March 6 - March 12 is Read an eBook Week. Many publishers and authors either lower their ebook prices or they provide them FREE.

I'm continuing with my challenges...

Challenge 2: Give Indie Authors (like me!) a Shot

While the prices are low and the selection is plentiful give independent (indie) authors a shot. What are indie authors? They are authors that are self-published or they are published with a small publishing company.

Basically, this challenge requires that you don't select your "favorite author" or a bestseller that you know. Find someone new and interesting.

March 6 - March 12 is Read an eBook Week. Many publishers and authors either lower their ebook prices or they provide them FREE.

Read an E-Book Week educates and informs the public about the pleasures and advantages of reading electronically. Authors, publishers, vendors, the media and readers world-wide are welcome to join in the effort. We encourage you to promote electronic reading with any event. These could include: public readings, library displays, reading challenges, school visits, newspaper and blog articles, chat show appearances, internet radio interviews, e-book give-ways, and banners on your website.(View details here.)


I thought I'd challenge my readers and you (because if you're here, you're now a reader...thanks).

Challenge 1: Read in Another Genre

During this week you can find books at a deep discount, less than a dollar, and others are free of charge. The first challenge is to read in another genre. Take advantage of the discounts!

Thus, if you normally read romance, try paranormal romance or suspense. Do you read nonfiction?  Try reading Christian fiction.

Try it. Let me know how it goes.

Coming June 2010
My first reading from Black Diamond is this weekend. I can't help but feel my stomach turn in knots anticipating what readers will think. I'm practicing my pacing and dictation. I'm trying different voices (and I must admit that I suck at trying to sound like Talib). Basically, I'm driving myself cuckcoo cover this reading.

I always knew I would have to do this, I've done it before but reading from this book will be interesting. I take comfort in knowing that this particular scene is not graphic but it usually causes the reader to gasp--I like that...(::laughing::).

Anyway...before I have a revisit from my fluttering friends, it made me wonder. Would you like to hear me read an excerpt from Black Diamond? Let me know. I'm sure you all can't jump on a plane and visit me in Houston. So tell me, would you?

As I wait...and please take your time...(::smile::)...I look forward to sharing the first of my public pieces with you here. I will also reveal a nice gift for your during Read an eBook Week.
