Romancing the eBook – South Africa’s Romance eBook Store, eBook Diva, launches

( 1 Vote )

This week, New Holland Publishing, in conjunction with Booksite Digital, a division of Booksite Afrika, South Africa’s largest book distributor, will launch eBook Diva (www.ebookdiva.com). eBook Diva will specialise in Romantic Fiction eBooks, which is by far the most popular category of eBooks. eBook Diva will launch with 1200 eBooks – which will sell from as little as under R20 per eBook.

Because of the digital nature of eBooks, publishers can now make reading a more interactive experience. And in addition to being a world-class eBook store, eBook Diva will create a free writers’ community which will allow fans of the Romantic Fiction genre to create and share their own eBooks with a community of readers who will be able to comment on their work. Aspiring authors can even personalise their eBooks by choosing fonts and book covers, while retaining ownership of the copyright to their work, which will allow them to publish their work.

Bi the way

( 9 Votes )

whateverI'm sorry, I don’t do bi," the little brunette said before tossing her hair like a feisty pony and prancing out of my line of sight at Adam and Eve last week.

I stood there like a jelly fish on land gaping after her as her head bobbed down the stairs. I felt like an idiot, again.

Lesbian women have a fear - nay a phobia - of bi women it seems. I cant being to tell you how many times I've heard the loveliest lesbian women going "you date a bi girl at your own risk", I mean like what risk? Do we bite? And is that a bad thing?
