Last week David Morrell Published an interesting essay at his website about the current state of publishing, with what challenges the economy and modern technology are posing. Morrell is nothing but a powerhouse; firstly co-founder of International Thriller Writers with Gayle Lynds, and earlier this year co-editing ITW’s 100 Thriller Novels, so it was little surprise to see Morrell joining the electronic bugle call. The amusing thing is that it was thanks to Morrell that I got an IPAD, and have started reading on a screen.So when one of the world’s greatest thriller writers enters the electronic arena, I suspect many will follow, especially readers eager to sample his out-of-print novels -
David Morrell, New York Times Bestselling Author, Makes Electronic Editions of 10 Books, Including a New Thriller, “The Naked Edge,” and the Classic “First Blood” Available Exclusively in the Kindle Store
Kindle and Kindle app customers can now download and start reading 10 books—6 of them previously out of print—including one new novel, in less than 60 seconds
Amazon.com today announced that internationally bestselling author David Morrell is releasing a new, never-before-published, full-length thriller, “The Naked Edge,” along with nine of his previously published books, in electronic book format exclusively in the Kindle Store. This is the first time any of these titles have been available electronically. These Kindle editions will offer additional content for many of the books, including new introductions and photographs that reveal insights into the making of these modern classics.
“Publishing these 10 books in the Kindle Store is a great opportunity to explore how electronic publishing enables me to give my readers additional, unique content,” said Morrell. “Available at $9.99 or less, I hope that my fans will be able to rediscover their favorite titles, and that new readers will have the chance to enjoy my books on their Kindles. I’m especially excited about publishing my new thriller, ‘The Naked Edge’ in digital format, exclusively for Kindle.”
Morrell is the co-founder of the International Thriller Writers organization, a three-time Bram Stoker award- winner, and recipient of ITW’s ThrillerMaster award in recognition of his legendary career and outstanding contributions to the thriller genre. His first novel “First Blood,” still in print after 38 years, became the successful Rambo film franchise.
