If this doesn't make you old bookworms feel ancient, nothing will.

“They don’t read works by professional writers because their sentences are too difficult to understand, their expressions are intentionally wordy, and the stories are not familiar to them,” she said. “On other hand, I understand how older Japanese don’t want to recognize these as novels. The paragraphs and the sentences are too simple, the stories are too predictable. But I’d like cellphone novels to be recognized as a genre.”

1st iPhone 3G novel

I’m a Canadian author who’s taking cell phone novels to a whole new level. I’m not only writing my next novel on the new iPhone 3G (using the Notes app), I have a character in the novel who uses an iPhone.

I’m an established author with 3 bestsellers available, a 4th with my agent in New York and a fifth nearly finished. Then I’ll be able to focus on ‘Finding Bliss’, the first novel written on an iPhone 3G using Notes.

My novel will be written in my own style, not in cell phone lingo. It won’t read the same way as the Japanese cell phone novels; it’ll be more current.

I expect that Finding Bliss will come out in book form and hopefully e-book as well. I’d also like to see it as a downloadable application on the iPhone and any other cell phone.

My story has been in the news in Canada a lot this past week–TV, radio, newspapers and online. I’m looking forward to doing something different and exciting.

P.S. I am always open to interviews.
