Six-Pack Stud-A-Thon #eroticromance With Jeep Diva

Do you have a favorite cover with that hunky cover model with the six-pack abs? I do. Ellora’s Cave is famous for the hot alpha male covers. Check out one of my favorites at the bottom.

The Jeep Diva www.thejeepdiva.com and Lea Barrymire  is hosting SIX-PACK STUD-A-THON BLOGHOP AND GIVEAWAY September 23-30 and giving lots of prizes away. I’ll be giving an eBook copy of Damned and Defiant (check out the hot cover below). The men of LaBare Dallas, Del Green, Justin Whitfield, Jeremy Mooney, and many other models and trainers will be there sharing their Hawt pics and yummy prizes.

Leave a comment and let me know who your favorite model, cover, trainer, movie guy...whomever! FOR A CHANCE TO WIN AN EBOOK COPY OF DAMNED AND DEFIANT.
And sign up on the Rafflecopter for a chance at other prizes and the GRAND PRIZE.

One of my favorites is the cover of Damned and Defiant. I love paranormal covers and this one is hot. Don’t know who the model is but he is fine. He represents my hero Dante, one of my favorite characters in my Demons in Exile series. He’s a tortured hero. He started out as a bad guy (sort of). Torn between worlds, he was trying to keep his world and his kind alive. Then he meets Haley, a mortal woman, and two worlds in two dimensions get turned upside down. The ruler from his supernatural world has the hots for him and has plans for Dante. So who do you think is standing behind Dante on the cover? Haley or the ruler, Gwyllain? I can’t give the story away, but imagine what Dante has to do for true love to win out.

eBook Revolution

About a year ago, I blogged about ebook vs print wars, but now I have to call it the eBook Revolution in line with the Industrial Revolution. Never have I seen a format of communication or entertaining cause such a stir in a matter of months, and influence publishing, media, commerce and other businesses to this extent. Maybe because I’m published by an eBook publisher Ellora’s Cave, I’m more aware.

Last Christmas when I got my NOOK, the display in my Barnes and Noble for the NOOK was a small table and you had to find someone to show you how it worked. They might have had one cover that you could look at but you had to order them or any other accessory. A few months later, a print bookshelf was replaced by a much larger display with a variety of NOOK accessories and covers. Now, several large shelves in the front of the store have been cleared out and a whole section is devoted exclusively to the NOOK. My critique partner has been hired to work that area.

I’m not sure when eBooks first came out, but I do know that Ellora’s Cave has been in business for ten years. So they’re at least that old. During the last eight or nine years, there was a definite line drawn between print and eBooks. The major New York publishing houses weren’t producing their books in that format. Then technology caught up. And now all major publishers produce their books in print and eBook.

We’re in an age where three-year olds are learning to use computers and elementary school kids have their own cell phones and laptops. Most households have a menagerie of electronic devices. Will a year’s worth of textbooks soon be downloaded on a student’s iPad or NOOK or Kindle each year instead of students lugging worn print books?

I also heard recently an agent negotiated a contract for an author with an eBook publisher. Usually agents don’t bother with eBook publishers because there are no advances or minimal advances with eBook publishers. But the royalty rate is much higher. The business model with eBook publishers is structured differently than traditional publishers. I think we’ll be seeing more of this too as the lines between eBook and print book publishers fade.

This past week New York Times announced that they will be rating eBooks starting January ’11. In light with what’s going on in the industry, this was inevitable but I think this gives eBooks a new level of legitimacy. The publishing world and the public watch the NYT ratings. Whether the NYT list will eventually combine the print list with the ebook list is yet to be seen.
