EPIC needs judges!

EPIC needs some judges. I've been doing this for years. It's not difficult and it is a great way to discover new authors.

FOR JUDGES:
Call out from EPIC, the Electronic Publishing Industry Coalition™:

Promoting eBooks

While visiting another blog, I read where an author was frustrated because they didn't know how to promote their eBook. Nothing to sign etc. So I'm throwing it out to all of you. If you have your book out as an eBook, how have you promoted it?

Or, what is your opinion on eBooks?

Have you read one? How? Do you have an e-reader? Which one? Would you read an eBook?

On another list I saw where eBooks are having an anniversary. They been around now for 40 years. So I think maybe they are here to stay.

I read my first eBook at least twelve years ago on a Rocket reader. I loved that old reader. It had a backlight so when the lights went out I could still read. Now I have A Sony, and have been thinking about moving up to one that can does color.

Anyone here tried the Literati? I've seen one at Kohles.

Friday I am speaking to some sixth graders about being an author. I'm sure the subject of eBooks will come up.

Blog Jog Day is tomorrow.

Come out and jog with us. You just might find a blog you want to follow. And discover some ways to make your's stand out.


You can start with mine and follow the link to the next blog.

Bring on the judges!

If you'd like to read some great books and take part in EPIC's eBook awards here is your chance.

I've been a judge for years. It's simple to do.

Meltdown

Randolph and I have started the sequel to Ice, Meltdown. It's exciting to begin a new adventure with Darcie and Morgan. To this one we've added Gail Crane and Duke, the man with no memory.

Gail is Darcie's FBI friend, we mentioned in Ice.

Oh, I should say that Chalet is looking at Ice. Cross your fingers for us please.

I've been thinking about branding and marketing. What works or hasn't worked for you?

Turned hot here that past couple of days, but this morning's starting out on the cool side.

This Thursday I do my Blog Talk Radio show. I Believe it's going to be a great show. It's at an earlier time, 9:00 AM Pacific Time since one of my guests joins us from Israel. Eva has written some outstanding
books on women from the Bible.

My other guest is Johnny Tan who has written a book all about a mother's love.

Drop by and listen if you can. If not the show is always archived.

I belong to EPIC, Electronically Published Internet Connection. They have an eBook contest each year. I'm excited to be entering A Spiral of Echoes. It's been awhile since I've had a book out to enter.

I Believe that all I have to say for now.
