The Ebook

The Evolution of the Ebook

I have something of a love-hate relationship with ebooks. And while I do think they are the future, I’m not sure I like that. At the very least, I feel a bit of remorse at the passing of paper books.

After all, the present form (the codex) of the paper book has been with us for approximately 1900 years. The codex replaced the scroll by the fourth century AD and was in use as early as the first century AD.

Now, I don’t think the paper book will disappear as did the scroll. I think paper books will survive. Although, I believe they will become rarer and rarer. Eventually, as bookstores disappear, and the older generations that grew up with paper books disappear, the ebook will become the standard form of the book.

We have moved from clay tablets to scrolls, to codices, to tablets once again. And the e-ink tablet is here to stay.

Although the majority of my reading is done on my laptop and iPad, I still love the feel and touch and smell of a book made from paper. I grew up with paper books. So I suppose my love for them is at least somewhat driven by nostalgia.

The Ebook — We Hates It!

What is it that I don’t like about ebooks? Here are some random thoughts, in no particular order:

      • I don’t own my ebooks. I simply have a license to use them. And that really bugs me. Because it’s always possible that at some point I just might have a book I love disappear.
      • I can’t resell my ebooks because I don’t own them. Which means if I “buy” a dud, I’m stuck with it. I’ve lost the money and have no chance to re-coup even a portion. At one point, Amazon was working on a re-sale agreement. But used ebooks are stuck in legal limbo. For now, the publisher owns the book and just lets you have the use of it. Too bad for you.
      • There is no tactile pleasure associated with ebooks. They are cold and sterile.
      • They are far more fragile than paper books. Because they are digital data, they’re open to corruption. They can also become unreadable when technology changes. Just like all the ancient writings that were lost that didn’t get copied from scrolls to codices.
      • If my ereader dies, I can’t read or even access my books. Until I get my ereader fixed or get a new one.

The Ebook — We Loves It!

What do I love about ebooks? Here are a few random thoughts:

      • They are so easy to store! I have hundreds of books on my iPad. If they were paper books I’d need another room in my house to shelve them, or even just to keep them in boxes.
      • I never break a spine or have pages fall out of an ebook.
      • I can adjust the text size. As I get older that is a very important feature. I can also adjust the font to find one that’s easier for me to read.
      • It’s easy to search for a word or line in an ebook. Highlighting, or removing highlighting is easy. And you can’t remove highlighting in a paper book. Writing notes in the books is also easy, and I can even write lengthy notes that won’t obscure the text.
      • I tend to read a book faster, because I find it easier to scan the boring parts.
      • It’s also easier for me to carry my iPad than it is a book — especially a big book. And my phone is even easier to carry than a mass market paperback (which publishers are replacing with ebooks).

The Bottom Line

The proof is in the pudding (or, for the purists, the proof of the pudding is in the eating), as they say.

While I don’t know how many hundreds of books (probably thousands all told) I have in paper — I read more ebooks than paper books. It’s just easier for me to hold my iPad than it is a physical book. And it’s often easier for me to see the text on my iPad than it is the text in a physical book.

I used to be able to read tiny print. Not anymore.

Ebooks will probably enable me to read at a much older age then if all I had were paper books. And since reading is my favorite form of entertainment, I love ebooks. I do hate them as well. But maybe, just maybe, I love them more than I hate them. Then, again, maybe it depends on what day you ask me.

Comments are always welcome! An until next time, happy reading!

One Writer’s Story

Tomorrow (October 2nd) is my birthday. I’ll be 67. Usually I like to spend the day quietly; reflecting on my life, and thinking about what I’d like to do in the next year. Eating some good food and maybe a homemade apple pie does help the thinking process. 🙂

As part of that life reflection process, I thought I’d tell y’all a bit of my life as it pertains to writing. So sit back and enjoy one writer’s story.

I was born into a lower middle-class family. The first of four children and the first grandchild on my dad’s side of the family. Because my mom had a very hard life growing up, she made sure I and my siblings had more than what she had when she was growing up. Back in the 60s, she was the only mom working outside of the home that I was aware of.

Back then there was no such thing as white privilege, because there were no minorities in my world. There was only economic privilege: the haves and the have-nots. And compared to my friends, I was one of the have-nots. Even with my mother working and trying to give us all the things she never got. I did not know privilege growing up. I was bullied and made fun of throughout my school years. I was awkward around people and considered a dweeb by my peers.

Being un-privileged and an outsider, meant I grew up without many friends, and was often rather lonely. To fill in all the alone time, I developed a very active imagination. Which has served me well as a writer.

