I appreciate your emotional support and am now looking for a robot lawyer. There aren't many of those around, but I will continue the quest. Absolutely, I'm honored to send a review for posting on ebookguru.org. Thank you, Carol Hi Trevas:

There are several of us tech/fiction writers out there. I believe we have a leg up when we begin pursuing fiction because we already know a lot about grammar, style, and formatting. I appreciate your comments. Carol Hi Mark:

You're so right about technical writing vs. fiction writing. They're very different, yet they can be complementary. I've been a technical writer for decades. I had a nonfiction book about the OS/2 operating system published by McGraw-Hill in 1995, and I contributed three chapters to a book about computer hardware in 2005. I've also had numerous white papers and other technical publications published over the years. In 2003, I decided to try my hand at fiction for the first time since high school (way back in the '70s). I wrote a "hard sci-fi" novel with plenty of real science thrown in (astronomy, cosmology, metallurgy, etc.). Doing so allowed me to use both sides of my brain at once. The quality of the writing itself, however, didn't equal the inventiveness of the storytelling. Improving the writing was a process that took several years of learning, workshopping, and polishing. (My writing at the time was too mechanical, too nonfiction-like.) In the meantime, I wrote a second, a third, and half of a fourth novel, each one better than the last. As I finished one, I'd go back and edit and polish the ones that came before, improving the quality as I went along. Then last year I sold the first two (The Mars Imperative and The Tesserene Imperative), both receiving rave reviews from readers and reviewers. This year I sold the third (Sunrise Destiny) to another ebook publisher (Red Rose). The book will be out in early 2009. (Still working on selling the fourth while I finish my fifth.) All but Sunrise Destiny have been hard sci-fi, so I get to stretch my technical muscles while writing creatively. It's a win-win situation for me. I'm glad to hear it worked out as well for you.

You’re right. There are great advantages found in e-publishing. While print publishing is profitable, e-publishing is lucrative for those who choose their publishers wisely. With so many e-publishers popping up, it's very important for authors to choose a potential publisher only after researching all options. You make a great point. E-books are hot and they're getting hotter and hotter! Additionally, while the economy is volatile, e-books are easier on the wallet! Hugs, Destiny :)) www.destinyblaine.com Hey Carol,

Congrats on all of your super reviews! :) )
