This morning I did a search to see what was happing with the book THE RUIN. It was interesting to see what came up. There were a number of references to the review that Gary Presley did of it. Both on his web site, in Clarion Review, and other sites that refered to it. Various bookstores are now carrying it around the world under categories ranging from "young adult" to "modern crime-thrillers" in Brittain-UK. I couldn't tell the category in Pakistan. It is selling for 25 kr per bok there. What a hoot it is to google it.
One of the really interesting Internet sites to come up is one called MQ Mall http://mqmall.com/data/atlatl/ This internet site sells almost anything you want if you go to the home page. When I checked out the link to THE Ruin the ATLATL page came up with various books and related items to the ATLATL. There are page that feature items that might be difficult to find locally if you wanted to try making an ATLATL like the one Cliff makes in THE RUIN or a stone knapped point for the Spear dart. There is a page featuring various kind of CHERT (flint) from various points in the United States. For International customers the MQ Mall uses borderlinx to facilitate shopping. I checked out the information on this service and it seemed on the up and up.
THE RUIN also showed up on MQ Mall's page under CLIFF DWELLINGS featuring many books, post cards, and memorabilia. If you click on a item you are directed to a seller on e-bay or Amazon or various sources. Interesting.
