Author Victor Grauer has written Sounding the Depths, a very interesting looking enhanced ebook that has been unable to find a traditional publisher. Victor tells me he is looking into possibly self-publishing at the Kindle Store, but in the meantime his book is available to read on his blog.
A brief description of Sounding the Depths by Victor Grauer:
Inspired by many years of research on world music, and drawing upon dramatic new developments in genetic anthropology and archaeology, this book will take the reader "on a journey through some of the deepest recesses of human culture and history, suggesting solutions to mysteries that, until recently, were thought to be completely beyond the reach of systematic investigation."
Sounding the Depths may be the first truly interactive book ever published. Thanks to the blog format, musical examples and video clips will be easily accessible via Internet links, and readers will be able to post comments on a chapter by chapter basis, offering their thoughts and any suggestions for improvement that may come to mind. I will try to respond to all comments and will seriously consider making revisions on the basis of valid criticisms, corrections or other suggestions."

What I’ve been reading lately.
Lately I’ve been exploring the work of China Miéville. Miéville is an amazing writer who has won a number of awards. Most of his books (I have not read all yet) seem to fall into the Urban Fantasy category; all are very complex and give you plenty to ponder. If you don’t like fantasy or sci-fi you might try The City and The City, which reads like a hardboiled detective story set in a rather bizarre city.
I’m also reading Here on Earth: A Natural History of the Planet by Tim Flannery. I’m actually reading an enhanced version on the iPad that was sent me by the app developer, Arcade Sunshine Media, LLC., to review. I have not finished this one yet, but so far I am quite happy with the manner in which the multimedia content is integrated into the book. As to the book itself, so far it seems less about the natural history of our planet and more about Lovelock’s Gaia Hypothesis. An interesting read nonetheless.
Recently I read Room: A Novel by Emma Donoghue. Briefly, this is the story of a five year old boy and his mother who are held captive in an eleven foot square room by the man who kidnapped the mother. The boy was born in Room and it pretty much comprises his whole world.
Before starting this book I mentioned it to a friend with whom I frequently discuss books. She gave a shudder and told me it sounded too disturbing for her to read. I read all sorts of things and am not myself easily put off, but I too have to admit to feeling some trepidation upon embarking on this particular dark journey.
After reading the book I can say that it is very good. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but suffice it to say that it is worth overcoming any hesitation you might feel about reading this book as it is a rewarding read.

The King of Lies by John Hart (4 stars/146 reviews) has been reduced to $2.99 at the Kindle Store, Barnes & Noble and Kobofor a limited time. This edition of the thriller also includes an excerpt from the author’s newest book, Iron House, which will be released on July 12.
Overview of The King of Lies:
John Hart creates a literary thriller that is as suspenseful as it is poignant, a riveting murder mystery layered beneath the southern drawl of a humble North Carolina lawyer. When Work Pickens finds his father murdered, the investigation pushes a repressed family history to the surface and he sees his own carefully constructed façade begin to crack.
Work’s troubled sister, her combative girlfriend, his gold digging socialite wife, and an unrequited lifelong love join a cast of small town characters that create no shortage of drama in this extraordinary, fast-paced suspense novel.
Hart’s mastery of prose and plot belie his newcomer status as he explores the true heart of a man. An illuminating anatomy of a murder and the ripple effect it produces within a family and a community, The King of Lies is a stunning debut.

Choice of Games has a new interactive novel, Choice of the Vampire, that has been released for the Kindle. From the same publisher as the well-reviewed Choice of Broadsides and Choice of the Dragon. $2.99.
At more than 160,000 words, “Choice of the Vampire” is one of the longest works ever written in the “choose your own adventure” style, allowing players to choose their gender, sexual orientation, ethnic background, and feeding habits.
Play as a young vampire, from the Battle of New Orleans in 1815 through the end of the Civil War in 1866. You’ll meet (and possibly feed from) Andrew Jackson, Marie Laveau and Jefferson Davis along the way. Struggling to increase your standing among elder vampires, you must balance an insatiable thirst for blood against your dwindling vestiges of humanity. Will you choose the winning side of the Civil War? Will you rule the German coast with an iron fist? Will you find a love that can transcend death itself?
