The Melanie Chronicles is now availabe in paperback!
So now it’s official: the print version of The Melanie Chronicles is live on Amazon. You can find it here and it’s only $3.99 + shipping. A few people asked me why I was doing a print version when it’s already available as an e-book. Well, not everyone has or wants an e-reader. My mother is one of those people. She isn’t interested in e-readers at all–despite all my efforts to convince her of the joy that is Kindle. When I was in Philadelphia in February, we had a conversation that went something like this…
Me: Mom, I’ve published my collection of short stories now.
Mom: Oh, good! Where is it?
Me: It’s an e-book, so it’s on my Kindle. (Show my mother the ebook.)
Mom: But where’s the book?
Me: On the Kindle. See? Right there… (Show her the cover, etc on the Kindle.)
Mom: That’s so nice, honey, but I want a real book. Can’t you print one for me? You know I don’t like these techno-thingies.
I should also add that my mother doesn’t read the email I send her unless I call her first and tell her I’ve sent her an email. She’s not very into computers. She won’t even buy anything online if she can help it.
Anyway, several of my friends have also said they want to read my book but don’t have an e-reader and don’t like reading books on their computers. Plus, I am one of those people who loves my e-reader but still loves the thrill I get from having print books.
So for any of you who are like me and still like print books or if you’re like my mom and you don’t like techno-thingies, the wait is over–the book is now officially live on amazon.com. You can also order it from my CreateSpace mini-store.
That’s it for now! I am trying to finish A Little Night Music and Another Cup of Love, plus the revision/editing of Snowbound so you can have even more from me to read.

Linger: a short story available for free on Amazon 11-13 January, starting Midnight PST
I'm trying something new. I've never done a free promotion on Amazon before, but I figured I'd try it out this weekend.
Back in November I published a Kindle-only short story called "Linger". Starting today at midnight Pacific Standard Time, it will be available for free. The free promotion will end on Sunday 13 January at 11:59 PST.
So if you haven't read The Melanie Chronicles or haven't already purchased Linger and you want a taste of what I write, this is your chance to try it for free.

Hope you enjoy it!
