Joyce Faulkner has been writing and winning awards since she was 15 years old. Her background also includes a career in engineering. She’s written for a variety of magazines — from technical to literary. Her book For Shrieking Out Loud is a compilation of her column with Celebrity Café.com “The Weekly Shriek.” She’s currently the President of Military Writers Society of America and the editor of MWSA Dispatches Magazine. She’s an author and ghostwriter.

Joyce Faulkner’s books move and intrigue — and are flat-out fun to read. Writing in a variety of genres, her stories focus on the complexities of life — those things that make one think. They can scare the pants off of you — and then make you laugh. They make you cry and they make you wonder why things are the way they are. She tells the stories that others can’t tell for themselves.

• There are three main types of eBook formats -- mobi, epub and pdf.
• There are many devices that read one or the other of those formats as well as apps for computers and tablets.
• For the purposes of an eBook, a pdf is an electronic presentation of a print book's layout. There are many eBook readers out there that will allow you to read a pdf - including Acrobat Reader, Kindle, and Nook. However, it is the least flexible for the audience.
• Mobi and ePub eBooks are essentially websites inside a "wrapper" which the various devices can display. This means that they use html, css, java, and other languages.
• Mobi is the descendant of one of the earliest eBook formats which used a subset of the standard html library. Amazon purchased that company and modified the software to create books for Kindle readers.
• You can create Kindle books from authoring tools like Scrivener or by installing an Amazon plug in to layout software like Adobe inDesign or by creating a Word file and submitting it to Amazon (they will translate it to Kindle for you). Or you can use services like Smashwords.com.
• The other eBook format is ePub which Sony, Nook, Kobo, and other devices read. You can also create them with Scrivener, Adobe inDesign, and services like Smashwords.com.

• There are two versions of ePub -- one is the familiar free flow where the reader defines how he wants to see your book with settings on his device or app. The other is the fixed format ePub where the reader sees the book as the designer intends.
• A special form of the fixed format ePub is the new iBook from Apple. These books include interactive elements, audio, and video. 
• The new versions of the traditional formats and ever-growing options for book presentation will fundamentally change storytelling.
• In the past, eBooks were adaptations of books developed, written, and formatted for print.
• Now, authors can write books that take advantage of all of the new tools from the moment an idea emerges.