Ever since I can remember I was a reader. My mom wasn’t a good reader, but she made sure I never lacked for books. There was always money for me to buy books from the Weekly Reader and the Scholastic Book Club at school.

Among the first books I remember reading were Scrambled Eggs Super by Dr Seuss; Danny and the Dinosaur by Syd Hoff; Sherlock Holmes; Edgar Allan Poe; Saki; Groff Conklin’s Omnibus of Science Fiction; Men, Martians and Machines by Eric Frank Russell; Costigan’s Needle by Jerry Sohl; and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Hunt Collins (aka Evan Hunter, aka Ed McBain). Notice the adult books in the mix. They were courtesy of the books my uncles left behind, which I found at my grandparents’s house.

My parents also bought a set of World Book Encyclopedias, and I remember spending hours reading them.

I loved books. And still do. I think I can honestly say, they have been my best friends.

And because of my love for books, ever since I can remember I wanted to be a writer. I loved books so much, I wanted to write them.

In spite of my mom’s encouragement to read, neither she nor my dad were at all encouraging of my interest in writing. Nevertheless, they didn’t stop me from getting subscriptions to The Writer and Writer’s Digest when I was in junior high. I suppose they thought my interest in writing was a passing fancy and their steady encouragement for me to pursue a “real career” would eventually win the day. Sad to say, it did for most of my life.

The first thing I remember writing was a pastiche of Jules Verne’s From Earth To The Moon. Instead of the Moon, my spaceship went to Mars. I suppose I was somewhere around eight years old at the time.

The next thing I recall writing was a play while in my 11th grade drama class. The teacher had the class perform it, and I suppose I could call that my first “publishing credit”.

The first piece of writing I had accepted by an editor was a poem in a horror fanzine called The Diversifier. That was around 1971. And poetry remained my sole published output until 2014.

I wrote a few short stories, an attempt at a children’s book, and a novel during those decades, all of which earned me some very fine rejection slips. Very fine, indeed.

It was, though, my poetry that gained me a modicum of fame in the late 1990s and early 2000s. No money. There is no money in poetry writing. None whatsoever. If one is a poet, one must find satisfaction in something other than money. Success must be defined other than monetarily.

Which is why I’m probably satisfied with the pittance I make off my novels, novellas, and short stories. Sure, I’d like to make thousands of dollars every month instead of $10, $20, or $30. But for me, thanks to poetry, success isn’t measured solely by a piece of paper with some dead guy’s mug on it.

At the height of my poetry success, I quit. I was nearing retirement age and, on one of those birthday meditations, decided I wanted to pursue writing fiction for the rest of my life. And so I quit writing poems and started writing novels.

The going was difficult, at first, until I found a writing method that worked for me. And when I did, the words just began to flow.

The Rocheport Saga was first (some 2200+ handwritten pages — it was the guinea pig), along with Do One Thing For Me. Those two were followed by Trio in Death-Sharp Minor, and a completely re-written Festival Of Death (the original dates from 1989), and The Moscow Affair.

My first four books were published in November 2014. I was now an independent author-publisher. And I haven’t looked back. To date I have 25 published books, with number 26 coming out Halloween week.

I retired in January 2015 and have been writing full-time and learning about publishing ever since.

Life is indeed good. I’m living a dream first expressed over 60 years ago. And I’m feeling good.

I’m a very happy man, even without making the money Patterson, or King, or Cussler make. Or even that which my fellow indie authors, such as Mark Dawson, Michael Anderle, TS Paul, PF Ford, or Patty Jansen, make.

What matters is I’m writing. And that’s all that matters.

The Reading Experience

Every reading experience begins in the mind of the writer and is completed in the mind of the reader.

That means every time I finish writing a book, I’m only half done. No communication, no entertainment has taken place until someone reads what I wrote.

Only when there is a reader has the act of writing a novel been completed. And for the reading experience to be a positive one, the reader has to be able to tap into the world I created and been able to take something away from it that he or she can make part of his or her ongoing experience in this journey we call life.

Lee Child, in his 2012 introduction to a new printing of the first Jack Reacher novel, Killing Floor, says essentially the same thing.

Child wrote in that introduction this gem:

To me, entertainment was a transaction. You do it, they watch it, then it exists. Like a Zen question: If you put on a show, and nobody comes, have you in fact put on a show at all?

The reader is vital to any fiction writing experience. Not awards. Not accolades. Not bestseller status. Those things are nothing.

Bestseller status can be, and often is, gamed. (For example, Joanna Penn wrote a blog post on how you can ad stake your way to bestseller status.)

