In internet-savvy circles she has been embraced as a figurehead of the digital publishing revolution that is seen as blowing up the traditional book world — or "legacy publishing" as its detractors call it — and replacing it with the ebook, where direct contact between author and reader, free of the mediation of agent and publishing house, is but a few clicks away. There is certainly something to that argument. The arrival of Hocking onto the Kindle bestseller lists in barely over a year is symptomatic of a profound shift in the book world that has happened contiguously.
Her rise has occurred at precisely the moment that self-publishing itself turned from poor second cousin of the printed book into a serious multi-million dollar industry. Two years ago self-publishing was itself denigrated as "vanity publishing" — the last resort of the talentless. A survey carried out last year by the book blog Novelr found that of the top 25 bestselling indie authors on Kindle, only six had ever previously enjoyed print deals with major book publishers. That's the kind of statistic that made Penguin's chief executive, John Makinson, say recently that he saw "dark clouds" gathering in But Hocking's new-found stature as self-publishing vanguardista is not something she welcomes.
Self-publishing is great, but I don't want to be an icon for it, or anything else. I would rather people talk about the books than how I publish them. She also resents how her abrupt success has been interpreted as a sign that digital self-publishing is a new way to get rich quick.
Sure, Hocking has got rich, quickly. But what about the nine years before she began posting her books when she wrote 17 novels and had every one rejected?
And what about the hours and hours that she's spent since April dealing with technical glitches on Kindle, creating her own book covers, editing her own copy, writing a blog , going on Twitter and Facebook to spread the word, responding to emails and tweets from her army of readers? Just the editing process alone has been a source of deep frustration, because although she has employed own freelance editors and invited her readers to alert her to spelling and grammatical errors, she thinks her ebooks are riddled with mistakes.
It's exhausting, and hard to do. And it starts to wear on you emotionally. I know that sounds weird and whiny, but it's true. In the end, Hocking became so burned out by the stress of solo publishing that she has turned for help to the same traditional book world that previously rejected her and which she was seen as attacking. The deal kicks off this month with a paperback version of Switched. It's a fast-paced romance featuring changeling trolls called Trylle who are switched at birth with human babies.
The novel cannot be classed as literary, but then it makes no pretensions to be so. It is precision-targeted at a young-adult audience, and is surprisingly addictive. Once the Trylle trilogy is out, Hocking's new series of four novels, Watersong , revolving around two sisters who get caught up with sirens, will be released from August in hardback and ebook simultaneously. Hocking's editors on both sides of the Atlantic point to the deal as evidence that traditional and solo digital publishing can live in harmony.
Had to meet Chef Pierre to tell him how incredible his seafood chowder was being from New Orleans. How cool is that? The food is excellent and good portions. She seems nervous at first, answering my questions in short bursts and fiddling with her glasses; but gradually she relaxes as we discuss what for her has been the central passion of her life since an infant. Set it and forget it; every time you save something it's automatically backed up.
There's something peculiar about all this: Hocking is very aware of the paradox, which she observes with a wry writer's eye. And they want to use me to show it isn't. Switched, the first in the Trylle Series by Amanda Hocking, is out now in paperback and ebook formats, featuring previously unseen extra material.
Martin's Griffin in the USA. For further information, see www. The Chicago-based author is both prolific — he has written seven thrillers, a horror series, and a sci-fi novel, each under a different pseudonym — and candid about the benefits of self-publishing.
The "urban fantasy and paranormal romance" author sold around 70, copies of her ebooks in two months last year, and signed a three-book contract with traditional publisher Random House. She sums up her appeal thus: Last summer, the one-time insurance salesman from Kentucky became the first self-published author to sell 1m Kindle ebooks. It's a big success story for AmazonCrossing , which identifies books selling well in other languages, and republishes them in English.
To which Eric replies: I'll believe that when it happens. Very nice and confortable place , food very tasty and large portions , we will return for sure. This place was fantastic and the food was excellent. I live a mile away and never knew the restaurant was there. The food was delicious I didn't give 5 stars since we did wait longer than expected considering the restaurant was not busy when we went.
Other than this the server was very nice and so was the manager who approached our table. Wow where to start we were the only table to start so I got a lil nervous and almost left. We were told that because i is ina Hotel it is busir durring the week which was perfext for us.
That would have been a huge mistake, honestly it was one of the best meals we have EVER had! We drove over an hour from Ft lauderdale to Miami in a severe storm to try the Miami Spice menu and we are foodies and world travelors and blown away. Had to meet Chef Pierre to tell him how incredible his seafood chowder was being from New Orleans. We did not even know our meal came with a glass of wine and freshly baked bread with a balslmic mojo dipping sauce!
Then the presentation of the main course RibEye perfectly seasoned and crip edges and juicy in the middle. Baked potaoe salted and crunchy outside then mushrooms on the side marinated and sauteed and charred asparagus, I had to stop eating half way to save room for the dessert that was to follow Bananas Foster bread pudding simply perfection with a side of pistachio ice cream. I just can not stop talking about this or remembering how delicious it was!
Thank you again Chef Pierre for a dinner we will not forget! The food was excellent.
The restaurant manager was very attentive and involved. We had heard about this restaurant from friends but had not had a chance to go. Will definately go back soon! What a fantastic place!
