Interesting article from the Daily Fail about self publishing and ebooks. Despite the lurid headline about can you make a million from it, it's a fairly unbiased article. Unusual in itself. Not so much the comments but this is to be expected.
Somewhat related, if there's anyone who wants a decent ebook read who's not read Heroine Addiction by Jennifer Matarese it's well worth a download. The blurb reads--

Vera Noble belongs to a long line of famous superheroes, but she's done quite enough lifesaving in her time. Now, she's perfectly happy to serve pie and coffee in her small-town cafe, far away from the bright explosions and enormous radiation-spawned monsters of the big city. However, no life ever stays safe and quiet forever, and one simple request from her family's former mortal enemy upends Vera's semi-average existence.

Law and Order thoughts

Have just finished watching Law and Order 20x11 Fed, and while the case was all very well and good, the episode for me boils down to two main thoughts.

1. The Return of Rey Curtis
Was lovely to see him, though BB you have not aged well. Nice to see the three girls all grown up, and the name check of Lennie and how he was still cracking jokes even to the end. *LENNIE! SOB!* Nice to see the warmth between Rey and Van Buren and you can imagine the two of them having kept in touch when he was in California. A well done guest appearance.

2. I want to be Anita Van Buren when I grow up.
The stand off with the Patriot Rangers, in her bulletproof vest, staring them down and kicking their asses with a few sentences? The look on her face when she was talking to Rey, when she was talking to Jack and had to walk off so she wouldn't break down? And the scene at the end where she was crying to Frank at almost four o'clock in the morning? She is AWESOME!

Also, I see Amazon have dropped the price of Law and Order complete series to $450. I still don't know if I can justify spending that amount of money on a boxset. I still think I'm not going to care and am just going to do it.