Accolades can be false. “That was a great book, Chris!” Said not because Jed actually meant it, but because it’s the social thing to do. Or maybe he’s hoping I’ll write him a 5-star review.

Awards basically mean nothing except to those who put value on what other people think. And often the award is based on who gets the most votes. So the winner is simply the one who got his or her fans to cast the most votes. Pure high school.

All that really matters are readers. Because readers read books. It is the reader that counts — and only the reader.

I am a reader. I have been ever since I can remember. Books are my life. Wear the old coat and buy the new book.

What do I look for in a book or short story? First and foremost — character. As Lee Child noted in the above mentioned introduction:

Character is king. There are probably fewer tha 6 books every century remembered specifically for their plots. People remember characters. Same with television. Who remembers the Lone Ranger? Everybody. Who remembers any actual Lone Ranger story lines? Nobody.

But great characters are only a part of the puzzle. There are certain themes I gravitate towards and others I shy away from.

In my life, I’ve experienced a significant amount of injustice. Unfairness. So for me, justice and fairness are very important themes. I want to see an unfair world made fair. I want the characters in the books I read, the good guys, to right wrongs. To see to it that the bullies and cheaters don’t win.

As a reader, so am I as a writer. My private detective’s name reflects it all: Justinia Wright. Justinia comes from the Latin for justice, and Wright to connote that she makes things right.

Pierce Mostyn fights an uncaring, and to us unfair, universe and its minions. He does his best to prevent bad things from happening to good people.

The other theme that is important for me is loyalty. In my world, when I was a child, I often felt like Julius Caesar, crying out “Et tu Brute?”. And in some ways that feeling of betrayal at the hands of those I trusted continued into adulthood. So loyalty and betrayal are themes which gain my attention as a reader.

And loyalty and betrayal also factor in my writing. For all their bickering, Tina and Harry Wright depend on each other. They are loyal to each other, through thick and thin.

Bill Arthur, in The Rocheport Saga, as he seeks to build a new world out of the ashes of the apocalypse, is constantly faced with issues of loyalty and betrayal.

To the extent a writer can tap into what is important to me, that writer becomes memorable.

For the most part, I think most readers don’t give this idea of themes conscious thought. They read books and like some and not others. The books they like they often aren’t even sure why they like them. Most likely, though, they like those books because they tap into things that matter to the reader.

As writers, we have to give this considerable thought if we want a ready audience. What is our message? The more we can identify it and communicate it, the more likely we are to find our fans. And not have to rely on accident or luck.

Comments are always welcome! And until next time, happy reading!

What Book is in Your Hand?

Reading is my favorite form of entertainment. I enjoy reading over TV and movies. I enjoy it more than boardgames. Although I might actually enjoy eating more than I do reading. The waistline is difficult to ignore.

There is, though, one problem I have as a writer with reading. It takes over my mind. As a result, if I am writing a horror story, problems develop if I start reading mysteries, for example. Suddenly my brain leaves the monsters behind and I’m thinking whodunit. Something of a problem that!

Recently I received a three month Kindle Unlimited trial for 99¢. Unfortunately, it ran over the holidays so I didn’t get as much of an advantage out of it as I would have liked. Nevertheless I did read 7 novels/novellas, 7 short stories, and 1 short story collection. Which means I did get my money back with interest.

Most of the novels I read were mysteries, and therein lay the conflict with my novel writing.

I’m currently at work on Pierce Mostyn #7, but with all those mysteries passing before my eyes my horror novel started looking a little bit like a murder mystery. I’ll undoubtedly have some fixing up to do.

However, don’t take the above as complaining. I’m just saying. Because quite a bit of my KU reading was, in fact, horror related. The short stories were from the Occult Detective Quarterly, Issue #1 (Fall 2016). Six of the seven stories were excellent reads. So good in fact, I’ll probably buy all of the issues. The short story collection was The Abominations of the Nephren-ka and Three More Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos by Mark McLaughlin and Michael Sheehan, Jr. All four of the tales were quite serviceable reads with which to pass a couple of hours.

With the KU trial over (I didn’t renew), I’m now back on my own resources for reading, which includes the works of several indie authors of my acquaintance I wish to promote.

I think it is very important for indie writers to read the books of their fellows. Because we indies are all in the same boat pulling at the same oars. The least we can do to help each other is to buy, read, and review each other’s work.

Over the weekend, I read In Agony Again by Ernestine Marsh. Ms Marsh has to be in the running for the title of Queen of Comedy. She’s that funny.

