I spread my presence across the bookstore Net and then realised I was overextended. I signed up for Amazon Connect awhile ago. It’s similar to chapters.indigo.ca Community; in fact the Community is probably a take-off of Connect. I tried to stay current with both, but in the end, especially after all of Amazon’s shenanigans, I’ve…

On Bookpiggy’s Nightstand
Awhile ago, I participated in miniBookExpo and had my book claimed for review. I didn’t see anything appear and just about forgot about it. But I follow minibookexpo on Twitter, and one of its tweets got me to check out its site and then to look for Lifeliner’s reviewer. And much to my sweet surprise,…
Thoughts on Living with Tape on One’s Chest
What’s it like to have something stuck to your skin, year in, year out? When I was writing about Judy Taylor, I didn’t spend a lot of time imagining this, probably because for her, the G-tube (gastrostomy tube) consumed much more of her thoughts with its incessant leaking onto her skin than her catheter or…
Appearing on the Jack E Jett Show on RationalRadio
I sat by the phone at 2:45 pm, waiting for the call from the Jack E Jett show on rationalradio.org or 1360 AM Dallas, progressive talk radio. I was going over my summary for the final time when I noticed the clock had ticked by the magic hour. Suddenly the phone rang, once, and pounce,…
Going to be on the Jack E Jett Show! Whoo hoo!
Tweeting on Twitter is paying dividends I didn’t expect. Tweeting is fun; reading others’ tweets is funny, enlightening, boring, and never predictable. It keeps me writing when my brain isn’t up to much composition. Those are the dividends I was expecting and hoping for. But what I didn’t expect are the opportunities it brings. Jack…
Lifeliner in Malaysia’s Star
My parents recently spent almost a month in Singapore, Malaysia, and Vietnam, my father Dr. Khursheed Jeejeebhoy having been invited to speak in those countries. They kept him busy giving lectures to both English-language and Vietnamese-language audiences. He was so popular, he was invited back not only to speak but to teach for several months…
Search Inside Lifeliner on Amazon.com
Amazon.com has recently added a popular feature to my book page — “Search Inside.” With “Search Inside” a curious customer can click on the image of Lifeliner‘s front cover and get a peek at actual sections of my book. For some books, this feature allows a person to see the entire inside of the book,…
Mini Book Expo Claim, Malaysian Health Journalist, and Housekeeping News
Awhile ago, I wrote about submitting Lifeliner to Mini Book Expo. I submitted it in the hopes of getting more exposure for my book, but not really thinking that as a self-published author I had much of a chance of having Lifeliner claimed. When I received an e-mail asking me if I’d ship a copy…
