The surprising success of N.Y. Knicks' guard Jeremy Lin has become one of the year's best sports/human interest stories -- and e-book authors are rushing to cash in on it.
Lin, an Asian-American who graduated from Harvard, wasn't drafted by an NBA team and was cut by two teams before finding a spot far down the Knicks' bench. Injuries to other players gave him a chance to start, and he has been phenomenal ever since (except for Thursday's disaster against the Miami Heat).
Whenever there's a good story, publishers won't be far behind. And the advent of e-books has made it much easier for authors to cash in. I imaginesome of these writers pounding away on their laptops at halftime of a Knicks game, and wrapping it up by the time the final buzzer sounds.
