It’s going great. A LOT more fun than I thought it would be! And it’s forcing me to write on-the-fly. I offered these topics, now I must make good on them. (What was I thinking??? LOL).
Monday kicked off at Life of a Publisher. Confession, my actual article got lost in cyberspace and never made [...]

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?

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.
