The E-Book Rebellion

Petticoat Rebellion - the e-book

Well, after a year of upheaval and house moves, the dust is finally settling –the builders have literally just left! – and there is finally some time to update my blog.

Petticoat Rebellion, the book after which this blog is named, was available (for a number of years) as a Kindle e-book from Amazon to mark the centenary of the heroine of the piece, Miss Anna Parnell. So, having shied away from purchasing e-books because I love 'real' books, I finally caved in and bought two in 2009.

Results Not Typical

The first was ‘Petticoat Rebellion’ (of course!) and the second was (the since unpublished ‘Results Not Typical’, a fun novel about the diet industry by the wonderful 'unpublished' author, Catherine Ryan Howard.* My guess is it won't be too long before she achieves her long-overdue and much-deserved publishing deal!

If you're nervous about buying an e-book, don't be!  You can download the Kindle app for free for your Mac, PC or other smartphone. Then try out some free e-books to get started!

*My prediction came true and Catherine Ryan Howard became a published author soon afterwards, with her debut novel ‘Distress Signals’ and is now recognised as one of the top crime authors in Ireland!
