Back in Blogosphere

Hoorah, I managed to resuscitate my blogger details. Nice to be back in the old blog. While I have been locked out, e-books are making their mark and making some savvy authors realise they can go it alone without a publishing house behind them. It means that traditional publishers have to be even more cautious about what they publish. No longer can they throw a whole lot of books at the wall and see what sticks. It needs a much more imaginative approach.

In fact they seem to be caught in a pincer-like attack - Amazon on one side and self-publishing authors on the other.

It will be interesting to see how they stand their ground.

Talking about self-publishing authors. Check out Robert Grossmith and his very funny philosophical novel. The best kind of book, not only will it make you belly laugh, it will also teach you a thing or two about philosophy.
