If you have an eBook reader, you are very nearly out of excuses not to pick up a copy.  All that’s left is Sony, which powers the Borders e-reader, and from what I’m hearing…

Brave new world of e-publishing

A long time ago in a land far, far away Way back in 1999–which (and I hope you’re sitting down) was eleven years ago(!) (!!)– I was asked a question by an online friend, said question being this: do I have a novel I would like her to publish? This is a question many of…
