Amazon Sells 2 Million Singles Pays Big to Authors | Geekosystem

Amazon Sells 2 Million Singles Pays Big to Authors | Geekosystem

In January 2011, Amazon launched its “singles” initiative. The stated goal was to present “compelling ideas expressed at their natural length,” with shorter-form works at lower prices. In the past 14 months since the singles were announced, Amazon has managed to move over two million of these little books, netting some authors hefty profits. But is that all the world’s largest bookseller is up to?

"My Asperger’s son is my hero"

Express.co.uk - Home of the Daily and Sunday Express | Express Yourself :: My Asperger’s son is my hero

Rumor has it that the syndrome is mostly passed down through sons so the males in  the family are more likely to  have it. However, my father has it and since he had no sons I got it as well. In the end, its like breathing no matter what you do you have to pass it on.

Lily the belle of the books!

When I was little is when the Disney movie Beauty and the Beast came out. It was a big part of my family's life. It's also why I kind of feel sorry for the kids during this age cause they never got to grow up with the wonderful movies I did.
When my sister and I were little we of course would pretend to be Disney princesses. Since there was no shortage of blonde princesses in Disney my sister could choose whomever she wanted. As for me, I always felt torn. I loved the little mermaid because in my opinion she was the first redheaded heroine besides anne of green gables that is. Anyway, I did feel a certain loyalty to her as a fellow redhead. However, when Beauty and the Beast came out everything changed. Why? Because the heroine had a quality I found irresistible. She loved books! And she was considered odd by other people. I felt that way all the time and books to me were more precious than gold.
I guess you could say that was my first love triangle. I loved Ariel but that was before Belle came along.
The fact that my mother spoke French fluently also helped to steer my love towards Belle. In addition to my father's favorite Disney song being 'be our guest'.
Now you must be wondering why I am telling you all this? Well..most of you now know that my editor has had his first child. A lovely little girl named Lillian. I have already started calling her Lily. I like nicknames so sue me! Anyway my philosophy is this...every child should be exposed to Disney culture. It is truly the best. Such things would include the Lion King, Snow White and so on so forth.
However, being Harry's partner I decided to take a preemptive move. Since I am the author of the tales of Aradia series I felt that I should buy something for the little angel. So I decided to go to the Disney Store.
Every child has a stuffed animal when they are little. So upon seeing the little plush Belle dolls I made my decision.

Melbourne indie ebookstore shows the future of eReading

"Its cloud-based eReading approach has several advantages over today’s ebooks which work primarily with downloaded files. First, the only thing you need to read these ebooks is a web browser. This covers every device from PCs to smartphones to tablets, even the Kindle which has an in-built browser.  The Booki.sh reading experience is surprisingly good (try it on an iPad or smartphone). Secondly, because you can’t download these ebooks, you won’t need DRM. That should be a benefit for a lot of consumers and publishers."

Why Self-Published Authors Need Editors - GalleyCat

Why Self-Published Authors Need Editors - GalleyCat

This is something I agree with wholeheartedly. My mentor (my uncle Steven Pressfield) says I should be my own editor but I got the feeling that just wasnt for me. Luckily, Harrison came along and it has been great ever since. He and share so many opinions on things. The best part is he is also an indie author so he understands how hard it is. I think being writer is supposed to be a solitary kind of thing but having a partner makes it so much easier. Editors can be more then just your critics they can be your partners.
