Well it’s come to this – Lit Between the Ears, Volume One: Chekhov, O. Henry, Spear and Tarkington On the Air is being published as an e-book. We couldn’t be more thrilled.
Presented as “an anthology of audio theatre writing,” the offical release date has not yet been set. However, according to the e-book’s author and publisher, William E. Spear, “we are looking at dates which would be attractive for the 2012 holiday season.”
Expanded details will be available here.

More progress in climbing the self-published e-book mountain. Somethings are swiftly accomplished - built a functioning table of contents fairly quickly.
Then needed six hours to center align a graphic at the end of each chapter. And I’m still not sure I understand why the mobi format insists on putting a shadow table of contents at the end of the book.
Nonetheless, the e-book is being built. Maybe a release date is in the offing. We’ll see.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater (CBSRMT) was my introduction to radio drama. Iin the mid-1970′s, my father was commuting into New York and every now and then I would grudgingly ride up to the station to get him.
One night I happened to tune in E.G. Marshall’s introduction and was intrigued. Here was a format that had disappeared from the dial over a decade earlier. And when the story came on I was entertained. But when Marshall closed the episode with “Pleasant dreams, Hmmm?”, I knew I was hooked. Picking up my father from the train station was never a chore after that.
It is a pleasure to welcome CBS Radio Mystery Theater; Radio Mystery Theater truly is Lit Between the Ears.

Back to the Future – HTML February 8, 2012

Thoroughly immersed in learning the basics of publishing e-books. All signs points to the form as a major component of the future of writing and publishing.
First lesson – go backward and re-visit or learn HTML.
The e-book form relies on HTML. Files sizes are modest and the readers tend not to be blessed with unending storage capacity.
Word processors, while marvelous for the process of creating attractive physical documents, are not so wonderful for the screen. Lots of unneccessary coding gets embedded into the files which adds nothing but overhead.
Consequently, I am rethinking the process of writing. Is a graphical text editor the logical first step for creating e-books? Unqualified maybe.
Lessons, lessons, and more lessons.
