Years ago,I used to write a book on my computer and then mail off the manuscript to an agent or editor. Those days are gone for me and other writers,and I have had to learn about e-books, and the requirements of Kindle and Nook, and and about HTML and PDF. I am grateful to Lisa Nowak for helping me to make the transition, and enabling me to get my book, Wishful Weddings, on the lists of Nook, Sony and Kobo.
