E-books & India

The reason for my new-found interest in e-books should be obvious. My first one is up on Smashwords and I am happy that I have been a relatively early entrant from India in this space. “He Sees Everything & Other Short Stories” is my first offering as an e-book. It’s an anthology of seven short stories set in contemporary India.

I am delighted to share that my first ebook is up at Smashwords. Do check out the collection of seven short stories set in contemporary India.

New Page on Facebook

As I mentioned in my Facebook Page, I have 762 friends on Facebook, but do realize that all of them need not be my fans.Though I wish they were. Likewise,all my fans are not necessarily my friends on Facebook! It had to happen sometime. It’s happening now. I am consolidating all my writing stuff in a new Facebook Page called, what else but “Prem Rao, Story Teller”.

The content, especially the pictures may be old for some of the more recent fans, but hopefully the old ones will put up with them for the time being. The process of  transition is a gradual one.

Cut Without Remorse

A project I am working on has over 88,000 words. You would believe I should be happy to have written so much, right?  That’s true only in some part. It does gives me satisfaction to have churned out so many words. However, the goal is not to write lots, the goal is to write interesting stuff. 

Book Titles- What Works For You?

I have started a new blog called “Prem Rao-Stories from a Story Teller” to consolidate all my writing projects in one place. I hope you will drop in and offer your comments/feedback.

Stories from a Story Teller

I have started a new blog.  Do I hear you say “What ! One more?” Yes, it’s one more.

This one is called “Prem Rao: Stories from a Story Teller” and seeks to showcase all my writing projects in one place. Currently they are scattered all over and I felt it would make sense to consolidate them all in one place.

What’s Cooking? Current Projects.

I was updating my profile at Author Central at Amazon.com, UK when it struck me that I was working on a number of very different projects. I thought I would share what’s cooking with you today:

Of Tablets and eReaders

I found this article by Josh Smith in GottaBeMobile quite interesting. I like the saucy title ” Tablets Are From Mars etc” and the information provided on the latest trends in the tablet/ereader space.

TIME list of Best Non-Fiction

I like non-fiction just as I like fiction. Memories of my childhood are replete with many biographies and autobiographies particularly of military leaders after the Second World War. If, like me, you enjoy non-fiction, here’s a list for the connoisseur. TIME magazine has put together its list of the 100 Top Non-Fiction books since 1923.
