It\u2019s Super Bowl Sunday. I\u2019m not a football fan, but I\u2019ve enjoyed some fun gatherings (and food) around the event over the years. <\/p>\n
These parties remind me of some of my book launch celebrations. Once my three daughters threw me a party on the large patio of a local outdoor bookstore and invited around 100 people. That was super fun. <\/p>\n
These days, however, releasing a new book simply means shifting into higher gear with promotion. The only semblance of festivity is a high five or a few \u201catta-girls\u201d as the neighbors (or my grandsons) help us unload boxes of books from the freight truck. <\/p>\n
There is no fanfare with the publication of an ebook, however. The fact is that ebooks are fairly obscure\/invisible. There\u2019s no excitement of a big shipment arriving at our doorstep. There\u2019s nothing to show off in person or to place on bookstore shelves. Producing an ebook is kind of a silent victory except where the computer is concerned. When you hatch an ebook, the Internet becomes your very best friend and a hard-working tool. And the author must work even harder than ever to get the word about the secret he doesn\u2019t want to keep.<\/p>\n
Have you all checked out my latest ebook or any of my ebooks? If you are a successfully published author with extreme knowledge about the publishing industry, then I probably do not have a book for you. If, however,<\/p>\n

you really must take a look at two of my ebooks\u2014The Successful Author\u2019s Handbook If you\u2019re not accustomed to purchasing and handling ebooks, here are a few suggestions:<\/p>\n 1: Print the ebook out on 3-hole punched paper and store it in a binder for easy reading and reference.<\/p>\n 2: Save it in your computer where you can read it and refer to it at any time.<\/p>\n 3: Purchase a handheld reader.<\/p>\n There\u2019s still a lot of controversy about the current and future popularity of ebooks. What is your experience\/feeling about them? Do you buy or publish them? How do you use them? What do you believe about the future of ebooks?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s Super Bowl Sunday.
