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.”

As of Friday I’m taking a break. A real break. A break from writing, from promoting, from the computer, from the house. We’re going to visit relatives and then we’re travelling on towards Cromer in Norfolk, which for those of you who may not know is at the top to the right of the pregnant […]
