TIS
THE INNER SWINE E-BOOK PAGE

Friends, I got to thinking the other day about my recent publishing exploits, and it occurred to me that sitting around waiting for someone to publish my works-o-genius is a dumb thing to do in this day and age. Sure, getting a nicely printed and bound version of your book in bookstores is great, and for that I will keep trying to get others to foot the bills. But for my Digirati fans, I've decided to go ahead and self-publish a bunch of worthy manuscripts as E-books in various formats. Feel free to download them, read them, print them out, give them to friends, and show them to all of your literary agent friends. If you'd like to send me some money as a donation, that is not discouraged, although it ain't necessary. Enjoy!

The Adobe PDF files can be read in either Acrobat Reader or Adobe Ebook Reader., both free downloads. The Ebook reader gives it more of a book feeling, I guess. The RTF and TXT files should be readable in any word processor. The TXT files can also be read in your browser, bubba. For the Text files (TXT) I'd recommend the nifty BookReader from Rudenko software. Freeware, about 1meg download, turns any Text file into a nifty Ebook.
