People are distracted by torrents of information and entertainment; how do authors get their stories heard in that whirlwind, which is only going to intensify with the tsunami of AI. To make matters worse, the encroachments of second-hand or even free books from outlets like Amazon and ubiquitous book boxes are further whittling away at writers’ incomes. Direct-to-Web responds to those realities by making books like this very affordable, dyamic, transportalbe, and promotable. Hope you’re enjoying the read/listen. If you are, please pay for the pleasure and make literature like this sustainable!
