Christina Lamb ( Sunday Times, April 25 2005) When I stepped off the Ryanair plane in the medieval town of Pau in the French Pyrenees almost two years ago to interview the multi-million-selling author Paulo Coelho, the last thing I expected was to end up as the heroine in his next book.

We've noted in the past the various stories of individual authors like Paulo Coelho and David Pogue , who showed that free (non-DRM'd) versions of their ebooks helped increase physical book sales. Then, in February, we wrote about some actual research that showed that when unauthorized ebooks get out into the wild, there is a "significant jump in sales" of the physical book. And, now there's...

"When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not ready. The challenge will not wait. Carpe diem. Seize the moment." Paulo Coelho
On the 1st day of this new year, Paulo Coelho posted something in his blog, he does this daily, but this time it was no ordinary post. Not that any of Paulo’s posts could ever be considered to be ordinary, but this post was a real challenge, a Quest for a Sword given to him [...]