With the writing of Pierce Mostyn being bent all out of shape due to my recent reading, I have to get it back on track.  So for the rest of the month, I’ll be focusing on horror, the supernatural kind.

Aside from the KU reading, I’ve read this year “The Call of Cthulhu” and “The Nameless City” by Lovecraft, and The Horror from the Hills by Frank Belknap Long. Having thus far read only one Clark Ashton Smith Cthulhu Mythos tale, maybe I’ll spend some time with Mr Smith. “The Tale of Satampra Zeiros” may be a very good place to start.

Now to you. What book or books have been in your hand of late? I’d like to hear about them. Especially if the authors are indie writers such as myself.

With over 3000 new books appearing on Amazon each day, that’s a lot of books to sort through. And if we consider that four years ago there were 3 1/2 million ebooks in the Kindle store — that’s a heck of a lot of books to look through for some good ones.

So please share some of your good reads with me, and you can bet I’ll do the same back with you.

Comments are always welcome! And until next time, happy reading!

Interview with Karen J Carlisle

 

I’ve never been a fan of time travel, yet I realized very recently that right here on planet earth we do time travel all the time. Today’s guest lives in my future and I live in her past. That’s because she sees the sun before I do and for other very scientific reasons.

I first met Karen on Twitter. I think it had to do with our mutual love of tea that we followed each other. Then we ran into each other on the now defunct Steampunk Empire. And we’ve been in each other’s future and past ever since.

So all the way from the future in Adelaide, Australia, we have with us Karen J Carlisle and she is going to talk to us about herself and her new book.

CW: Welcome, Karen! Glad you can visit with me here in the past. At least it’s the past for me. For you it’s the present.

Karen Carlisle: Thank you for giving me this opportunity to get in practice for being the Doctor’s next companion.

CW: My pleasure. So, tell us a little about yourself.

KC: I’m a science geek. I’m a Doctor Who fan. I’m an artist. I love to garden. I’ve played D&D since 1979 and have been a historical re-enactor since 1994 (though I don’t get much time to do it now).

When I left school, I wanted to be a writer, an archeologist, a photographer, a cinematographer, an artist, an astronaut and the Doctor’s next companion. Instead I did my B App Sc and became an optometrist.

After a few false starts and an unexpected, and forced, career change, I’m now pursuing my first love of writing. I work more hours than I ever did before. And I’m loving it. I get to create things. (Some people even like them.) Bonus!

CW: What did you read as a child?

KC: The earliest recollection is a book from primary school: ‘Stig of the Dump’ by Clive King. For some reason that one sticks in my head. My favourite childhood book was ‘The Dark is Rising’, by Susan Cooper. I’ve just finished re-reading it. Still love it.

I moved onto crime and mystery, delving into Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh and Sherlock Holmes books. A librarian, who wanted to expand my reading diet, introduced me to ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘Lord of the Rings’ and then I gorged on fantasy. Science fiction wasn’t far behind. I think I’ve read just about every Star Wars novel and Doctor Who novel that was published in the 70s and 80s. So, most of my literary diet is fantasy, science fiction or mystery-who-dunnits.

CW: Aside from writing, how do you spend your free time?

KC: I love to create.

I’ve been a costumer since 1980 (my first fan con was Conquest in Brisbane). I do photography, draw (pen and ink mostly. I have some of my work on Redbubble). I’m also a Doctor Who fan (since early 70s) and an old movie buff.

I spend a lot of time in the garden – though I’ve neglected it this year. I have a chemical-free (mostly) edible garden, and companion plant garden as well.

There are way too many things to distract me. I can’t list them all here.

CW: How many fiction books do you read a year?

KC: I’m a notoriously slow reader these days. I used to read a few books a month when I was at university.

These days (due to an extraocular muscle imbalance – oh ugh, technical jargon.), I can manage one a month. This year, I’ve struggled to complete three, as I was ill most of summer and am slammed with a writing deadline at the moment. Though I still buy books as if I was still reading at Uni-speed.

My ‘must must- read’ pile is nudging nineteen books. Guess what I’m doing when this book is published?

CW: What book do you think everyone should read and why?

KC: 1984 by George Orwell.

I studied this book in high school. It’s a cautionary tale for those of us who value personal or thought freedom, and a handbook to those who seek to control the masses. Read it.

These days, I see parallels all around me. Social media playing Big Brother – watching our every move, And we let it happen. Ordinary people participate, swept up in the group mentality, while those who shout the loudest vilify and control those on the fringe, or those with differing opinions.

Governments are defunding arts and declare words, such as ‘climate change’, should not be used in official documents and research. Both are known tactics when trying to curb independent thought and control a population.

