A Digitally Novel Idea

I received an email recently from an anonymous author about his upcoming book project.  I thought I would share this with you in case you are interested.
Because of a contractual disagreement with my publisher over royalties for previous works, I've made the (crazy?) decision to self publish my next novel anonymously at www.LegendOfWolfboy.com. I'm excited about publishing in this format because there will be no restrictions from the publishing house, it'll allow readers to interact with one another, offer feedback on each chapter and even contribute to the storyline/character development as it's being written.
Here is the press release about this decision.  It's not entirely clear what this book will be about but it starts in Northern California and obviously has a "wolfboy" character.  I think even if the story doesn't come together the way the author is hoping, I think it will be an interesting project to follow for its use of the internet and social groups.

Thinking about writing a tiny bit of a book,
K
