On the "other side"

Ha! Now there's a double entendre for me!  I actually meant on the other side of publishing, but I'm soooo on the Other Side, as well. 

I simply couldn't blog when I was writing the new book.  I published Seeing Clearly in late August, and thanks to my Sangha friend, Barbara Stout, we quickly issued an updated Version 2.0 correcting my typos and errors. I'm told that Amazon sent out updates to everyone who bought it that first week.  I'm optimistic I'll see more reviews soon, as I've been hearing from readers.  Thank you so much to everyone who has, or will, support my writing career by buying the book (only $5.95, such a deal!)  The new book is "e Only" as I  explained in the latest issue of PKD Otaku  (Issue #29, and that's a big PDF 'zine download, for my 2 page article.)  Basically, I explain and defend why I think eBooks are the only way to go from here on out.  Unless you have some over-sized art book, or particular reason to create a hard copy, let's save the trees, clean out the clutter, be light and portable, and go "e."  After all, they don't call me "e. Jamelle" for nothing ;)

Now, that's the other side of publishing, but why the "Other Side?" Well, if you know me, you pretty much already know that answer. I've been obsessed with all things metaphysical my entire life. Starting with my mom's interest in ESP, Houdini, Edgar Cayce, and Ouija board, not to mention my Great Aunt Lorene the psychic Vaudville accordion player.  I was raised on weirdness. My novel was full of it, and the new book explores those topics and more! But, for the past couple of weeks I've been totally preoccupied with OOBEs -- out-of-body experiences. That will be in my next post. For now, I'm laughing at some tweets with the NaNos (national novel writers) about my search for alien plasmatic Sirian spores being one of the wierder Wiki novel searches ;) Me on Twitter:  (https://twitter.com/1ZenWoman)   Thanks for sticking with me during the drought (and the flood!)  Welcome back!
