Read Kindle Books without a Kindle!

Did you know that you can download a Kindle Reader for your PC (or for your iPhone, Android or iPad) for free? With such a device, you are able to buy Kindle books and download them to your home computer or laptop or several other devices. The format for reading them is similar to a Kindle, with easy to read fonts, pages that turn, bookmarking and note taking options and even the ability to archive the books on the Amazon site when not reading them so you don’t use too much of your disc space. Books such as, The Prisoner’s Dilemma and Where Have All the Young Men Gone? are available for only a dollar each. Casey Dorman's newest novel, Unquity, is available for only $6.99. In addition any other Kindle books may be downloaded for the regular Kindle price (which is usually less than if they were bought as hard or soft cover books). Furthermore, literally hundreds of classic books are available for free because they have been converted to digital format by such organizations as The Guttenberg Project.

This is your opportunity to have access to a variety of books for very little money. Go for it!

Inside This Issue

Vietnam Coastlline 2011

Welcome to the Winter, 2012 issue of Lost Coast Review. This issue features short stories by award winning author, Warren Bull as well as by John A. Bray. Also featured are poetry by Shane Bither, Ray McClintock and Micah Franklin. Book Review editor Noel Mawer reviews two books that consider time and Poetry Editor Randall Mawer reviews a book by Simenon. Film reviewer Lawrence Howard reviews Shame. This issue of Lost Coast Review boasts a diverse group of writers and poets, whose contributions are both entertaining and thoughtful.

As always, the purpose of the Review is to create a forum for ideas and artistic works. Short stories, photographs and art are featured each month in the Review and archived by the month they were introduced, for future access.

Lost Coast Review reviews books, both those chosen by the editor and selected books submitted for review to the site. To submit a book, use the Contact Us navigation button to let the editor know about the book and you will be contacted to submit a copy.

Lost Coast Review publishes selected short stories in the section labeled Short Stories. These stories will appear for a suitable period of time and then will be archived by the month they first appeared and available to readers to access them. To submit a story, use the Contact Us button and paste your story into the email message window.

Lost Coast Review encourages submission of original poetry. Selected poetry will be featured either as part of a special poetry section or interspersed throughout the review, as the content and style of the work dictates.

Photographs and visual art may be submitted to Lost Coast Review. Color art and photography may be submitted for the online version of Lost Coast Review. For the paperback version of the Review, only cover art may be color. All other art and photography must be black and white. Such artistic works, if accepted will be displayed with appropriate credits, as the editors of the Review see fit. An effort will be made to match visual and literary art in a complementary fashion. To submit visual art, email the editors using the Contact Us page with a description of your art and we will reply with an email, which will allow you to submit the art as an attachment.

All items submitted, including book and film reviews, short stories, poetry, art or photographs will remain the property of their author, except for publication rights in Lost Coast Review. Items may be withdrawn at any time prior to publication.

A Commentary section includes the opinions of the editor on topics of current concern.

Reviews, stories, pictures and journal entries from previous issues can be found in the Archives section for each topic page.

The paperback format of Lost Coast Review is now published by Avignon Press. Other offerings of Avignon Press are now listed on a page of Lost Coast Review and available at discounted prices for Lost Coast Review readers.
