Happy May Day to those of you who celebrate it.

We don’t observe May Day in Canada but I still love May 1^st. It has always meant Spring to me and the beginning of great things to come. Maybe it’s because I can finally see the end of another long winter. This year it also helps highlight just how much I have going on. I guess I’d better get moving on all those projects.

Since I wanted to mark the beginning of May in style, I am delighted to have both Jenny Hudock and CA Marshall on the show.

Both are great ladies and people I highly recommend you get to know if you can.

Jenny and I talk about her first venture into self publishing with her book Goblin Market and Cassandra talks about formatting. I learned a lot from both and I know you will too.

So with that, Happy May 1^st and on with the show. Enjoy.

I’ve finally taken the plunge and it has only taken my first two stories being published in e-format to do it. I now have an e-reader.

It’s a step I’ve wanted to take for a while; I really wanted an iPad, but finances simply don’t allow it. However, I can’t complain about the e-reader I’ve got (we’ll see how I feel after I’ve had it a few months).

There have been several hints that I should get an e-reader. Over the past couple years I’ve received a number of books to review/critique in e-format. The problem with this is most of my reading is done away from my computer. So how do I read them? My iPod touch will act as an e-reader but it is much too small for continued use.

Now I have a device that will do the work for me and it has already changed the way I’m approaching my book purchases.

Like many of you, I only have so much room for books. In fact, I’ve got books in boxes, behind DVDs, on shelves under the stairs and a few other places. The key to all the various storage places is I only have easy access to a few of them. The rest are in places I can’t get to easily.

With that in mind I’m now looking at buying my books in e-format. That way, I can keep them all in one place. If I want a book for signing purposes, I’ll buy a paper copy then. Since I tend to read my books many times, having them in one place will be much handier.

And, I don’t need to buy a bigger house to store all my books in either.

Personal Update

Not much going on right now. I’m on holidays for the next couple weeks and promised the family I would give them more attention than my writing. It hasn’t stopped me from thinking about it though

Also, the print edition of my story “Stolen Immortality” is now available from Wolfsinger Publications. The magazine is “Mystic Signals” and can be found either on Createspace or Amazon. As I mentioned before, if you are reading the e-version, you can leave a tip or vote for my story. Both will help me and the magazine out a great deal.
