Administrivia – Part 2

I have been remiss.  A week or so ago, at the height of the Amazon/Macmillan kerfluffle, a commenter pointed out that nowhere here at Face of Chaos did I take the time to identify myself nor had I done anything to satisfy a newcomer’s curiosity about my storytelling.

I took steps to seal both those loopholes, then promptly developed massive allergy symptoms and forgot highlight them.

So….in case you hadn’t noticed….

All posts are now coming from Lynn Abbey instead of Lynn and I’ve added PAGES to my blog header.

Click on the “About” tab at the top of the page and you’ll find my “3rd Person” biography.  As writing assignments go, writing about myself ranks down there with revising the tax code, but it covers the basics.

The second tab “Bibliography / 1st Chapters” is cut-and-paste from my website lynnabbey.com.  It’s a collection of links to the “my books” pages I created back when static websites were the new kids on the block.  Aesthetically, they’re pretty dated now, but just about every book I’ve written has a web page where I wrote a short essay about the book and then displayed the first chapter in HTML format. 

Turning those HTML chapters into e-readable downloads is one of the many items beneath the round tuit on my desk, but, in the meantime, if anyone wants to sample my fiction….

(I am, by the bye, nearing completion of the OCR clean-up of Daughter of the Bright Moon . By Sunday, I expect to be exploring the mysteries of ToC creation and format conversion.   Fingers crossed, but by mid-week, I might actually have a novel (!) for sale over at Closed Circle )

And, finally—during the kerfluffle the Teleread blog posted links to some of posts.  I’d not heard of them before, but they’ve quickly become a preferred source for news and opinion regarding the rise of digital prose and ereaders. I don’t agree with everything I’ve read there, but I’ve found Teleread to be have consistently interesting original material and to be a good aggregator of other pertinent articles and posts.

Since they were nice to me.  I’m adding them to my blogroll and recommending that you click on over….
