Print Or eBook?

My NNP novel "Don't Call Me Baby" is soon coming out in print. While I write mostly in ebook form, I do like the feel of a print book in my hot little hands. There's something about the texture and smell of paper that I find satisfying. Plus, a print book feels more like a real book. I know ebooks are just as real and as valid as print books, but my mind hasn't completely given over to them yet.

 I love print books. I collect old books so the printed word is very important to me. I have an entire 1905 collection of the complete works of Edgar Allan Poe, another Poe book illustrated by Harry Clarke, early 20th century hardback editions of Wells and de Maupassant, and Victorian pillow books. I'd love to get my hands on some Strand Magazines with the Sherlock Holmes stories in them and books illustrated by Arthur Rackham. Some day, some day.

 That said, ebooks have their advantages. For one thing, they're often cheaper. I can store the same number (hundreds) of books on my Kindle that fill ten bookcases in my home. I can change the font size so my decrepit eyes can easily read. Some books are only available in ebook format. Ebooks are definitely the wave of the future. Even so, I do like to hold a print book in my hands.

 Since "Don't Call Me Baby" is coming out in print, I wanted to make sure all my readers are aware of my Night Owl Top Pick novel. It's new adult, meaning the leading character is college-aged. She has quite the roller coaster ride of a life, too. Below are links and my Night Owl 4 star review.

Don’t Call Me Baby is a fast paced, very adventurous romantic novel that will take readers on a roller coaster ride of scorching romantic fun. The main character, Catherine, is a woman after my own heart. She is young and fiercely independent, and beyond gorgeous. She is not wealthy, but she wants to live the good life and is not afraid to go get it. She is also very sexually liberated, and in the 1980’s this was sometimes a good thing, and sometimes a not so good thing. The story is so blisteringly hot and steamy; it’s difficult to put down. It took me back to a better time, and a time I enjoyed much more. It is a novel I truly enjoyed reading, and will definitely be reading time and time again. It’s not for the faint of heart, but it’s also not to be missed.

So many men, so little time. Catherine has a long list of men that she sees on a regular basis, and at the top of the list (for the moment, anyway) is Brian. He’s one of her professors at Quincy, and a married man, but that’s never been a problem. But he’s so demanding! So maybe some time apart will be just the trick. A summer theater camp at another local college for local teens should make him realize that Catherine is not his possession, right? That is, until she gets to the camp and meets the other counselors. Ryan is gorgeous, and the rest? Well, what’s a girl on her own to do? Why, enjoy as many as she can! In the meantime, Catherine will come to grips with her mind and her heart, and will figure out what she really wants in life.
