Suffering. I made some kind of mistake, not knowing (well, if we knew when we were making mistakes, we wouldn’t make them, duh!) and now I am trying to fix it. It’s not an easy thing to fix, either. My day was going pretty well, too. The thing is, I’m the kind of person that [...]

Pam:     Well, Case McKenna. Or is it Casey?
Case:     Just Case. (Shakes dark, shaggy locks away from his face.) But yeah. Casey’s my given name. Just got a bit worn.
Pam:     Case it is. Let’s see. You own a lighthouse?
Case:     (Shakes head, grins) Oh, no. Not me. You’re talking about Point Surrender, right? Nope. Not mine. Thank [...]

I’m blogging all over the place anyway, so why not hand pick a variety of entertaining spots to visit while I’m at it? The entire schedule can be found on the Book Tour calendar on my website…

What I see are missed opportunities for publishers to mine both camps. Maybe part of the problem is that these big, mainstream publishers don’t really know how to market the digital versions of their new releases. Or, they are so focused on the low price of the ebook, they fail to see how any sale is better than no sale.

Australian students using netbooks in the classroom.
Since Governor Swarzeneggar’s recent move to make digital textbooks a reality in California, I have been watching the process unfold and have listened to a dizzying array of public reaction.

This is about electronic books, or “ebooks” as they’ve come to be known. I’ve had books available in this format for ten years now. For ten years, I’ve been waiting for this manner of reading to come into its own. It’s getting closer, just not there yet.

I’m still ruminating on digital textbooks. Not only is the state of Texas moving forward on getting ebooks approved as bonafide textbooks, but California’s Governor Swarzenegger just launched an initiative to get free digital content developed for high school students. I call that progress! And probably not too coincidentally, this week also marked Amazon’s entry [...]
