Hey Kindle users. Now for a short time, you can purchase a year and a half of my life (probably more but I’m rounding down) for only $3.98. That’s right. Two novels for four bucks.
Go here for something dark: ISOLATION ON KINDLE
And go here for something light: EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE ON KINDLE
Read them back to back and marvel in the multiple personalities that roam about in my head.
To really get into Thrasher's head, switch between the books at every chapter break.
Kindle for PC, Kindle for Blackberry, Kindle for iPhone, Kindle for iPod Touch. No need to own a physical Kindle anymore to enjoy these great books; just download the Kindle software from Amazon and, bada bing, it's Thrasher time. I just bought Isolation.
On Schaumburg author JA Konrath's blog, there's a very intense discussion about ebook sales versus pirating versus discounting of books. Hundreds of comments to latest post worth a perusal if anyone hasn't seen it yet. Authors commenting that they sell, for instance, 1000 paperback books out of a 10k initial printing, yet some online newbie authors without any publishing contract selling more books on Amazon for something like 99 cents each! Devaluing artist's work, or giving budding writers a chance to sell books? Worth a looksy. I'd like it here but am on Ipod Touch so can't easily. Google Konrath to see it.

Wait, there it is. I think Travis knows Konrath. Anyhow, 319 replies, worth a quick read. Looks like Konrath is making his living by churning out pulp crime novels with a twist of humor and selling them cheaply and outselling his own hard and paper sales.
Not only is Borders Books on the ropes and ready to fall this year, but BN is reeling, despite the Nook, and the grizzly bears of Random House, Simon Schuster, etc are next. With Kindles free software, plus selling Kindles in Target stores, more ebookers than ever. When the readers are 99 bucks each, paper books will be more scares than a can of tuna fish in Cormac McCarthys The Road.
Hey Cookkayaker1. I met Konrath as a booksigning. Smart guy–we had a beer afterwards. I've been paying some attention to his comments/blogs on ebooks. The thing is–a major publisher built his name, and he's put himself in the same box in terms of his books. He's making money now on ebooks which is great. After reading some of what he said, I expected to sell a lot more copies of my book, EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE. But I'm still trying to be known for one genre, and EBYT is different from what I'm doing now.
It'll be interesting to see all the things that happen in ebooks. Thanks for this link—I'll check out the latest conversation! Thanks.
Hey, I'm digging Broken, by the way. I'm up to chapter nine and things are getting wild and woolly for Laila. Ciao, TT.
