I've decided to get more active on my blogs chatting about writing, my books and all that odd Canadian stuff. So every Sunday you'll be able to catch six sentences in the popular group Six Sentence Sunday!

Here's my first contribution! Hope you'll surf around to the other great bloggers and keep on having fun finding new books!

Here you go, folks - the first excerpt AND the cover art (by the faboo artist Kanaxa!) for "Wild Cards and Iron Horses", releasing in August from Samhain Publishing!

Well, I’ve decided to give in to my baser instincts and get myself a Nook. The Wookie is, to be precise, for my birthday since I’m supposedly so hard to buy for. *laughs*

The reason is pretty simple - I’m just too tired to keep reading ebooks off of the laptop screen and I must admit, I’m enticed by the idea of being able to use the Nook to read my ( Read more... )

I remembered after posting last time about where to get free ebooks (legally!) that I had forgotten one of the best, BEST sites.

Project Gutenberg.

I know that’s the Wikipedia reference, but it lays out the goals of this faboo site much better than I ever could. I found it amazing how many classic novels were in the public domain and available to ( Read more... )

I've decided today to give you the benefit of my limited, silly ground bits of knowledge on the mystery that is, ebooks.

Yeah, yeah, I know - you've got it all figured out. Probably so, but bear with this old broad as she puts down some thoughts on electronic paper for those who may just not be as fast as you are.

J.A. Konrath has an interesting blog post up about what he sees as the future of ebooks...

I... I just can't agree with his vision of the future. It seems that any writer I come in contact with who has some "great idea" of how to sell more ebooks is basically ALREADY a sucess in the paper publishing industry, so selling ebooks isn't their primary ( Read more... )

Thanks to this article here (courtesy of Smart Bitches, Trashy Books and if you're not reading their website, WHY AREN'T YOU?) I'm considering actually purchasing an ebook reader. Which is quite an accomplishment, since I said before that I wouldn't consider one until they put out color images since I tend to enjoy the covers as much as the actual ( Read more... )

Well, almost free...

Lyrical Press is celebrating their first year of operation with a FABOO giveaway - hit the blog here, leave a comment and possibly win a great ebook!

does it get better than that...

I.

think.

not!

:)

... not that it's even a chance of showing up under my tree, but I'm not interested at ALL in getting myself a Kindle. Yes, I know that thanks to Oprah showing hers off on her show that the hits to the Amazon site have gone up like crazy and everyone's taking advantage of the saving to pay "only" three hundred dollars *cough* for this ebook reader ( Read more... )

 there's an interesting article here from Dear Author about Terry Goodkind moving to put his older books out through another publisher rather than Tor, the print publisher that he's always worked with.

while I'm not a fan of this particular author it does boggle the mind that Tor, who tossed me a truckload of free ebooks and started me on John ( Read more... )
