Document Sharing on Scribd: Another Platform for My Work

I've been uploading selections of my writing to Scribd, a document-sharing site that resembles a YouTube for texts. Click on my Scribd badge to access my documents -- a mix of fiction, essays, and reviews.

ARELLA'S REPERTOIRE: The Prelude

You're invited to read the prelude of my novel, Arella's Repertoire, online. Please contact me directly if you have any questions about the book.

Reviving my Multimedia Quartet

See the public view of my Facebook photo album devoted to RECYCLED MEMORIES: A MULTIMEDIA QUARTET:

Arella's Repertoire (novel)

Vagabond Scribe (Leah's Backstory) (experimental fiction)

Video-Graphic Alchemy: Transforming "Dear Diary" (multimedia essay)

VirtualDayz: Remediated Visions & Digital Memories ("blook" based on this blog)

From Blog to Blook to E-Book: Reading VirtualDayz on Amazon’s Kindle 2

Now that Amazon’s Kindle 2 will soon be released (on Feb. 24), I wonder whether demand for the Kindle version of my book VirtualDayz: Remediated Visions & Digital Memories will increase. The paperback version of that book—which is based on entries I wrote in this blog from June 2005 to July 2006—is also available on Amazon.com. (In addition, the text can be downloaded from my storefront on Lulu.com.)

Video-Graphic Alchemy: Transforming "Dear Diary," an artist’s book I published, is also available on Amazon.com as a paperback. Because that text includes color reproductions, I haven’t formatted it for the Kindle, since the e-book reader handles only black and white images. A digital version with color images can be downloaded from my Lulu storefront.

I like experimenting with various media to transform texts, a process that Video-Graphic Alchemy documents: my childhood diary becomes the basis for a computer graphics series which becomes a video art production which becomes a literary experiment which becomes a novel which becomes ??? The process continues as I explore new possibilities.

(Along with VirtualDayz and Video-Graphic Alchemy, the literary experiment, Vagabond Scribe (Leah’s Backstory), and the novel, Arella’s Repertoire, form Recycled Memories: A Multimedia Quartet. That DVD and paperback versions of the fiction are available upon request while I look for a new publisher.)

P.S. I would welcome feedback about the way VirtualDayz looks on either version of the Kindle.

VirtualDayz Transformed Once Again

VirtualDayz: Remediated Visions & Digital Memories, the “blook” based on my blog, is now available on Amazon.com. The “search inside” feature should be activated soon. I may format the text for the Kindle, Amazon’s new wireless reading device. Transformations of my work continue.
