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 …
