Point Surrender
Surely you know how exciting this is to us lighthouse people!

But back to NLD. What’s it all about, actually? Well, back in 1988, Senator [...]

Of all the times to be MIA, it had to be now, when my new book is just sprouting wings! Not to be a bore, (or a boar?) I have to insert excuse #3 here: still have a day job. Yep, it’s true; even glamorous, wildly successful authors such as myself do occasionally supplement their [...]

See anything interesting yet? Maybe you’re not up to a whole month of anything, so consider this: it’s Read an ebook week! Yes, those annoying tree-huggers are back, admonishing you for still reading paper books! I’ll admit [...]

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.

Some friends of mine are traveling to Oregon tomorrow, and our discussion about their trip led me to recommend visits to the state’s many beautiful lighthouses. As it turns out, their travels will take them along a good portion of the Oregon coastline, leading them past several of these marvelous beacons. Heceta Head, of course, [...]

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.
