I’ve been published!!!
Like, by somebody else. (Inorite?)
So Freya's Bower (one of the veteran epublishers in the landscape) has this annual anthology called Dreams and Desires, where the proceeds from it go to a charity. This year's charity is A Window Between Worlds, a Read more [...]
This is handselling now.
This morning I butted into a Twitter conversation between @jackiebarbosa, @elyssapapa, and @growlycub about Romance heros/heroines who are struggling financially at the end of the book, but they shall live on love:
Which led back around to the title Read more [...]

But does it have wings?
Not only is it not a unicorn, it's not even a Pegasus.

An ebook is not a book.
Can we find a word other than "book" as a descriptive for the digital version of glue-and-paper? The word "book" is way too loaded for those who profess a love of "that new book smell" and their reactionary hatred of digital delivery.
Print books and Read more [...]
Asus re-redux
I haven't read any more on the Asus since my last post about it. However, it recently paid for itself when I had a computer emergency. For three days that little thing was an absolute workhorse. It was a little slow and klunky, but it did the job and Read more [...]
More on the Asus
I haven't used my eBookWise in a while. I've been reading *gasp* paper and on my Asus EeePC in my recliner. So last night I went back to my eBookWise.
It's cold here (well, for early October, it is). It was toasty warm in my bed. I ducked under the covers Read more [...]
The handy-dandy all-purpose digital reader
Some time back ago, I said I wanted an Asus EeePC to read digital books because it was kind of an all-purpose device. As time went on, I decided maybe I'd rather have an iPhone or a BlackBerry, but then I found out about their mandatory data plans and Read more [...]
LDS publishers, again, eBooks. Please!
I went over to Cedar Fort's blog to look at stuff. Right off the bat, there are two books I wanted to read (okay, so maybe Shannon Hale didn't traumatize me as much as I thought).
Altared Plans by Rebecca Cornish Talley
and
Deadly Treasure by Jillayne Read more [...]
I’m cheeky
In case nobody's noticed, my Perfect Bookstore post has garnered a wee bit of attention here and there around the interwebz, thanks to @RonHogan who linked me in GalleyCat and then Teleread picked me up.
I've been to very few of the pingbacks, but Read more [...]
August reading list
Saturday night was the "Oscars" for romance, which is called RITA (no idea what that stands for, if anything). I saw something interesting in the results that made me form a hypothesis, and I want to test my hypothesis, so I'll be reading the following Read more [...]
The Bewbies(TM) appear in the Apple store.
Finally!
After six months, unceasing wailing, and a solid refusal to censor myself, The Proviso was finally approved for sale as an application in the Apple iTunes store.
Go get it!
(Now I don't feel hypocritical by naming iPhone names in Stay, because, Read more [...]
PSA for LDS publishers
Y'all probably don't read my blog. I curse muchly and there is "sex" in my banner, not to mention a bare nekkid lady.
Before you read any further (if you are still reading or the least bit interested), please go to these websites and study them. Ignore Read more [...]
A cautionary tale for authors and agents
You know, I shove a tanto in my gut and bleed all over the interwebz about my issues with embedded font evangelism in the name of book designer job security, then I get over it and I think I'm done.
Well, Penguin Books has reminded me this morning that Read more [...]
Eating a little bit of crow…
Yesterday, I got a little mouthy (see this post), which will surprise no one.
I was sent an EPUB file that had embedded fonts that rendered perfectly in ADE. I cracked the file open and what did I see? Perfection. The file wasn't bloated, it was neatly Read more [...]
