Sorry to
all for the turtle-like pace of my web updates! At long last, I’ve
bitten a couple of bullets (they were tasty) and have headed into
self-publishing to get my two private eye novels out. First, I’ve
published both THE RAPE OF GANYMEDE and THE FALL OF LUCIFER on Amazon.com’s
Kindle digital text platform so both are now available as downloads to your
Kindle device (US only, I think). I will soon be revamping and updating my
web site completely.
I have also
published THE
RAPE OF GANYMEDE via CreateSpace.com’s site, which will soon enable
it to be available for purchase on Amazon.com. Stay tuned for the link and
update on availability. I will
also soon publish THE FALL OF LUCIFER as well. Both are published under my own
imprint Éditions
Cuir Noir – web site currently under development. Stay tuned …
