From the Axis of IDiocy’s joint press release: State Representatives Betty Brown, Leo Berman, Dwayne Bohac and Debbie Riddle said today that they were pleased with the court’s decision and hoped that it would bolster support for similar legislation which passed the Texas House but failed in the Senate. “We would again like to reaffirm our support for legislation that passed through the Texas House of Representatives that would have strengthened voter confidence and helped gu

It seems that the 21st Century Digital Revolution, as it may someday be called, is getting bigger and bigger with each passing month. As is well known, financial losses faced by the movie industry and the music industry are increasing monthly as bootlegs made possible by digital versions proliferate. New digital models that could not have been predicted a decade ago are supplanting traditional business models so quickly that both of these industries are in very real danger of collapsing altogether. Now, however, another, more unlikely victim may be added to the list: The publishing industry. The New York Times recently ran a story profiling Philip Parker, an entrepreneur who has invented a way for books to be written by a computer algorithm. Or, rather, a way for books to be "compiled".

An unlikely friendship grew between international art dealer Ron Hall and the formerly homeless Denver Moore at the Union Gospel Mission in Ft. Worth, Texas. Now the story they've shared with the world through their book "Same Kind of Different As Me" is multiplying happy endings across the country as it inspires people to rethink their role in the solution to homelessness. Their story has

The 7 Habits Of Highly Successful AuthorsBy: Suzanne HarrisonThe more I read how the successful authors do it, the more I realize that, like successful people in all walks of life, they all do things in common that contribute enormously to their success. So how can we learn from successful authors to ensure our own success in 2008 and beyond?We can start by adopting what I call The 7 Habits of Highly Successful Authors.

Publishers and authors seem to be coming around to the idea that giving away copies of their product might, in the long run, put a lot of money in their pockets. I've heard of four instances in the past few days where a book has been made available for free download on the internet. So, unlike the fossils running the music business, it appears that publishers are fast becoming aware that good

The Outmoded Authors Challenge ended at the end of February but the good news is that it will be running again later this year. I enjoyed it greatly, as it pushed me to authors that I knew of but never picked up; many thanks to Imani for running the challenge. Next time I think I'd like to try some completely new authors and I already have a couple of books from authors I knew nothing about before on the basis of other people's reviews for the challenge.This was the first reading challenge I had ever joined and I was a little too ambitious with the list I picked; as a result I didn't complete them all, but you know what? It doesn't matter. And that's something, coming from ultra-perfectionist me! The challenge was a great success as far as I was concerned because I read some books I wouldn

Dr. Arthur Veno and Edward Winterhalder are in the process of writing a book called “Women Bikers and Bikers’ Women, which will be published worldwide in the spring of 2009. Art and Edward are looking to do a phone interview with females that have been, or currently are, bikers’ women. They prefer to talk to females that have been around the lifestyle of the outlaw motorcycle clubs, but would consider anyone that has been around a serious independent biker. (To be a part of this, read information at the bottom of this blog.)Veno and Winterhalder are the authors of the following books, which are available at all book stores worldwide (or Amazon.com, in case a trip to your local store is out of your way):BOOKS:"The Brotherhoods: Inside the Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs" (Allen & Unwin

I am sorry that I have not been able to get a new book review up. I was hoping to get The Longevity Thesis finished over the weekend but I've come to the realization that I will not be getting any reading done until the middle/end of next week. I want to extend my apologies to anyone waiting on my reviews but please let me explain.Last weekend I went to a live production of the opera Madama Butterfly for my opera course at UC Santa Cruz. I had intended to get The Longevity Thesis done that weekend, but it proved futile as time became a factor on Sunday. This week happens to be the beginning of finals. This means I have four essays to write that are due next week on different dates. I'm planning to get most of them done over the weekend, but I doubt that will happen.However, I am going to catch up on an whole lot of reading over the break, which will extend from next week until the 3rd of January.

Five authors have sued the parent company of Regnery Publishing, a Washington imprint of conservative books, charging that the company deprives its writers of royalties by selling their books at a steep discount to book clubs and other organizations owned by the same parent company. In a suit filed in United States District Court in Washington yesterday, the authors Jerome R. Corsi, Bill Gertz, Lt. Col. Robert (Buzz) Patterson, Joel Mowbray and Richard Miniter state that Eagle Publishing, which owns Regnery, “orchestrates and participates in a fraudulent, deceptively concealed and self-dealing scheme to divert book sales away from retail outlets and to wholly owned subsidiary organizations within the Eagle conglomerate.” More information Share This

by Lynn EmeryAlmost eleven years ago I sold my first novel to a traditional New York publisher. I was so green I hadn't even thought of self-publishing, barely knew anything about it. I joined the local RWA (Romance Writers of America) chapter and started to learn about the publishing industry. I confess that I didn't pay much attention to things like marketing, contracts, etc. I was just trying to get out of the "talking about being a writer" stage and across the "I've started my book" threshold. So most of my attention was on basic how-to information. I started writing my first book. Looking back I laugh at how blissfully ignorant I was then. I didn't think about how few African-American fiction novels were in bookstores or that genre novels with black characters were practically non-existent. Nor did I know what Sandra Kitt, Donna Hill and other black romance writers had gone up against trying to get published. Good thing because I might have given up. I wouldn't h

I love Eric Carle’s books. I read all of them in my classroom and at home on a very regular basis, so I was excited to hear that Kids Preferred was making plush stuffies of many of his best characters. Pictured here you’ll find “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” and “The Very Grouchy Ladybug,” the main characters from two of my personal favourite Eric Carle stories. Also available are Cuddly Brown Bear in mother and baby versions from “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You Hear?” a Butterfly pullstring musical toy from “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”, a Lion hand puppet from “1,2,3, to the Zoo” (incidentally my 18 month old son’s current favourite book which he sleeps with and drags everywhere) and a Panda Bear bean bag plush from “Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See?” I took a caterpillar into my classroom and simply sat him on the bookshelf.

After revisiting some posts/articles about users as authors, synthesizers, and consumers and the hierarchical structure of ‘Web 2.0′ users, I’ve been trying to wrap my mind around some changes that are occurring (rather quickly) in the geospatial landscape. Now before I delve into this post, I will shamelessly qualify my statements by saying that I am not attempting to make any definitive assertions or somehow trying to reinvent a wheel of knowledge that is out there, but rather I am trying to articulate some ideas and get a discussion going…any feedback on this diagram (first cut) or my thoughts would be greatly appreciated. What Was: It seems that the traditional hierarchy associated with various ‘actors’ in the geospatial landscape may not be as relevant anymore? (more…) Share This

By: Jim TherrianAs a newly self published author, I am amazed by how many people have told me that they have a novel or idea for a book that they always wanted to have published. I usually tell these aspiring writers that it can happen and, if they are willing to listen, I tell them my story about how I self published my book. I have always enjoyed writing, mostly for my own enjoyment, but knew I had a talent for creative writing. My first audience was my co-workers at a bank I worked for in Seattle, where everyday, I filled in for the receptionist while she when to lunch. During that hour, I wrote installments to a suspense thriller, set on the Oregon coast, which I shared with the other assistants on the floor who eagerly awaited my new chapters. Years later, I moved to Hawaii and sent regular email updates of my adventures to my friends, which I called Memos from Maui. Living in Hawaii is kind of like living in a foreign country and I had fun sharing my observations of life on a tro

I doubt that many book bloggers have been directly confronted by the authors they have reviewed (although I know of at least one nasty case of that happening), but it does happen regularly to newspaper critics and authors who dare to review their peers.
