ALL ELECTRONIC BOOK

Working with well-known local artist, author, businessman, Ed Newman, for the ALL ELeCTrONiC offering of his YA novel The Red Scorpion. Ed, like Wallace Stevens and Ted Kooser, works in corporate office by day and by night he is a painter, prose-meister, creator extraordinaire.

The Red Scorpion is part Harry Potter, part The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and should intrigue Young Adult readers, especially boys.

There will be no print version of The Red Scorpion. It will only be downloadable at a super-inexpensive price in the fashion of Amanda Hocking.

You can check out Ed's interesting, erudite, revealing, insightful, blog at:

I guarantee this will be interesting.

BOOK ACTION

Lotta book action lately. Ed Newman is going to e-publish his stingingly good YA book, Red Scorpion. Query letters coming in regularly. Ghost Burglar is stealing along nicely. Dave Davecki is still in Quinlan with his newest adventure, Pony Girl. Where Memories Dream is camped out on the SPI bestseller list. Journey Into Joy happily getting placed in new giftshops. Shoulder to Shoulder marching forward. The Last Spartan is conquering all comers in the digital download department. DakotaLand's prairie schooner continues to sail with a mighty wind. All in all...good stuff, great stuff, outstanding book action.
