Roz Savage Newsletter



New Look Website
rozsavage.com
Following the update to Microsoft's Internet Explorer, rozsavage.com is now Up and Running. Evan from Archinoetics has been burning the midnight oil re-building the website and I think you will agree that it's a good look. Access to all Roz's blogs, podcasts, videos etc is now from the front page, and all comments are now on the site instead of spread across to the blog site. Check It Out!

Getting a perspective on the world
This week Roz has been observing the perils of watching the GPS too closely as the winds and currents blow her in big circles. The good news is that not only are she and the Brocade now heading in the right direction, but with a few wise words reminding herself to look at the big picture she is in good spirits as well. You'll be pleased to know that all the comments posted by the Rozinators (or whatever we're called this today) are sent on to her daily and the words of encouragement are greatly appreciated.

Pssst, there's something cool going on

Laura Ling & Euna Lee freed!

As the rest of the world is already saying, Laura Ling and Euna Lee, the two reporters sentenced to 12 years hard labor in North Korea, have been freed, and are now being escorted on a plane back to the U.S. by former President Bill Clinton. That is so cool!

Yes, that's why that graphic has been on my blog header for the past while. I'm going to leave it there till they're physically back in the US. I doubt my little gesture meant much. But one does what one can.

If we'd known you was comin'...

Just got pointed to an article at TheBookseller.com about Iain Banks' new novel, "Transition," and how they've come up with this groundbreaking new technique for distributing the book: as a free, serialized, podcast audiobook.  Lovely idea.  And then, "Sarah Shrubb, editorial director of Hachette Digital, said: "This is the first time an audio has been serialised in this way, and we're very excited to be doing something so groundbreaking." "

Oops.

I am in the middle of finishing my sixth, free, serialized, podcast audiobook.  I'm just a producer, not an author.  And I came way, way, late to the game.  There are authors who have been publishing this way for years.  You could look them up.  Several have been quite successful, and some have hit the New York Times Bestseller lists & whatnot.

And now Iain Banks is "the first."  If we'd a known he was comin', we'd a baked a cake.

I gather Mr Banks is a very good author, and I strongly suspect that he, at least, knew he wasn't the first.  It is unfortunate Ms. Shrubb wasn't quite so informed about her own industry.  Glad she's excited, though.  Excited is good.  Informed would be a nice addition.

(sigh)
