Want to read a book where the main characters are Baby Boomers? Then you'll enjoy our new book. What happens when three women, friends since high school days, decide to search for old boyfriends—decades later? That’s the plot of I.O.U. SEX, a novel by Sandra Nachlinger and Sandra Allen. When June, Kiki, and Peggy graduated from high school, all of them were still virgins. After all, they were good girls. Years later, when the three women read June’s diary from their senior year, they joke about the sexual frustration they caused their steady boyfriends back then. That’s when Kiki makes a startling statement. “When you think about it, and I’m only trying to be fair, we owe those guys sex.” With bawdy jabs and tipsy laughter, they vow to track down their old boyfriends and just DO IT, which is something they definitely did not do years before. Lives intertwined, the three friends share their quest with sexy, poignant, and sometimes hilarious results. Is each woman’s sexual I.O.U. paid in full? Will everyone get what he or she deserves? Or is this just another one of Kiki’s crazy ideas? I.O.U. SEX is available as an eBook on Amazon. In addition to Kindle, the book can be read on your personal computer, Mac, iPad, iPhone, or other device. For more information, visit our blog: www.iousex.blogspot.com To order, click on this link: http://www.amazon.com/I-O-U-Sex-ebook/dp/B004CFAPA4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1294009681&sr=8-1PS: The book’s not as risqué as the title might suggest!

Good news for Dotsie and others who are not Kindle owners - Ronda Del Boccio mentioned on our teleseminar last night that you DO NOT need to have a Kindle in order to read a book that's on Kindle. There are free Kindle apps you can download from Amazon and then you can read a Kindle book without actually owning a Kindle. I just Googled about this and came up with this page, which shows you can get a Kindle app for MANY devices including: * iPhone * Windows PC * Mac * BlackBerry * iPad * Android * Windows Phone 7 Here's the link: Free Reading Apps for Kindle My mother has a Kindle, and she finds it so much easier to read than a traditional book, now that she has arthritis in her hands. And you DO still have something to hold in your hands, Dotsie, it's whatever device you're using...I know, not the same, but maybe progress... I think the tipping point happened in 2010 and we are going to see more and more ebooks, and lose the image that they aren't quite as "good" as traditional books.

I got my kindle for Christmas and absolutely love it. To have something I can throw in my purse and always have my crossword puzzles, 3 different books as well as access to facebook and weather (I have the 3G one) with me in one small package is so easy and convenient. It hasn't yet cost me a fortune in downloaded books. There are so many free books available I've only paid for one and it was 5 bucks online but 12 in the store! The only problem, I've enjoyed it so much now I have myself convinced I need other fancy tech things like a smart phone or Ipad. The reality is they are only toys, unneeded, just amusing.

Thanks for the kind words. We do hope to publish the book as a paperback in the future, but I'm not sure when that will happen. In the meantime, it can be read on PCs, Macs, iPads, etc., as well as Kindle.

Kindle has a new deal where eBooks can be shared. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but it might be worth looking into for your husband.
Amazon says: Eligible Kindle books can be loaned once for a period of 14 days. The borrower does not need to own a Kindle -- Kindle books can also be read using our free Kindle reading applications for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, BlackBerry, and Android devices. Not all books are lendable -- it is up to the publisher or rights holder to determine which titles are eligible for lending.

Your book sounds like great fun, Sandy. I hope it's gets into my library when you publish tradionally. I don't have a Kindle, a cell phone, a blackberry or any of the toys mentioned. And I can't sit at my computer long enough to read a book. Best of luck. I know it will get to me one day.
