Especially when it leads me to articles like this one: 5 Reasons Why E-Books Aren’t There Yet. Aside from the not exactly trivial question of what exactly “there” means, I’ve got to say most of the arguments were pretty specious. But I agree with his overall thesis: ebooks aren’t “there” yet. Not quite. Why? The Read More…

Dancing in the Shadows of Madness
It’s something of a truism that writers are eccentric at best, and for most of the writers I know this is a rather mild description.
