Ebookwise 101

I need to check to see if Dear Author did a post on ebookwise... prolly did

But to keep you busy while I am away shopping, see I am a such a giver. Is there an Ebookwise set up for dummies anywhere? Link me!

You pro ebookwise people, any advice? Samhain has a feature where you can buy in the ebookwise format (and a great sale going on). But I am not sure if that is what I want to do, or if I should do html and convert so I can read on the puter or ebookwise.

But the thought of converting something myself... eek!

and your guess?

Not that I am PBW, nor do I play her on tv. But if I were to play guess the author... I would say

Author A = JR Ward

Author B = Jacquelyn Frank

soooooooooo what would you guess... oh I could do a poll of the suggestions... hee the anon feature is even still on here... come on play you know you wanna

Joy to the World

Le sigh... since I spent most of last week home sick, I still have to get some things for my mom. I WANT to stay home in bed and read. I WANT to finish one of the 20 blog posts I have started.

Not that anyone is around to read them ;).But I shall be good, I shall go finish shopping. And even go over there for a bit. Then come home and blog and read *g*.

Good news is I got a totally unexpected bonus at work. And I think I am staying in my apt for another year. So if everything works out like I want it too... I shall be buying a new computer very soon! Now the question is do I want a desktop or laptop?

Any suggestions? Anything will be better than what I have. And really I only use my computer for the net, ebooks, blogging and more internet *g*. So I am not looking for a 2000 top of the line computer.

I know I want something with a smartcard reader? I think that is what is called. To load my ebookwise (I don't know I am getting for xmas of course) hee. I want a CDR and a USP port in front. And I want the memory to be able to upgrade to at least 1Gig but 2 if possible.

Right now I am looking to send around 300 to 600 hundred. And figure right after xmas is the best time to look. So processorwise... what would be good and in that range? Anyone know?

Okay enough stalling... off to get ready to shop.

Merry, Merry

Happy Holidays to all my friends, online peeps, author buds, frequent chatters, lurker writers, googlers, pRon seekers, and even those of you who are just waiting around for the cannon to fire.

Thanks for the wonderful books, great times, recommendations, snarkage, glomming finds, stupidity, reviews, bad behavior, fun chats, flames, flares and for repeatedly showing how intelligent romance writers and readers can be.

But most of all thanks to those of you that are always there. Many people don't understand the 'internet' and/or the friendships formed over newsgroups, message boards or fandom.

They don't know how amazing the support can be or how grand the friendships are you find with a click of a mouse. Many of you mean more to me than I could ever tell you and I know I don't try to tell you often enough. So thank you for everything.... the laughs when I want to cry, the shoulder when it all gets to be too much, the pat on the back, shared sqqquueees and of course the kick ass book recs.

The gift of friendship is one of the bestest you can ever find wrapped under your tree. It is a gift that keeps giving and will take getting kicked around without breaking. If we could package it and sell it, just think of all the books we could buy ;).

I hope you and yours have a very merry holiday.

loveseses,

• Must Love Mistletoe by Christie Ridgway (have two new copies)

Is it just the cough meds….

Or is this just awful?

The funny thing is I hit on this page after looking into The Crossroads Cafe because the ever wonderful wendy said it rocked.

So after reading the first few pages of the excerpt... going back to wendy's review to see how I screwed up the authors name... googling Deborah Smith... going back to wendy's site to see if she had fessed up to whatever crack she has been smoking... I decided to blog about it cuz horrid writing should be shared.

THEN I noticed if I had just read the amazon reviews (who knew?!?) my answer would have been found in the first posted review from wendy's Deborah Smith:

If you're a confused reader trying to find one of my novels such as the NYT bestselling A Place To Call Home or Sweet Hush, you're probably wondering when I began writing pseudo-sexual "Christian" novels with lurid titles. Well, I didn't. I've been publishing award-winning mainstream novels for nearly twenty years under my name, Deborah Smith, and this new "Deborah Smith" is someone else. Someone whose work I would dearly love to NOT see included when my book lists pop up. Since so far I haven't been able to convince Amazon.com to post ANY distinction between us, I hope my readers will complain to Amazon when they order "Sex Secrets of Pistol-Whipped Ministers" or whatever this stuff is, by mistake.

All I have to say is that sucks. Poor Deborah Smith. Of course she should be happy because according to Amazon:

What do customers ultimately buy after viewing this item?
62% buy The Crossroads Cafe by Deborah Smith $12.03

You can too if you like here or here.

I am still a little up in the air about it. So do tell me if you have read it.

sooooooo anyone know

Dear Mrs. Williams

Hello,

My name is Mrs.Jessica Williams. I am a dying woman who had decided to donate what I have to you. I am 59 years old and was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago, immediately after the death of my husband, who had left me everything he worked for. I have decided to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to you for the good work of charity rather than allow my relatives to use my husband's hard earned funds ungodly. I have asked God to forgive me all my sins and I believe he has because He is a merciful God. I will be going in for an operation, and I pray that I survive the operation.

I have decided to WILL/donate the sum of £3,500,000(three million five hundred thousand pounds) to you for the good work of the charity, and to help the motherless, less privileged and also for the assistance of the widows. At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls, due to the fact that my relatives are around me and I have been restricted by my doctor from taking telephone calls because I deserve all thee rest I can get.

Presently, I have informed my lawyer about my decision in WILLING this fund to you. I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others.

Kindly Contact my lawyer through this email address (markwilliamssoli@aol.co.uk) if you are interested, so that he can arrange the release of the funds (£3,500,000.00) to you. I know I have never met you but this is the decision I have made, and I hope you act sincerely. NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished, as I don't want anything that will jeopardize my last wish, due to the fact that I do not want relatives or family members standing in the way of my last wish.

Love,
Mrs.Jessica Williams

Dear Mrs. Williams,

I would be more than happy to take your ill gotten gains and spend them in my godly ways. Unfortunately I will not be able to email your lawyer at his really professional aol addy. So I tell ya what... why don't you have him set up an account in a large bank in my name. I am sure you have it since you would research who you were giving your money too.

I promise to be very charitable with my new money and to turn it into amazon gift certs to be given to all my friends and fellow bloggers. Hell I will be so nice, I won't even care if they buy books I don't like. God you did well in picking me. So email me with the account number.

Although I do hope you survive the operation because spammer burn in hell. It would really suck to have wasted all that praying and still fucking fry. If you make it till January, Demon Angel by Meljean Brooks will be out and you can read up on your afterlife.

Your friend,
sybil
