Boob Tube by Mark Coker Boob Tube by Mark Coker March 07, 2008 $2.99 86824 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
I'm Mark, founder of Smashwords. Our mission is simple: we want to create the world's single best ebook publishing and distribution platform for our indie authors, publishers, literary agents and retailers. I'm co-author with my wife of Boob Tube, a novel that explores the wild and wacky world of Hollywood celebrity. I also wrote the Smashwords Book Marketing Guide (how to market any book for free), the Smashwords Style Guide (how to format, produce and publish an ebook) and The 10-Minute PR Checklist (helps entrepreneurs and business managers think more strategically about public relations. It's not written for authors, though some authors find it valuable.). When I'm not writing or working on Smashwords, I enjoy gardening, traveling and hiking tall mountains, the tallest of which has been Mt. Kilimanjaro. Write me at first initial second initial at you know where dot com (though please direct all support inquires to the "comments/questions" link you'll find on any Smashwords page).

Robert Etheridge: Thirty-seven years ago I began to walk the Middle Way.(The TAO) This journey has allowed me a glimpse into our world that is unseen by many.

Because of my Walk along the Middle Way I am able to see our world with a different perspective. Most of us see, 'Through a Glass Darkly', because our life experiences and emotions cloud our vision. I dedicate my books to clear seeing. Enjoy! Have some fun! Read them!
