We've taken the Smashwords plunge to publish a book that is not intended to see the light of day as a print work. Inferno: An Inquiry Into the Willingham Fire will be an ebook first, and most likely, always.
Smashwords converts an uploaded book into a number of different formats, for reading on all the different ebook platforms out there. Kindle, Sony, Nook, and Apple, the major players, all have their platforms. We've priced the book at 99 cents, continuing our 99 cent experiment in other markets.
The SJ's book about Cameron Todd Willingham is selling, slowly, at Amazon. Mostly in Kindle format. This book is an extension of that one, an investigation of the possible actual causes of the fire. While people mostly debate as to whether or not it was arson, there's nothing else written about the question of if it's not arson, what could have caused it?
One of the advantages of ebooks is that publishing color graphics is so much easier than in print. So there are plenty of pictures and graphs to illustrate points made in the text.
We're also treating this as a learning experience for our upcoming publication of The Rate of Wrongful Conviction (thrilling title, isn't it? We have to come up with a better one), coming soon. Ish.
