Today the Book Boost welcomes author Berengaria Brown!

She's here to share her thoughts on the popular e-book versus print book industry controversy. Here's what she had to say...


There is a very clever article on The Huffington Post about the demise of the print industry, written by J.A. Konrath.

As an electronically published author, I am a big fan of digital publishing. No trees destroyed, no remaindered books pulped and adding to the mountain of garbage we produce each day, no transportation costs adding to our carbon footprint.

Then there is the speed and ease of purchase. Anywhere I am in the world, no matter what time of day or night, I can go to a publisher’s website, and download the book of my choice and be reading inside a few minutes. For considerably less than I would pay in a traditional, brick-and-mortar store. Or I can go to one of the big multi-publisher sites and scroll around through the genres to find half a dozen new books or new-to-me authors, just like in a bookstore, only I can be reading them in moments without ever leaving my comfy chair.

As an author I can see there would be something special about holding my book in my hands, and autographing it for a fan. I also hate the downside of e-publishing where people pirate my book and “share” it with their one thousand closest friends, without giving thought to the fact that if they don’t pay me for my work, I’m not going to be able to pay my bills.

But overall I see digital publishing as the way of the future, although print books will probably be around for some years yet.

A Note from the Book Boost: I'm torn between the two as well. I'm an author of both and a reader of both. I don't see why we have to choose one or the other but I can see that e-book sales are definitely hurting the print sales. It will be interesting to see how long it takes to phase out print books, though. Please tell us more about your book.


Blurb:

Huldah aims to conquer the challenging three-day hike. Derek and Corey plan to conquer Huldah.

Derek is tall, dark and dominating. Golden-blond Corey is warm and caring and can turn a campfire meal into a feast. Huldah just wants to prove to herself she can navigate and hike the trail. But the two men are awfully yummy. And distracting. Besides, sex outdoors is very good, especially with two men at once.

Between them, the two men bring Huldah’s passions to the boil and the three enjoy the hottest, most innovative sex ever.

Then Derek’s bossiness starts to cause problems. What will happen when they reach the end of the trail? And will they even get there if Derek insists on doing the navigating?


Excerpt Teaser:


Derek and Corey had really pushed their pace on the track, surprised not to see her up ahead until they’d understood she must have been deliberately moving faster than normal herself.

“She’s being sensible. Moving the pace along so she gets back before dark,” said Corey. “She’s an idiot; she’ll break her worthless neck,” growled Derek, his face red with frustration.

When they rounded the last bend and saw her sitting nonchalantly on the rock, Corey laughed.

“What an actress! You did that deliberately, didn’t you?”

“You damn idiot! Don’t you realize you could have broken your neck rushing down that path?

"Woman, you’re driving me mad!” yelled Derek, grabbing her shoulders and hauling her to her feet.

Then his lips crashed on hers in a passionate medley of lust and frustration. He pulled her tight against his body...
