A Good Read

When you have your head buried in making ebooks and the like, sometimes you forget you have a house that needs to be cleaned. Well now I have a new device that does the majority of my cleaning. It's a Homeright Steam Machine. Just bought it and I'm already in love. It's going to give me more time to write and less time cleaning:

Congratulating Ron Cowart big time. He's been through my course and has been producing ebooks since. Here's his latest:

The author, a thirty-three year law enforcement veteran has handled more calls than he cares to remember. Having served in Uniform Patrol, Rescue, Narcotics and Homicide/Robbery along with being the commander of several divisions, the author has a unique insight to how one may protect themselves ...

New motto - "Watch what you say too soon" - Apple released another iBookstore Asset Guide5.1 and it now has new information for "Children's Fixed layout ePubs." Well at least it came out before I published my new ebook so it's going to be delayed about 2 weeks:

If you're not including Apple iBookstore in your ebook plans then you're losing out on a huge share of the ebook market. Publishing your book in iBooks Author doesn't mean you can't publish your ePub on the Nook. One is an .iba file and the other is an .epub file. So long as you have both, you're good to go.

One of the first authors who went through my Kindle Course was Ron Cowart and I loved this book http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004W3FVIM

Hilarious One-Liners is just as the title implies...one-liners intended to 'break-the-ice' and lighten the mood.
