Is it that time of year again already? I see I'll have to do another post to parody the Publishing Doomsday Cometh people.
I can say from experience that industry folks who don't write books for a living always feel compelled to predict what will happen to those of us who do. Back in my rookie year, e-books were supposed to destroy the industry and put all of us book writers out of work. Still waiting for the four e-horsemen of that apocalypse to show up.

<p>Please do parody the Publishing Doomsday people. And big congratulations on your e-release! I am trying to figure out which source will allow me to download the file format I want. Looks like straight from Penguin is my best shot. So looking forward to reading it! (Yes, it does warrant that many exclamation points.)</p>
