Writing: benefits of e-publishing; authors reading

-- Quote of the Day --

“…as long as an e-book is selling fairly well, I will go back once a year and review it. I also have a proofreader and bless her heart she has seen a lot of stuff. I will update a book once a year and send it to her… we try to weed out the old links that are no longer operating and put in the new material that we found about once a year in our e-books.”

Interestingly I’ve been getting a lot of guest query applications and wonderful comments from listeners via social networking sites, especially in the later part of 2008 - and today’s guest is a prime example of this. I first heard from Carl back in the summer of 2008 via his query through Facebook.

Carl David is the author of a wonderful book, Bader Field, which is published by Nightengale Press. Carl tells me that Bader Field is a memoir about his father, Samuel David, a legendary art dealer, who passed on way too soon. The story unfolds as the third generation in the family business struggle to regain stability in a very difficult economy while giving our mother the will to live. There is a wonderful blend of art, love, tragedy and spiritual offering in this compelling story.
