THE eBOOK (KINDLE) version of THE KING OF PACOIMA JUST WENT LIVE ON AMAZON!

HERE'S THE LINK TO THE eBOOK (Kindle) version of THE KING OF PACOIMA!


Dear Reader,


I am offering THE KING OF PACOIMA exclusively on Kindle eBook format.  If you are an iBook person (and a MAC nut like me) now worries, all you gotta do is download the Kindle for Mac (or iPad, iPhone, Mac etc...) verison of Kindle. 


Frankly the eBook looks better in that format than it does on iBooks.

Here's the link to get the free Kindle App:


If you like the book, I would appreciate a great review on Amazon.

Thanks, and if you have not already signed up to follow my blog, PLEASE DO!

Best as always,

DME

THE KING OF PACOIMA NOW AVAILABLE!

Update on the publishing of my book...

Dear Reader,

After many editorial sessions and a bunch of last minute printer issues, my newest book, THE KING OF PACOIMA, is now available!

A small clarification: the paperback print files are now in the last stages of "CreateSpace detailing..." meaning the paperback version will be available, on its own page, on Amazon in 3 to 5 days.  The Kindle version will be UP and LIVE and AVAILABLE in about 12 hours.

These two versions will be "linked" shortly thereafter on the same Amazon page, and this is important because I signed up for KDP Select (meaning the eBook version is exclusively a Kindle version), Amazon's "Matchbook" program (meaning if you buy the paperback, you can simultaneously purchase the Kindle eBook for a steep discount) and also made the book available on Amazon Prime's Unlimited library program.

To explain the differences:  the images in the paperback (because of printing costs) are necessarily greyscale (black and white to us old schoolers) but look great nonetheless, the images in the  eBook are full color.  If you are an iBook person, now worries, because frankly the Kindle eBook version looks better in KINDLE for Ipad, iPhone, Mac...  Here's a link to download the Kindle App for free:


The book is also available, RIGHT NOW (in case you just can't wait any longer...) on my CreateSpace eStore.  Here's the link:


I would be very grateful if, when and if you purchase the book, and if you like it, and more importantly if you find it moves you emotionally.... if you would (when the Amazon page is UP and LIVE in 3 to 5 days) leave a positive review.

Thanks as always and check back soon for updates.  And PLEASE SIGN UP TO FOLLOW THIS BLOG -- I use this as my primary "portal" to get news out about my book and movies and everything else that might interest you...

Best,

DME

Dear Reader,

Thanks for reading and check back soon.

THE KING OF PACOIMA

My new book... 

Dear Reader,


As I close in on 150,000 page views on this blog, I am just about finished with the last editorial pass through my book, The King of Pacoima.  This is a big deal for a couple reasons, none the least of which is a decision I need to make for this First Edition.  And this is where you come in...

As I look back through the most popular posts I've written in the past few years, by far the most popular is "What Happened to Bobby at the end of Radio Flyer?"  That post alone accounts for maybe 60 percent of my blog page views; clearly there is huge interest in knowing the answer to that question. 

Although the book answers that question (and in case you didn't know, this is the book upon which I based the script for the film Radio Flyer) beyond the shadow of a doubt, years ago I did a particularly in depth interview about the film with journalist Stephen Greenfield.  It covers a lot of territory that is specific to the film, and a little about the story itself - from the book I mean, not the story as it ended up in the film.

The decision I need to make is do I include the interview at the end of the book, or not?  I've no doubt that it will be of interest to many readers, but I'd like the book to stand on its own - which it certainly does - exclusive of any comparison to the film.

Here's a link to the article I posted on this blog:
