Co-founder of Select A Story Interview starts at 8:33 and ends at 33:40 “An interactive story is essentially a series of interlocking short stories. I think a lot of authors kind of forget about that, and they end up writing a story where at the end of it, it’s like ‘Okay, you saw a spaceship, and then you thought to call the police and then you decided whether you should call your friend, and then you decided whether you should take a picture and put it on Instagram and then you went on the spaceship and you met the aliens, and it was fine. The end.’ Well, yeah, you had a number of choices, but they were all very similar to one another and that is not a story that anyone would write by itself.” Tech Tip Find your annotations at read.amazon.com/notebook Interview with Katie Ernst Select a Story website Select a Story skill for Alexa Cinder/Charming (Select a Story Book 1) Kindle format “The Magic Door,” an Alexa-powered interactive adventure with original stories “Alexa Skills Challenge Offers $250,000 in Prizes for Best Kid Skills” at Amazon Alexa blog - October 25, 2017 Content Ricochet Joe by Dean Koontz Comments Fintie Folio Case for 9th Generation (7-inch) Kindle Oasis - $16.99 News Amazon press release on holiday sales “Amazon’s Alexa Won Christmas This Year” by Steve Kovach at Business Insider - December 26, 2017 Music for my podcast is from an original Thelonius Monk composition named "Well, You Needn't."
