Barry cracks Canada! I’m honoured that excellent blogger Jane Fritz chose my debut novel as her e-book initiation.
I have to admit that I have been a reluctant convert to eBooks. It’s partly because I’m a cheap skate and partly because I love my books. Prior to a long trip two years ago, I decided it was time for me to switch to eBooks and join the new world, at least for our trip. I downloaded Kobo onto our iPad on the recommendation of a friend who said there were all kinds of free books available for it and she loved how Kobo turned her iPad into an eReader. I downloaded a few of the free books, but they were the most classic of the classics, all of which I’d either read or previously dismissed.

LOL! NOOOOO – that would be a nightmare!
On a side note – I had a (less than flattering) response to my Tax Office post from someone called ‘anon’. I did an IP search and found they work for the Tax Office. Deary me, I think it’s worth a new post 😉

Yay, Roy! That is super awesome…you globe-trotting author, you!

Can’t wait to read one of your works. Woohoo for e-books!

Thanks Britt! I’m afraid ‘The Everything Theory’ is a hard act for me to follow.
