the aim of sharing the 3 books that I wrote about and around the Legion. The aim is to provide a free and entertaining site for people to consult at their leisure. The future aim is for those that have written a book and are despaired with publishers and agents, to share their story with others. The books have not been professionally edited but as you are not paying anything; then you are free to not log on again and try elsewhere.
Later anyone publishing on the site and gets noticed by an agent can withdraw his/her book or essay from the site. Any fees or royalties that he/she earns is entirely his or hers. You may even wish to first publish on the site, just to get some feed back from the general public, before submitting elsewhere.
These first 3 stories are fiction based on my time in the Legion and so is not an actual account of what is waiting for today’s recruit. The spirit of the Legion has not, however, evaporated nor has the camaraderie, so you will be able to have an idea of the behind the scene’s Legion. If you enjoy them, all well and good, pass over the url to others you know who enjoy these types of books.
A very, VERY special thank you to Greyman for creating the site in his own time and at his own expense. I saw it building, from the frontside, day after day and can only imagine what must go into it at the rear end. It started out by me PMing Greyman to ask if he knew how I could go about publishing my book on the forum for members and visitors to read. He advised me against it and backed it up with logistical jargon. He then offered to create a website for me. I said yes of course and added that it wasn't just one book but three and a fourth in the making.
Greyman will be upgrading the site in his spare time once in the Legion, so we should have a tip top site with people sharing their work with others. Eat your hearts out kindle, Sony and the rest. Also thanks to Ossis O. for providing photos which helped to colour the site and put more Legion ambiance into it. The site is not a forum and it is not there to give any advice to people wanting to join the Legion. At a later stage anyone inquiring about the Legion will be directed to the cervens.net forum.
The site name may seem a bit unusual but there is a reason for it.
