eBook Writing and Publishing Resources

and marketing...

or starting or growing your own Internet business; you'll find information, tips, techniques and tools
to get the job done!
I started this site because I was finding information all over the web
but not being able to find it again when I really needed it. The World Wide Web is so huge and
has so much information it easily becomes confusing and overwhelming. But EBC offers an you an
all-encompassing site that provides resources for readers, writers, publishers and
entrepreneurs - all under one roof!
I hope you find this a place that is informative but not confusing, enjoyable but not boring,
and most importantly a place where needed resources are right at hand.
Wherever you may be in the development of your venture (thinking, planning, writing,
producing or marketing), this one-stop, virtual intersection of writing and publishing
has a wealth of information and tools to make your projects easier, faster and more successful!
Enjoy!
Happy Holidays to All! At this special time of year I always like to take
a moment or two and express my deepest thanks to all of you for your continued support. The
eBook Crossroads community is filled with wonderful people. Some of whom are just starting
out on a career of writing or entrepreneurship and it's so exciting to be a part of your
climb to success. And to those who are established in your own right I thank you for your
help and support. May you all be blessed and may you fulfill all you're dreams. Merry Christmas.

Let Every Day Be Christmas
Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself.

The HOT news this month is the announcement of Amazon's new Kindle Fire.
What's so hot about it? Word has it that it is the first
really competitive alternative to the iPad. I just finished my initial review, take a look...
Kindle Fire: First Impressions
Is the Amazon Kindle Fire the iPad alternative everyone has been waiting for?
Pre-sales figures suggest it’s on track to outsell the iPad in first month sales. If that
happens it would be a pretty big happening. So far no competitive product has come close to
rivaling Apple’s dominance of the tablet market.
There is a lot of reason for the excitement surrounding the Kindle Fire. It’s
different from the iPad, and yet similar enough to be a worthy alternative - or an even better
choice altogether. In fact, Amazon doesn’t seem to be trying to beat the iPad as much as it’s
doing its own thing and fulfilling other market needs.

Be Thankful Every Day!
 |
On November 24th we celebrate Thanksgiving in the United States. It’s a time for family and friends,
a time to eat (way too much) wonderful food and most importantly, a time to remember what we
are thankful for. I have a lot to be thankful for when it comes to my business. I am
thankful every single day for these things and I hope you can be thankful for your blessings
as well. Here are the things I am most thankful for...
I am thankful for my business. That I am able to do something I love to do, that
is so interesting and rewarding and that I can call a job.
I am thankful for the advances in technology that makes it possible to find almost
all the answers online - whether at home or on the go.
I am thankful for all my colleagues that make having an online business such a
pleasant way to make a living.
I am thankful to be able to help others get a start on their dreams.
I am thankful that everyone I know in this profession is helpful and willing to
share their expertise.
I am thankful to be able to work from home and for the opportunity
to be there for my children and grandchildren.
I am thankful that I learn something new every day.
Lastly, I am thankful for you! Thanks to all my customers and visitors for making
this site a success.
Here are a few quotable quotes for inspiration:
