eBook Question

Posted on February 20, 2012 by Linda

When you see on Kindle, Nook, etc. that an ebook is available, how interested are you in a print on demand version instead? I’m trying to figure if it is worth the hassle to create one for my existing and upcoming novels. I appreciate your input on this.

An update on projects:

Bear in Mind is currently in the hands of an agent. She has sent it to another publisher after the first two rejected it. After four rejects I intend to put it online. It is a mystery, using many of the characters from Fun House Chronicles. The subject is serious, but the characters have a lot of humor.

I’m currently writing the next in the series, Hard to Bear. It should be ready not long after Bear in Mind goes online. I have written the synopses for four more in the series.

An electronic publisher www.imajinnbooks.com offered to publish my novella Spirit Cat & the Goddess of Lust. But I think I’ll go it alone with this paranormal. As soon as I write the second in the series I’ll put them both up as Shorts on Kindle. They’ll just be 99 cents or free when Kindle will allow.

I’ll tell you more when I get closer to publishing. Thanks for hanging in there with me.

Weight loss surgery has some interesting side effects.

- After four weeks of nothing but liquids you are famished, but your touchy stomach won’t allow you to eat without dire consequences.
- This “dire” means hurling for most people. For me it seems to mean acting silly around security guards. Let me explain.

We are in Oahu visiting friends after a side trip to the big island and Maui. I had trouble with a hotel key while there, and they sent up a security guard. He was big and brown, and I was instantly gob smacked. I could hardly speak, but I did have the sense to have difficulty with my key two or three times a day for the next week.

I then had a dream about a guy I worked for a while back at the grill company that rhymes with Gargoyle. In the dream, he was much bigger and browner. I was much younger. And let me tell you, our relationship became a damn sight more athletic than it ever was in the conference room. Phew.

Now, I am blaming the surgery. But, come to think of it, those of you who know me well may remember the last time I lost my equilibrium also involved a brown islander.

I’m thinking maybe I’d better blame it on Hawaii.
