[Writing Post] Squirrel Brain, Epub, and Me
Welcome to Texas, we’re in frantic preparations for the possible “Icemeggedon” that could occur on Friday. The Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas isn’t quite as bad as Birmingham was when I lived there. Here there’s just a run on water, milk, bread, firewood – you know the essentials. In Birmingham, that threat induced grocery frenzy […]
[Writing Post] More on Amazon and Merry Christmas
Ah, yes, Wednesday. The day in which I try to come up with something pithy (or at the VERY, Very least coherent) about writing, the publishing industry, or some other aspect of this business. And… yeah. Coherent is about as good as I’m going to get today. It’s been a busy week. Amazon is still […]
[Writing Post] Getting Paid What We’re Worth
Let me preface this by saying THIS IS AN EDITORIAL. This is my OPINION, and questions I’m asking myself. I was going to do a “real life” kind of post – and it might go there. But I also want to talk about e-books some more. Because I saw something on a mailing list last […]

That doesn’t necessarily mean technology has the obligation to embrace us back. I did a post similar to this on my blog in the last week or so when something […]
[Writer Post] E-Books and Word Counts
I had an interesting Google Talk conversation with my friend, Meredith, before ApolloCon last week. She sent me a link to this article on word counts. It poses the question, “…will word count be rendered less relevant (or even irrelevant) once the cost of paper gets tossed aside by the new technology?” Though the article […]
[Writing Post] E-Books, Weighing the Possibilities
E-books and e-publishing are here. There’s no denying it. No one knows for sure what the impact is going to be in the future – but there will be an impact. Responsible writers (and I try to be one) should – if not embrace e-publishing – acknowledge it and use it to their advantage. Book […]
New Zip File for “The Pen Is Mightier”
I’ve been told there are some issues with “The Pen is Mightier”. So I put a new zip file on the downloads page. Or try it here… The Pen is Mightier – Rhonda Eudaly It’s a murder mystery first found on the web. It was (and still is) my first attempt at epub.
