100th Book

Since I've been locked away in my office writing like crazy for the past several years, I have a storeroom chock full of books from my publishers. Normally, I give these away to IT folks who write to me via email or care of my publisher or to IT staffers who will put them to good use. If you'd like a free book, please send an email to william @ williamstanek.com for details.

I have over 200 books to give away. This book giveaway is an early celebration of sorts to mark a special event, my 100th published book (which is being published in 2009).

Thank you for reading,

William Stanek

Best Value

I offer technical training at $2995 for 5-day training and $6995 for 12-day training in areas of my technical expertise. My training seminars, which have been voted the "best value in technical training," are available at discounted rates until Dec 31, 2008.

Thank you,

William Stanek

Book Piracy

Dear Reader,

Illegally downloading a book is theft. When you download a book without paying for it, neither the author nor the publisher receives any payment. By taking a book without paying for it, you are causing publishers to raise book prices, to cancel books by other authors that otherwise would have been published, and putting future editions of my books and books by other authors in jeopardy.

If you've downloaded one or more of my books without paying for it, I am asking you to do one of two things right now: buy the books today at a bookstore or online, or pay me today for what you think the books are worth by clicking the donate button and making a secure payment with your credit card. I will ask no questions of you and I do thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

William R. Stanek

Bugville Critters

I've written 5 to 7 books a year since the early 1990s, so readers often ask me what I do other than work. Though I typically work 7 days a week, I do find ways to have fun. One of those ways is to write fictional stories. Some of my latest creations are the critters featured here. More than twelve Bugville Critters titles are available in print and in audio.

Get the books at Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble.com. Look for premium, extended editions priced at $19.95, deluxe editions priced at $9.95, and treasury collections priced at $29.95.
