About a year ago, Amanda Hocking's story got me all jazzed up about ebooks. Now after a year of deliberating, I've finally taken the leap, converting one of my novels--Peachtree Corvette Club< /i>--into an ebook after working out an arrangement to regain my rights to the book from its original publisher (it came out in paperback in 2011).

Right now you could fill the ocean with all I don't know about ebooks, social media and the like. Still, I'm excited about the prospects of learning about all of the above. For starters, I don't mind the idea of having another way to generate income from the books I write, after all, I'm not a communist (one of my favorite Godfather lines). But I think what I'm most excited about is being able to control my own destiny in regard to the books I write. And I also like the idea that people are still reading, they're just using a different method of reading. So I'm eager to see what happens in the coming months.
