I've been following some of the traffic on MobileRead for a long time, but this morning I decided it was time to officially join. (Oh, for another six hours in a day!)

I am a writer/editor/publisher living in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I am currently a partner in technical publisher Paraglyph Press, but some people here may have clearer recall of my first publishing company, Coriolis Group Books, which was Arizona's largest book publisher for a few years in the late 90s, but which closed its doors (long story!) in 2002.

I have also been editor-in-chief of three computer magazines: Turbo Technix, PC Techniques, and Visual Developer.

Although all of the books I've written myself have been conventionally published, I established a very small press on Lulu.com last year to explore new publishing models, including ebooks. Copperwood Press may be found here:

http://www.lulu.com/copperwood

I currently read ebooks on either a Thinkpad X41 Tablet or a Sony Reader. I have grumbles about both devices, and as I release more titles in ebook form, I will probably pick up an Iliad and a CyBook. A Kindle, well, we'll see...

As a publisher I'm only getting started in the ebook realm, but I hope to do a lot more in the coming year. I will be publishing more of my own SF, and as Lulu implements better mechanisms for royalty splits, intend to begin publishing anthologies of SF by writers in my workshopping group. (Alas, Lulu is a little behind the curve on ebook publishing, but they do a great job with Print-On-Demand.)

I have been blogging since before the word "blog" was coined, and I touch on publishing issues (including but not limited to ebooks) regularly on my Contrapositive Diary:

I'd be interested in meeting other MobileReaders in the Colorado Springs area.

Sorry to run on a little, but it's time I got serious about ebooks, and this is definitely the place to hang out if that's the case.
