I can’t believe that Read an E-book week is half way over. This week is just flying by. Before you know it, the weekend will be over and it will be time to face one more Monday morning. The site sponsoring e-book week has a nice article posted by David Lieberman about the Future of E-Books so you might want … Read More
E-Book Week
March 8th signals the start of e-book week. Why is this so important? Well, as technology advances more and more devices are popping up to enable us to read a variety of material outside of the traditional confines of a printed book.

Interesting happening today (well to me anyway). Last night I wrote and posted an article on Author’s Den about the Lulu Book Review site. The intent of the article was to make the author’s at Author’s Den aware of the site. When you are a POD (print on demand) author, it is sometimes difficult to get a review for your work. I was very pleased to find this site, especially since it looks so well put together and already a lot of information is appearing on it for such a new site.
