An ebook is a book. It’s just a book in what may at present be an unfamiliar format. For the reader, that means getting used to different methods of reading and storing books but the end product amounts to the same thing — a great story to read. For the writer, there are differences between [...]

The ebook market for erotic romance also exists because that’s where the majority of the readership lies. Having decided to persevere in my quest to write for Loose-Id, my first step was to study the market more closely. I needed to pick apart some of the books I was reading, [...]
The simple answer is that is what the publisher I chose produces, but it may entertain you to explain how this came about. I have to confess my ignorance. I stumbled across the ebook market by accident at a fortuitous moment. I’d been writing for awhile and was doing well enough with small press magazines, [...]
Why read an ebook? Okay, I guess I should address why I write for an epublisher but I won’t…not just yet. Today I’ll cover why people choose to read ebooks and what epublishers offer readers. I also want to address what’s holding the ebook publishing market back.
Actually, some of the reasons feed each [...]
Ray Bradbury has recently annoyed thousands of writers and possibly almost as many readers when he said at BookExpo America that: “There is no future for e-books because they are not books. E-books smell like burned fuel.”
You can read about BookExpo and see the evidence of his quote here.
I have to admit that while I [...]
Oh, okay, you don’t have to go read them but I’ve got to squeal a little.
Three great reviews from Literary Nymphs!
The Swithin Chronicles: Uly’s Comet is a complex story that showcases fantasy with a touch of emotional reality. … This is a tantalizing and exhilarating beginning to an inventive series that I enjoyed greatly.
The Swithin [...]
Okay, that’s stretching it but I am very pleased to announce that I’ve signed a contract with Aspen Mountain Press for another story in their Del Fantasma line. It’s a novella called “Virgin Special” and it’s a m/m/f vampire story.
Don’t know when it will be released at present. It’s lined up for edits and due [...]
If you’d like to see somewhere I can say my heart truly lies since I discovered its existence many years ago, then pop along to the Britwriters Blog.
There you can see some great pictures of a place swamped in Arthurian Legend. I don’t know if this place speaks to the storyteller in me, or if [...]

Please support the authors you love by adhering to copyright regulations. The same laws apply for digital books as digital music etc. And no, purchasing an ebook does not give you the right to share it around. Many readers ask why when they can lend or give a print book. The answer is simple. It is ILLEGAL to COPY a digital file. While many authors would not object to a reader making a back-up copy for their own personal use to prevent loss, you cannot 'give' a digital book to another person without first buying another copy (or in other words more than one license). Most people when they file-share or pass on a digital file keep the original and therefore a copy is made. Do so and I don't care what reasons you care to give, you are breaking the law and hurting the writers, many of whom write on top of a full-time job while trying to have a normal life. Many people believe producing digital copies of an item has no cost but this is simply untrue. For one thing it costs the author in 'hours' and hard work. Please show your support by reading, accepting, and abiding by copyright law. Do not give out files or accept them from file-sharing sites and always report a breach of copyright. Thank you.
