IT'S A GREEN THING

Hi,


Hope your holidays were healthy, happy, and harmonious!


This blog covers my Economic status and we'll hopefully cover Dhimmitude next blog.


In case you noticed, I took a vacation from my blog to publish my E- book .....ABSOLUTE POWER! ....on AMAZON as well as BARNES AND NOBLE. You can find it by typing in the book name WITH THE EXCLAMATION POINT to separate it from other books of the same name. It is a work of fiction about a 1950's imaginary family surrounding the election of a U.S. President, who is assassinated. The history included is "THE WAY IT WAS" although the events are figments of my imagination. By the way, in those far off days, a man named WALTER CRONKITE on early TV used to close his show by saying "AND THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS".


I hope you'll want to buy it and enjoy it! I'm competing with 3 million other authors so every sale is a major triumph for my writing.


I guess I should talk some about E-BOOKS since many folks haven't yet experienced the reading genre. It is part of the new world of media and may be a permanent wave of the future if paper for books continues to be a source of concern in evolving green politics. Bookstores are promoting it although it may well signal the decline of neighborhood book stores. Libraries may have to install more reader equipment for E-books and less paper books.


It began with the popularity by young people of two products called the AMAZON "KINDLE" AND THE BARNES AND NOBLE "NOOK" that are hand-held readers about the size of a medium sized book. They operate in a limited way but on air waves like the computer. You can read, buy, and exchange books on them. The books remain in your electronic library or can be put in storage or ARCHIVED within the device.Very handy when you want to retrieve them.


In order for folks not to be left out of the ability to read the E-BOOKS, Amazon and Barnes and Noble have provided FREE SOFTWARE on their E-BOOK sites to be downloaded to a computer or other device so that you can buy and read an E-Book without purchasing a new device. This includes I-Phones and other electronic items as well as the computer. IT ALSO PROVIDES AN INDICATION THAT BOOKSELLERS SEE E-BOOKS AS THE PROFIT WAVE OF THE FUTURE AND WANT FOLKS TO GET USED TO READING THEM!!!!!!!!!!


The electronic age is only getting started and many beloved institutions may see their final days. Each new century seems to usher in radical new changes and this century is no exception. Already combined into one device are phones, computers, cameras, video recorders, and TVs. The device is currently very costly but is another preview of things to come.


As for my book ABSOLUTE POWER! being termed on the CUTTING EDGE is perhaps an over-statement but it is close. However, as a very dear friend used to say, "It is as bad to be ahead of your time as behind it" and so far, sales tend to bear that out. I believe once people start reading it, my book will build on its own but getting it started in the face of massive competition is a conundrum. (I haven't used that word in a long time; it's a lovely sound although puzzlement is good too!!!!).


So, I hope you'll forgive me for "flogging" ABSOLUTE POWER! on my Blog but there are no book signings with E-Books, no interviews holding the book aloft, and no Oprah E- book list.


For more information on E-Books OR to order ABSOLUTE POWER! Go to: amazon. com (e-books) OR bn.com (e-books) and click on the information there. You will find the free download for the software plus by clicking on ABSOLUTE POWER! a synopsis of the book as well as a few preview chapters that can be read. There is also a brief profile on my background.


Hope you buy and enjoy.



Cheers, Connie
