Local Author Goes Digital - ScoopSanDiego.com | Mission Valley News: Local News: entertainment_culture, deborah serra, san diego, writer, local author: "Local author Deborah Serra recently released her new novel Primal exclusively as an e-book. This story was once adapted as a screenplay, and actually purchased as such by Hollywood director James Cameron. After Cameron decided to write his own screenplays, he gave Serra the rights back so she could market it as a novel. Serra sees going digital as a smart marketing move as well as a sign of the times. “When it comes to people who really love to read, the appetite is insatiable and they eat up stories by the week,” she said. “It makes sense for those readers to gravitate towards e-books since they want to read the story and move on. Then you don’t accumulate a ton of read books. It’s not the death of hard-copy books, because as for reference or history books, having a hard-copy version to go back to makes good sense.
