Plebs!?!??

Man, if it wasn't for all of you, this wouldn't have happened at all! So: Thanks and congratulations to all of you, for your support in getting a lowly e-book writer a bit of spotlight!

But as always.... Whenever there is an article like this, it's always Kindle, Sony or iPhone. Not a single mention of the fact that there are a bunch of dedicated ereaders NOT associated with any of those brands *sigh*

To quote Pete Seeger and Joe Hickerson:

"When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn..."
Well, the article did devote some space to ePub, suggesting it was replacing the eBabel that was the opening salvo of the e-book era.

Liked the article, too - well written and it sounded like the journalist had actually listened and done his homework.

Congratulations, Steve! Maybe now one of MR's best kept secrets will become known to a wider audience. I haven't had a chance to read the article yet: did you mention Verdant Skies?

STEVE!!!!! THIS IS SUCH GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!

THIS WILL BE THE CONVERSATION SOON: "Steve Jordan? Yes, I've read his books. Sure, he's a big celebrity now, but I knew him before he became a superstar. Nice guy, except for his penchant for interdimensional time traveling, a bit confusing that way. He had this one book cover photo that made him look like Neil DeGrasse Tyson, you know the hack who used to be a scientist, until it was finally proven that Mr. Jordan was a prophet and everything in his books turned out to really be true. Today is Thursday, right? Don't forget to take out the Jordan." (They'll change the name of recycling to Jordan.)

Love you much, and hope you outsell Dan Brown!

I actually did discuss Verdant Skies and The Lens, but none of those comments made it into the article. We talked for 20-30 minutes... a lot of my comments didn't end up in the article!

Well, they are usually limited to the amount of space they can have, so if the editor wanted them to focus on ebooks more, something has to give.
