As I was taking care of some things today I noticed that Smashwords has a page set up just for authors to manage the prices they charge for their ebooks. One of the things I noticed on that page is a way to adjust the prices libraries have to pay for ebooks distributed by Smashwords. I also noticed that many authors make their ebooks free to libraries, partly to simply help get our ebooks in front of readers via their local public library. As someone who uses a public library every day I love that idea, both as an author and as a reader. more “My ebooks are now FREE to libraries”
The last week has been a busy week for me. Not only have I put Somewhere… and More up for preorders I’ve also gotten my nonfiction political book published.
Once again the US Government was shutdown because our elected officials didn’t do their job, and we could go through it all over again a few months from now. If we pulled a stunt like that on our jobs we’d get our paychecks cut, if we didn’t just get fired. Perhaps we need to cut our elected officials’ checks when they don’t do their job. more “My political nonfiction book is now available”
I have just uploaded Somewhere… and More: The Lyrics of J.M. Hardin to Smashwords as a preorder title. It’s scheduled for release on Tuesday, 5 November but you can read a preview and place an order for it now.
A companion to He’s With the Band, this ebook contains the lyrics to the three songs in He’s With the Band and eight other songs I have written since moving to Boston in 1989. I’m categorizing it as a book of poetry, and it’s being marked with Smashwords as being the second book in the He’s With the Band series. As I’ve said before each song has some comments following the lyrics to let you know what I was thinking as I wrote the song. The songs included are:

As I wrote last month, I changed my Twitter account but what I didn’t say is that I was looking to create a new Facebook account as well. There are a lot of reasons why I wanted to make the change, some are housekeeping related but some are of a personal nature and I’d like to keep them to myself. more “A new month, new social media contacts”
I know yesterday I forgot to post what I’ve been reading in the past week and between trying to work on my next book and a whole bunch of stuff I’ve been working on and dealing with it’s going to be a very short list this week, but I have something else for you guys (and gals) that I hope makes up for it. more “What I’m reading, the week ending 15 September”
As any good writer/geek I love checking the numbers of how many new downloads my book He’s With the Band has gotten every day, and those who have been following me around the interwebs know the numbers are knocking my socks off, possibly agreeing with what the Mythbusters say about that phrase. Over the weekend I saw something that was so amazing I had to create a graphic to celebrate it with.
