Is this thing on? *blows on microphone*

 

Looks like it is! Hi again everyone. I have news and such! MIND GAMES will soon be available as a printed book as well as in ebook format. I'm very excited about this, even though I'm getting more and more into ebooks myself.

 

I read Cory Doctorow's DOWN AND OUT IN THE MAGIC KINGDOM while I was on vacation in Disneyworld last month. It was really cool. I have an iPhone, so while I was standing in line waiting for a ride, I hopped on the manybooks.net site, and downloaded the book while I was standing there! And then I was able to read it while waiting in line, and also in the airport, on the plane, etc... all in my handheld which I was carrying anyway. No worrying about the book getting wet on the Kali River Rapids Ride (I ended up skipping that one, actually, anyway... only one pair of shoes...), not fitting in my pocket, leaving it somewhere by accident, plus saving trees!

 

So I'm a convert to ebooks. I'm so busy writing normally that the time I get to read is when I'm on vacation or in transit from place to place and the iPhone is so much handier than an actual book when it comes down to that.

 

I was worried that my eyes would get tired, but given that I spend all day every day in front of a computer already, it doesn't seem to have affected me negatively at all. I read for 2 straight hours on the iPhone during a layover at Dulles airport -- while sitting in the bright sun in a window, I might add -- and didn't have any problems.

 

Other news: my next novel for Ravenous will be out in about a month? It's called THE STREAK and has a baseball theme. Actually, they say we might change the title because they don't think The Streak is sexy enough... I'll have to see what the PtB say on that. Meanwhile, we've agreed on a new four-book erotic fantasy series... but I'll say more about that in a future post!

Yep. I used the eReader software, which is free to download and gives a book-like page, and lets you specific the style of font and size you read on. I found the default setting (which has dark brown letters on a beige background) to be perfect.

eReader is available for Macs, PCs, Blackberries, all Palm OS devices, and a bunch of other ones. My partner corwin also downloaded the same book, same vacation, but he used the Stanza reader for iPhone instead. (I haven't tried Stanza yet.)

I can't wait to read The Streak! Baseball and sex, what's better than that? I'm a huge St. Louis Cardinal fan... It's almost baseball season.

Yay Cardinals! They are one of my favorite national league teams. My heart belongs to the New York Yankees, who I grew up in the city watching, but that means I get to like lots of national league teams.

One of the things in The Streak is that I didn't want to make it a specific team that fans of that team (or haters of that team) would get distracted by certain things in the plot, so... you know how a lot of romance is wish fulfillment? Well I live in Boston but even though I liked the Red Sox for a while after moving here, lately I've gotten kind of bored and tired of them (if the Yankees are my childhood sweetheart, the Red Sox are my annoying roommate...). So for The Streak I created an imaginary national league expansion team that moved to Boston!
