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…

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…

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…

It's Christmas Eve 2010.

D-Day for the digital E-Book Revolution. On this day and in particular, tomorrow, Christmas Day, more Kindle, Nooks, E-Readers and more will be

unwrapped and put to use than on any other single previous day. Not only

will there be a rush to purchase E-Books, but more will be sold

tomorrow than ever before.



The good news for authors: there is…

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

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

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
