Beg, Borrow, and Steal

I’d beg, borrow, and steal to . . . do what I love.  Which I’m doing to an extent—editing and writing.  Now, if only I could do it full-time and make a living at it.  😉

It seemed a “cute” heading for this post, given it’s related to libraries.  And libraries are about borrowing, not stealing . . . though we might beg for a book to be available.

My publisher, Next Chapter, is working towards establishing a more robust relationship with library platforms.  As such, they’ve developed one with OverDrive, which has their own library app: Libby.  It’s free for Androids and iPhones.

IPHONE:

ANDROID:

With Libby, readers can borrow ebooks from their local library for free by simply using, yes, their library card (remember those?)  This provides publishers with a new approach to marketing.

To see which libraries are using Libby, in case you might be interested, here’s a link:

And if you’d like to check out my second book—Can You Hula Like Hilo Hattie? (Triple Threat Mysteries Book 2)—the first of the series which has just been added, you can find it here:

I'm primarily a writer of fiction and blog posts, and a sometimes editor and proofreader of books, manuals, and film/television scripts. Fact-checking and researching, organizing and coordinating are skills and joys (I enjoy playing detective and developing structure). My fiction audience: lovers of female-sleuth mysteries. My genres of preference: mysteries (needless to say), women’s fiction, informative and helpful “affirmative” non-fiction. So-o, here I am, staring up a new blog for aspiring and established e-Book writers. The plan: to share the (long) journey of getting to this stage, and share "learnings" and "teachings". There's a lot I hope to accomplish with this blog, but it may be a while before that happens as there's a lot on the ol' plate - taking care of Mom, working full-time, and attempting to get another book in the Triple Threat Investigation Agency series written (never mind blog postings and other writing projects). It's very challenging and it's all good. As I like to say: teeny focused baby steps are just as effective as long forceful strides. It may take a little longer, but we will get there.
