I know that some of my readers prefer paper books over ebooks. And there is something special about holding a book in my hands, turning it over to see the back cover, and turning the pages to read it. Maybe my enjoyment of the physical form is just because that’s what I grew up with, but it’s real. Of course, I must plead guilty to reading a lot of ebooks: super convenient for when I’m waiting in a doctor’s office or ferrying my child to soccer practice, etc. Plus ebooks don’t break my budget.
This post, however, is for the paper lovers among us. Several of my readers ask me at intervals if I have any new paper releases. I thought it might be helpful to list all of my books that do have paper editions. As I type this, I have ten stories in paperback. Ten! That amazes me. 😀
Here’s the list:
Troll-magic
Accursed Prince Kellor wrestles with the daunting challenges of his north-bear form. A childhood friend holds the key to his escape. But charming Elle will be no easy task. She faces her own engrossing dilemmas. Can she realize her musical promise and unravel Kellor’s curse? In epic adventure across a stunning landscape, the two engage a potent enemy in a lethal battle of wills.
Fighting against a nightmare pales beside fighting for a dream.
