Inside The World of E-Publishing and Digital First Publishing

Hosted by Christine Bell. If you are curious about how e-pub works, want to learn the pros and cons, clear up some misconceptions or learn how to find a reputable e-publisher for your own work, this chat is for you! Christine Bell (also writing as Chloe Cole), is published with four of the top e-publishers in the business and wants to dispel some myths and share some information for those of you considering e-pub. She will talk about ways to research e-publishers, discuss sales *gasp*, post informative links, and talk about how e-publishing differs from print publishing. She will also share her experiences with the editing process and publishing timelines, and take questions.  Plus you could win a copy of her book.

Savvy Authors
Christine Bell is one half of the happiest couple in the world. She and her handsome hubby currently reside in Pennsylvania with a four-pack of teenage boys and their two dogs, Gimli and Pug. If she gets time off from her duties as maid, chef, chauffeur, or therapist, she can be found reading just about anything she can get her hands on, from young adult novels to books on poker theory. She doesn’ t like root beer, clowns or bugs (except ladybugs, on account of their cute outfits), but lurrves chocolate, going to the movies, the New York Giants and playing Texas Hold ‘ Em. Writing is her passion, but if she had to pick another occupation, she would be a pirate…or, like, a ninja maybe. She loves writing funny and adventure-packed romance stories under her own name but also writes steamy erotic romance under her pen name, Chloe Cole. She is a huge proponent of e-publishing and publishes with Carina Press, Cobblestone Press, Ellora's Cave and Loose Id. One day she hopes to publish something her dad can read without wanting to dig his eyes out with a rusty spoon.

Naughty Godmother
It’s only her first day on the new job, and already fairy Holly Tucket is in over her head as she attempts to use her powers to turn super nerd Alex Nelson into a lady-killer. Little does she know Alex isn’t who he pretends to be, and when it comes to making women melt, he doesn’t need any help.

Security expert Alex Nichlaus has been undercover for four months and is putting the finishing touches on a smuggling case that has kept him secluded and celibate. When a sexy redhead shows up on his balcony claiming to be a fairy sent to teach him how to please a woman, he just can’t bring himself to send her away.
