My book launched sucessfully on Oct 7. On Oct 17, I had an official book launch that went better than expected. Now that I've got that load off my shoulders, I'm looking forward to spending more time hear and making a contribution to the network.

I've seen pages where people have customized their header. I can't figure out how to do that for the life of me. Do you know how? Also, could you expand on #3 -- the widget that you use, etc. Thanks
I just finished editing the audio version my book. The process was painful, time comsuming, and tedious. I ended up using Sounbooth CS4 by Adobe to get the job done. I used Lynda.com to learn the software, at least the two features I was intereste...

I've been eyeing the Amazon Kindle for about three years now.
I refused to buy as long as the price remained over $300.
They finally dropped the price earlier this month to $299 for the
Kindle 2. So, I swooped down and charged it.
So far, I'm p...

Stoneheart On Audio
I just finished editing the audio version my book. The process was painful, time comsuming, and tedious. I ended up using Sounbooth CS4 by Adobe to get the job done. I used Lynda.com to learn the software, at least the two features I was interested in: recording and editing. Adobe offers a 30 day free trial which allowed me to lay down the entire 360 pages and then edit it. Unfortunately, I found a few errors after I thought I was finished, so I had to buy the program in the end. How did the res… Continue

So far, I'm pretty satisfied. It's lightweight, plus you can increase
the font size, which I really like. It holds over 1,000 full length books.
First title ordered: Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston.
Price: $3.95. They've got to make a movie about… Continue
