The Greatest Escape - a free eBook

[Fez of Mahrez]

Union FS made their new website live last night - http://www.unionfs.co.uk

 

I think the people who run Union FS have done a brilliant job so far and it's great that they've now got a website to match.

 

The website hosts a 50-page mini-book I've written about the period between February and May, which I wanted to put out there for anyone who wants to have a read.

 

This is a diary I started writing at the time. It got difficult at one stage when it looked like it was just going to be a catalogue of misery, but it was worth persevering and actually, I hope, ends up being a worthwhile record of an important time in our club's history. It finally clocked in at just under 23,000 words.

I'm also indebted to ttfn who gave extremely valuable feedback as part of the writing process.

 

All feedback gratefully received. Hope you enjoy it.

 

Cheers

Good question - I figured if there was enough interest I could look into converting it from a Word doc or PDF into ePub or something like that. I'm not sure how it works but I'll give it a go when I get a chance.

Looking at the tifo pics again - really shows what a great set of fans we have.  Where other clubs would put together a 'manager out' campaign, our lot went for a clear statement of backing the club.  Long may it continue.

(I'll read that 50 page summary when I'm not killing a few short minutes at work!)

Its quite easy to do with Amazon. They take you through the steps. If you don't want to charge you could always ask for a donation to a charity. Don't know how that would be done through Amazon though.

I'd prefer to avoid Amazon if possible, but I'll look into it. Cheers.

Great read Fez 

[General Smuts]

What if you can't read? Can you convert it to audiobook and have Alan Young read it?

 

Asking for a friend.

Could I download it to a Kindle app?

I've downloaded it directly from the website to the kindle app on my iPad. I should imagine you'd be able to do the same on your mobile.

Also you're kindle app will have an email address, download it on your PC and email to the app.

Cracking effort

 

That was an easy & enjoyable read.

[Les-TA-Jon]

Absolutely brilliant - great stuff! Thanks!

 

**Nit-pick alert** - it's just a massive wall of text...with the club's permission could you put some matchday pics in there?

[BrummieFOX]

Such an enjoyable read! Thanks a lot for sharing it. Agree that it could do with a few pictures and with some it could quite easily be published into a mini book of the Greatest Escape.

Well done, fez of mahrez and ttfn.

 

I joined the forum just so I can say that's one of the best pieces of LCFC writing that I have ever seen.

Love the Peter Swan quote at the foot of page 14  Great read so far.

[Narborough_fox]

Been reading in bits during my revision breaks. Certainly been making them more enjoyable than they have been recently. 

[HighPeakFox]

Beautifully written :-)

That is a wonderful phrase!!

Look forward to reading this tonight

[Fez of Mahrez]

Cheers all! Amazed that some people have read the whole thing already

It's a very good point about the pictures. If anyone has any that they've taken at the games I've written about that they'd like to contribute then maybe we could use this as a basis and come up with a bit of a collaborative effort to make it look a lot better.
