…the one that can render PDFs with annotation capability without making the eyes bleed. It seems we’ve been thinking about ereaders all wrong. Along with thinking about ebooks all wrong. Actually, I shouldn’t say “all wrong” since we’ve had a lot of “right” in there, collectively speaking (and any new ventures are built on the [...]

Yes. My posting has drastically and tragically plummeted. Sadly, it’s because I don’t really have much to say–I tend to keep my uninteresting bits offline so that I’m not actively boring people as I go along. My goal is to make the world a more interesting place, not fill it up with boring crap nobody [...]

In the past seven days, we’ve had about eight inches of snow dumped on us. No, we’re not nearly as bad as the eastern seaboard and their “Snowmageddon” (or is it “Snowpocalypse”?), but we’ve had our share.

Okay…I don’t want to alarm youall or anything, but one of these hats in my bag belongs to an author. Shh…I know, I could have fooled you with the way I update this place. Truth is, since I don’t have all that much stuff out, I’m a pretty small potato and you’d be hard-pressed to [...]

There’s a very hot question making the rounds now, and not just in Romancelandia, or even Author Acres, that oddly-gated subdivision where no one’s really sure if the gates are there to keep others out…or to keep the authors in (hey, why are the bars on the insides of the windows? And why are these [...]

Valentine’s Day being what it is, it’s not surprising that Romancelandia rolls out the pink and red carpet for it. This year, having sick kids and a sick Mr. Xandra led me to be around for participation at least part of the day in the festivities. Now…I do try to participate in some things here [...]

So over at Dear Author’s Thread That Ate Cleveland (and walked away still hungry), the thread derailed jumped the track switched trains altogether found out it was actually a Transformer and could fly, too, and sooner or later the subject of ebook piracy came up. I thought I’d compose my thoughts over here instead of [...]