It’s all there in 1984. It’s been used before, to great (and detrimental) effect… And we all know how that ended.

Or is that being too cynical?

CW: No, not at all! 1984 is one of the all time great books. It is definitely a must read, as you say, if we care at all about our actual liberty and our freedom to think. And again, as you point out, we do indeed know the real life exemplars of 1984 ended.

So tell us, now, about a book that has influenced you as a person.

KC: Okay, this will get a bit deep and meaningful now. If I dig down to my philosophical and emotional core, the New Testament of the Bible had the earliest and lasting effect on me.

I was brought up a Methodist but taught to question why, and not follow blindly. I believe if we treat others equally – as we expect to be treated – then the world will be a better place. No strings attached. No caveats. No buts. Everyone has a right to live and love. This hope keeps me going, gets me through moments of anxiety.

Bill and Ted (as in Excellent Adventure) got it right: Be excellent to each other.

CW: It is the Golden Rule in practice. You are absolutely right: if we only followed it, our world would be a much better place for everyone.

Okay. You are being exiled to a small island in the Pacific. You can take 3 books with you. What books would you take and why?

KC: Argh, the answer changes whenever I get asked this question; it depends on my mood and where my headspace is in at the time.

Right now? In no particular order:

  • Lord of the Rings (the trilogy in one book — even if that is cheating). I find the story full of hope, of undying friendships, loyalty and love, and good triumphing over evil. All these things seem to be of lower priority these days, but it is something most people crave. I need a friend who will keep looking for me and rescue me, or at least do regular book drops. (Or at least will help me hide the bodies… Did I say that out loud?) Plus I have a thing for Aragorn.
  • Blue Moon Rising by Simon R Green. This is my ‘comfort book’. I read it first in the 80s. It’s a feel-good, fun adventure, with a spirited female character and an unlikely hero. Its voice is easy to read. It always makes me feel better.
  • A never-ending notebook (and pencils). If I couldn’t write while I’m there, I’d go absolutely barmy! (NB: I take it an unending dark chocolate supply is a given, right?)

CW: We’ll make an exception on the dark chocolate, just for you. Now tell us, please, about a book that’s influenced you as a writer.

KC: I can’t confine myself to one. I’d say it’s a combination of writers – Agatha Christie (many of my stories end up with as mysteries), Conan-Doyle (Sherlock Holmes – for mysteries and that slightly off-kilter Victorian feel), and Gail Carriger (for her voice, which she calls comedy of etiquette. I wish I’d come up with that phrase!)

CW: Of all your books, which one is your favorite and why?

KC: Of the books I’ve written? That would be ‘Doctor Jack’.

I’ve always had a fascination with Jack the Ripper – not the creature himself, but the history and mythology that has been woven around it. Who was he? Will we ever know? Why did the chief of police really scrub away the graffiti on the wall – was it political, was it a cover up? Why didn’t they use some of the latest forensic methods, such as fingerprints (the new technique had been used in France)? Was there a conspiracy? Why weren’t some of the newspaper eye witness accounts used in the coroner’s court? There have been so many theories over the years, yet we are no closer. It is the ultimate true crime who-dunnit. It was a story rife for speculation.

I wrote ‘Doctor Jack’ as an experiment in writing from the villain’s point of view. Every bad guy thinks he’s the hero of their own story. They have their own loves and hates, their own dreams and goals. I wanted to show that , and perhaps have the reader understand his thinking, without necessarily condoning it. I mean, the murders were horrid.

CW: If I hadn’t read any of your books, which one should I start with and why?

KC: Start with Doctor Jack & Other Tales (paperback).

This is the first paperback in the first series I’ve written. You can read each story separately; they are complete in themselves, but there is a background story arc threaded through them, which concludes in The Illusioneer (I’m working on now).

If you read the ebooks, start with the novella, Doctor Jack – my retelling of the Jack the Ripper story. Doctor Jack was my favourite story to write. You can go back and catch up on the first three short stories, which fill in the background. However, Doctor Jack does have a spoiler for the second short story, An Eye for Detail.

CW: Where we can find your books?

KC: You can find shopping details and links on my webpage: www.karenjcarlisle.com/shop

They are available via various online bookstores in Australia and internationally, including:

Amazon, Smashwords, iBooks, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Booktopia, Fishpond, Angus & Robertson/Bookworld.

You can also buy the paperback direct from me (if you live in Australia).

CW:  Would you give us contact information, such as a url to your website, Amazon page, Facebook page, or wherever else we can find you?

KC: Sure!
