… not as pretty as “autumn leaves”, but still interesting, I hope. Seems like a lot of buzz around ‘the death of books as we know them.’ Somehow, I think they’ll still be around for a while…
And once again, my apologies if you comment and I don’t reply. I am, again, traveling during this posting time. Maybe some month I’ll actually be in town at the end of the month (but looking at my calendar, I have my doubts).
Enjoy!
* I am not surprised that agents are ‘weeding out’ books. It happened to me when I was told my heroines were ‘too old’.

* This is a good link to keep handy: an ebook buying guide (frequently updated).
* What goes into an ebook? Not sure I agree with all of this, but it’s a good overview.
* I don’t read ‘literary books’ so I found this interesting. I may pick one up now that I realize some are, well, readable.
* I thought the comment about “Steve worship” was in poor taste, until I realized the alternative mentioned. Can’t wait to see this new tablet.
* A chance to do some Q&A with an editor. Interesting answers, methinks.
* Book are geared toward girls, so boys don’t read. Hmm. Not sure I buy this.
* The debate regarding agents becoming publishers continues. I like this article. It makes a lot of good points.
* I confess: I would probably not notice historical issues in a book, nor care about them.
