Well, perhaps the man she turned into a cat a thousand years ago. He’s pretty upset, particularly since some do-gooders neutered him at the shelter! Enter a damsel in search of love, in definite need of saving, and in the market for a cat. And when the cat he is, meets the woman he wants, the man he was rises to the occasion…in more ways than one. Throw in a few boy-crazy girlfriends armed with a novelty-store book on witchcraft, and let the hilarity begin… But all’s well that ends […]

The great debate continues regarding eBooks vs Print and it seems that for every battle lost, there is another one won. Case in point, yesterday an author published with a large, well-known NY publisher said “I wish I could participate in your eBook promotions however, I’m not an eBook author.” Ummm, wrong. Sorry. Take a closer look and you will see that although you are with a NY print house, and a powerhouse at that, your books are indeed available in eBook format. How this fact escaped this author’s notice, I’m not quite sure. I attribute it to the fact that sometimes authors lucky enough (and make no mistake, luck plays a large part, in addition to talent and skill) to be contracted with a large NY print house can continue to toil away at the keyboard in the writer’s cave, blissfully remaining in ‘creative artist’ mode while their agent, editors and the marketing team at their publisher takes care of the dirty details. These authors are not down and dirty in the trenches fighting for every sale like eBooks authors, such as yours truly, are. I know what formats every one of my eBooks are available in, where they […]

In a big win for the eBook industry, brick and mortar giant Barnes and Noble has purchased the eBook retailer Fictionwise. My thoughts, this is BN’s attempt to adapt and overcome or risk death and defeat from online giant Amazon.com who embraced the eBook market with it’s Kindle. Whatever the reason, it validates that the day of the eBook is coming, (like it or not you diehard print book readers). The announcement of the BN/Fictionwise purchase comes just in time for Read an eBook Week (March 8-14th). To celebrate Read an eBook Week, the Samhain Cafe is hosting a special reader appreciation week with hourly eBook giveaways and a grand prize contest for an eReader. Stop by the Samhain Cafe yahoo group all week and talk to the authors, read excerpts and hopefully win some stuff!On a personal note, I finally gave in and bought myself the iPod Touch and I LOVE it. I installed the free Stanza eBook reader on it, I loaded it with songs, pictures and eBooks and I keep it in my purse. When I am waiting and have a moment, I can whip it out and read. I never ever thought I would enjoy reading […]
