Discover Centos on Book Hippo

I'm a big fan of Book Hippo :-) As a reader the daily newsletter of Kindle bargains helps keep my TBR list longer than I'll ever manage to read! The daily drabble is always a good read as well. As a writer it's also an excellent place to help promote books and deals to a UK audience. I also like to submit the odd drabble - regular readers will know that I'm a huge fan of drabbles.

Book Hippo has added a new feature - the Auto Cento. A cento is a poem or story comprised of extracts from other works. The Auto Cento automatically creates a cento from a database of indie works (including some of mine) and also from some classics.

Here's a fun example of an Auto Cento:

Demon

By Cento, using the words of Michael Brookes, Rosen Trevithick, Jane Austen, David Wailing, Rosen Trevithick and 300 Children

He painted pictures of his childhood, the long years as a demon spawn. ⁽¹⁾

Salmon laid their spawn in the upper streams to give them the best possible chance in life. ⁽²⁾

Mind you, I'm happy with my life, and I still want to meet them. ⁽³⁾

"Now I am quite happy," said she, "for you will be as happy as myself. ⁽⁴⁾

I didn't come here to say happy birthday to Bob. ⁽⁵⁾

Simon looked at Bob with admiration. ⁽⁶⁾

His admiration was certainly very warm; yet she thought, but for Mrs. ⁽⁷⁾

Here it comes, the young demon thought. ⁽¹⁾
