Then we'll go over there free and hope Amazon matches the free price. We're testing all these things over three months. Also learning how to format the books for all the various gadgets. It's a very interesting (and empowering) project. A lot of work, but so worth it! Thanks for your interest. I have a Nook, too. I just bought the Kindle Fire for Amazon testing and can't get my wi-fi to work. Very frustrating. But, I digress. ;)Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14471919576687777886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-25033061347602863752012-06-17T08:15:59.983-06:002012-06-17T08:15:59.983-06:00I sure hope you're not restricting your distri...I sure hope you're not restricting your distribution to Amazon. I have a Nook, and it's just as easy to publish there (or on Smashwords, which uploads just about every format known to e-readers) as it is on Amazon. And please don't tell me I can get the Kindle app. I have it, but I've yet to finish reading the one and only book I downloaded. I read for pleasure on my Nook, not on my computer or phone, and I'd really like to read this collection.Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-29073336906615068382012-06-16T13:34:06.593-06:002012-06-16T13:34:06.593-06:00Monti, you had one of the most interesting blog po...Monti, you had one of the most interesting blog posts about the background for your story.

Is it just me, or is technology not as simple as claimed? Anyway, one stop was an art gallery opening which included the cover art for a MG novel I've written. So there that's project to finish up. Also on my list is A Quick Blog Book Tour Guide which I've promised far too many folks. By fall, I'm open to planning another group project for publication after the holidays.

For Better or Worse? On the Edge? Man's Best Friend? We'll get ideas from the team after the blog book tour is over. You'll get plenty of time, Maryann. We did the whole shebang in four months this go-round, but I'd like more moodling and writing time, so we can polish some great and new stories. This was a test run.

It was great fun to come up with stories that included the Corner Cafe in some way, and I was amazed at the variety. We were all writing our own without knowing much about how the other authors were incorporating The Corner Cafe. What a delightful surprise it was for me to read the whole book. <br /><br />Dani, you will tell us the theme of the next project soon? You know me.
