Sorry I've Been Quiet
Our cat went missing, I've been dealing with joint issues and poor sleep, and Tech Guy is sick with a bad cough and fever, so there hasn't been much done. I'm just trying to not get sick, too.

My Books Will Now Be In Libraries!
Smashwords today announced a distribution agreement with Baker & Taylor, one of the world's largest distributors of physical and digital books.
The agreement will expand distribution for nearly 100,000 Smashwords books to new devices and markets.
There are two components of the agreement. The first is distribution into the Blio online store and e-reading app. The second part of the agreement gains Smashwords authors and publishers distribution into the library market through Baker & Taylor's Axis360 service.
If you're not familiar with Blio, it's an online store (Blio.com) and also a popular e-reading application that has been pre-loaded on over millions of computers and devices. It powers the e-reading experience for laptops, desktops and tablets produced by Dell Computer, HP, Toshiba and T-Mobile, among others. Blio is also available in the Android store.
The agreement will also bring Smashwords ebooks to public libraries that subscribe to Baker & Taylor’s new Axis360 digital media platform. Axis360, which was launched last year, has been deployed by several top public library systems in the U.S. Dozens more libraries are converting to the platform.
