Our E-Books

Like many other writers, we have begun to publish books in electronic formats that can be read on line or downloaded for reading on Kindle, Sony Reader, the newer Palm Readers and most other hand held devices designed for e-books. They may also be downloaded for reading in PDF format. These early titles will be augmented with others as the publishing industry continues its historic shift to digital publishing.

Electronic versions of the titles below allow downloads or reading on line but are not formatted for particular readers.
