My recommended reading for the week is Adventures of a Postmodern Historian by Robert A. Rosenstone.
I can’t remember how I discovered this book, but I’m very glad I did.
My Book Review of ‘The Wasp Factory’
This week, I’m doing a book review of Iain Banks‘ first novel, THE WASP FACTORY.
It’s a most unusual story, as you’ll hear in my video and read below!
A Kindle Publishing Story of Rags to Riches (And Vice Versa)
I ventured into self-publishing by accident really. I intended to release my out-of-print novel to get the work out there, for what it was worth. This was in 2009. At the time of its release, I discovered Kindle publishing (the only game in town, at that time). When Nook became available, I hopped onto that, too.
The volume of sales my book had at $0.99 turned out to be much higher than I could get when I priced the book higher. So even though I was earning a lower royalty rate, the volume of sales was so much higher, I was actually making more money.
My Book Review of ‘Hinting at Shadows’
Today, I’m reviewing a book review of HINTING AT SHADOWS, a book of flash fiction by Sarah Brentyn.
I have to say this is a first for me—multiple firsts, actually. My first time reading a book of flash fiction and my first time reviewing one.
My Book Review of ‘Invictus’
In this week’s vlog, I’ve done a book review of the young adult science fiction novel Invictus by Ryan Graudin. As Graudin’s web site indicates, it really is like Doctor Who meets Guardians of the Galaxy—except with teenagers. 🙂
