When I tell my friends and family (and anyone else willing to listen) that my short story collection will be released in September, without fail at least two out of five folks say: “Cool. Can I get it on Kindle?”

Frankly, I don’t know. My publisher and I have talked about our electronic strategy, but right now, nothing is etched in stone. So this fine and informative exchange between the writer Achy Obejas and independent bookstore co-owner Linda Bubon, has given me plenty to think about: WCF, E-readers.

Linda Bubon is one of the co-founders of the very wonderful Women and Children First in the Andersonville neighborhood of Chicago. And lucky me, I get to launch my book there on September 9, 2011. More information about this coming soon.
