My books on Kindle

I mentioned in the last blog that I had my books available on Kindle.

You can order either or both from Amazon.com.

Bochercon and Kindle

We had a great time at Bouchercon. Didn't get to see as many of my favorite writers as I have in the past, but I did meet a few new people that I'll be following.

I attended the session on Amazon's Kindle. I already have my first two books uploaded. I think/hope Kindle will make traditional publishing sit up and notice. It sure levels the playing field when it comes to publishing.

Michael Connelly was the Guest of Honor this year. Here's a picture of him signing his latest, "9 Dragons".
