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!
