Kindle Declines as eBook Ease Rises Elsewhere
Or...The Dragon brings you Kindle's degeneration with good news attached

As the technorati among us have discovered, you can read electronic books on a plethora of devices. The Kindle from Amazon has its nifty features; the Kindle II gets the paper (newspaper, that is). But a recent article from Fox News shows you how the simple Blackberry or other pda can pick up those electronic versions of novels and bring you up to speed with your fave characters. (The link is http://tinyurl.com/KindleDeath in case that anchor text didn't work for ya.)

Keep in mind, all the eBooks from ArcheBooks Publishing, including my Choices Meant for Gods and next week's release of Choices Meant for Kings can be read on a Blackberry, a Sony eReader, a computer screen, etc. And no Big Brother at Amazon or one of their affiliated publishers will rescind the content after the $3.99 purchase...

Bonus Note: How much does a Kindle cost these days? Nothing if you win it from AuthorIsland. Fantasy Author Sandy Lender is participating in their Kindle giveaway this month. Good luck to you!

The Companion Book--What Choices We Made--is Released
Or...The Dragon has writing news

In very good news, Fantasy Author Sandy Lender's companion book to the Choices trilogy was released while she was in the hospital. Hooray! What Choices We Made is a chapbook of short stories (and a deleted scene from Choices Meant for Gods) from the fantasy world I created for the Choices series. You can find this Christmas-gift-priced item on Amazon. It's available for grouping for the free shipping feature Amazon offers, so, you know, if you're grabbing a couple books, I think you should add What Choices We Made to the list so you can meet the new, and the familiar, fantasy characters in it. (Also note that Amazon currently has the novel Choices Meant for Gods on sale--although I don't know why. We're just getting lucky this week.)

And if you're stopping by to find some character names for the Kindle contest offered up from Author Island, you've come to the right spot. Just below this post is the trailer for What Choices We Made. I encourage you to click on the trailer and take a gander at what the companion book has to offer...including a couple character names. If you're already familiar with my work, you know that Chariss and Hrazon, from my first novel, Choices Meant for Gods, make an early appearance. You'll have to get the new release to see how Chariss embarasses the life out of the old wizard...

Enjoy!
