Vincent Zandri: Sponsored by Budwesier

Lately there's been talk amongst publishers, agents, and authors alike that E-Books might one day be offered to the public for free (ok, I know this is happening now, but I mean ALL E-Books). Instead of the reader paying the author/publisher, sponsors will pay in exchange for product placement inside the text. Since the books are read via electronic reader, readers will be able to link to specific product websites, and even to that author's own books should the opportunity present…

When the Kindle will be No More!

Last night I watched The Book of Eli on Netflix. It was about a man who must walk across the US in a post apocalyptic period in which a great war has ravaged the world, decimating its populations. What's also apparently happened is that books were burned. Lots of them. Especially Bibles and all manners of scripture no matter their religion, since it was religion that sparked the great final conflict in the first place. Go figure.

There is only one more King James Bible left on the…

The Kindle and the (Ladies) Book Club!

I was invited to be the guest author at a local ladies book club this past week. I don't mean "ladies" in a demeaning or male chauvinist sort of way. By "ladies" I just mean that no men are invited to this particular book club. And because no men are invited the ladies like to dress up the way they want, drink what they want (and a lot of it!), and chat loudly about whatever they want, whether it…

Crash Landing in New York!!!

I barely made it out of Europe the weather was so horrid. Torrential

rains in Florence, snowstorms in Germany. Rain and wind in Philly, and

in Albany, ex-wives and now, an ex-girlfriend. Gas is 50 cents more than

when I left a month ago. The indy bookstore at which I'm supposed to

sign first editions of The Remains tomorrow has decided to also book an

ex-local news anchor who self-published a book about doing, well, the

local news. I just went to the store and its… Continue

A Month in Tuscany!

Sounds like the title to a cheesy romance novel

doesn't it. You know, writer comes to Italy to be alone and work on a

new novel, and meets up with some ravishing Italian woman who is years

younger, unbelievably drop-dead gorgeous, and can't speak a lick of

English other than something like, "You rock!." So even if she's angry

with you, she screams, "You rock, VEEENcent! You very very rock!"

Something like that.

Ok, I'm not going to comment on whether… Continue

My Agent is Retiring and So What???!!

Holy Crap, have things changed in the span of one year or what?

Ok, I'm sitting here on my bed in my apartment in Italy that I rent once a

year, same as I've been doing every year for the past three Falls. Like

most of Italy, the ancient buildings are the same, the good natured

people are the same, the priceless works of art are the same, the old

recipes are still melt in you mouth, the Tuscan hills still damp from

almost daily rains, the olive groves lush with… Continue

Fun with Kindle

I've only had the thing a month, and already I'm irritated if I want a book and it has not been "Kindlized". I just found my friends Laura Alden and Hannah Reed on Kindle (MURDER AT THE PTA and BUZZ OFFF, respectively), which is cool.

Living in a very small town, I used to have to make a list and then when I got to a town big enough to have a bookstore, look for books I wanted to read. Often, authors I meet at conferences are with small publishers, so the bookstores would have to order the… Continue

Was the Experiment a Success?

I recently conducted a little experiment in book marketing, placing an ad on FaceBook promoting the release of my three mystery/medical thriller novels as eBooks. The materials utilized for the experiment were no more than my laptop, a little electricity, a high speed cable Internet connection, and a credit card --- as well as some spare time that I did not have. (Perhaps I should have spent the minutes moving past page 100 of my work–in–progress, a fourth novel…

Browsing

Your computer says it does, but it just isn't the same. I love my Kindle, but I sometimes want to go to a bookstore and just wander through the aisles, especially the mystery section. I look at the covers, read the back, the inside front, and often the author info. I don't know if the photo influences me to buy the book, but it's fun to know what the writer looks like. I put some back, take some home. Anticipation.

Amazon tries to give me the same experience, but it is not the same. Amazon… Continue
