Thanks
so much for visiting my new, improved website. Here, you'll find more than you
ever wanted to know about the novels and novellas I've published over the past
fifteen years (27 so far, with the 28th currently in progress). MY BIG NEWS,
which I'm very excited about, is that a dozen of my historical mysteries and
medieval romances have just come out as ebooks, which can be read online or
easily downloaded into your computer, ebook reader, or smart phone. They're available from several different sources, with more coming soon:
SMASHWORDS gives you
the option of reading the books in just about every known format: EPUB
(for the Sony Reader, B&N Nook, Stanza & others), MOBI (for the
Kindle), PDF (for printing or reading on your computer), PDB (for Palm), RTF
(readable on any word processor), HTML & Javascript (for reading online),
and Plain Text for downloading or reading online. You can also download a free
application to enable you to read them on your iPad or iPhone.
AMAZON
sells them as Kindle Books, of course--but you can read them even without a
Kindle by downloading a free
Kindle application that lets you enjoy their zillions of Kindle titles on
your Windows PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, or Android.
Apple's iBookstore (no link for that, because you can only to access it from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod) is carrying my Nell Sweeney historical mystery series, and I expect that they'll soon be offering the medieval romances as well.
I'm delighted to be able to offer these popular out of print books
to my readers who've been emailing me for years, asking how they can get copies
of them. (Now you can finally read the first Nell Sweeney mystery without
paying the wacko prices that are being asked for used copies. $145 for a mass
market paperback? Really??) If you've never read my books and would like to try
one on for size, an ebook is a great, inexpensive way to do that.

And if you've never read an ebook, I can't recommend them
highly enough. They're easy to download and comfortable to read
because you can adjust the size of the text. And if you're used to traveling
with a stack of books, as I am, it's awesome to be able to carry literally hundreds of titles in a device you can slip right into
your pocket or purse. (Though I often just read them off my laptop.)

P.S. Readers email me regularly about the cat in my publicity photo. Yes, Nimbus belongs to me, although if you ask her, it's the other way around. I'm often asked whether she's a Russian Blue. She was born in a stable to a black barn cat, but in appearance and temperament she's so quintessentially Russian Blue that we suspect she was sired by one. Whether I'm writing in my office, the back porch (my summer office), or the living room couch, she's never far away. In fact, I've learned to type with her draped luxuriously across my arms.
