I thought I'd say welcome to some of my new followers. Thanks for joining me on my blog! I'm still learning the cool tech features, but I've seen some people do some pretty cool welcomes with links and such. Let's see if I can do that for a few of you. Here are links to your blogs that I can easily link to. Sorry if I've missed some of you. I promise it was inadvertent! Check them out and make some new friends.

Ok, on to something more important. Again, I happened across another post today that's really got me thinking about the e-publishing model. Now that I have it from the horse's mouth, so to speak, that the main reason the midlist publisher passed on my middle grade fantasy, alternatively titled Lizzie Peterson and the Places of Naming or Legends of Kyreo: The Places of Naming, because their quota was full, I'm more confident putting it out there.
But first, I'm pitching nationally to see what happens.
In the meantime, you've got to read this post, Tech Talk and the Active EBook, by Joe Konrath. It's very much a fantasy come true in terms of daydreaming, but we're not far away at all from these possibilities. Read it, and let me know what you think.

Hey, thanks for the welcome!
It's definitely an exciting time in the book industry. Scary too. But exciting. Technology is expanding our options and I think the possibilities will only be curbed by what readers want.
It is an exciting time. I think the scary part is mostly industry fed. That, and we feel like a failure if we don't sell a million copies. But we can set out own expectations that match our dreams and still be happy--if we keep an open mind to the reality of a self-published or even a legacy published market.
That's a lot of gibberish-sounding gobbledee goop, huh? ;-)
