I am so excited to hear from you again. You ...Jeff! I am so excited to hear from you again. You have the very old self-published version from back in 2002. I was picked up by Splashdown Books in 2010. The newer version has a different cover (as you've seen) and was revised and edited a little before it was re-released. And yes, the rest of the series is finished and up for sale in ebook and paperback.<br /><br />So excited to reconnect with an old "fan"! Thanks for the comment and the twitter follow. I'm following you back. :)Caprice Hokstadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10625997639466258510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8727906069426861003.post-25289875256292477392012-07-28T10:42:05.079-07:002012-07-28T10:42:05.079-07:00Caprice, I finally found you. :) Your book title a...Caprice, I finally found you. :) Your book title and name caught my eye as I was scanning the "Flurries of Words" blog post feed and I had to track you down. Congrats on all your progress and the excellent reviews!<br /><br />I downloaded The Duke's Handmaid from Amazon a short while ago. Now I have an eBook version *and* an autographed paperback. I'm all smiles today. Drop by my blog or shoot me an email and say "Hi!" I'm at <a href="http://strandsofpattern.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://strandsofpattern.blogspot.com/</a>.

I also LIKE the backlighting because it means I don't have to hunt down another reading light. I often choose the computer over the Kindle just because I don't have to HOLD my computer. LOL One finger on the mouse to scroll down every few seconds and that's it. It's gotten to where I get downright grumpy if a book is cheaper as paperback (or *gasp* not available as ebook) because I am really starting to hate paper books now. I hate scrounging up reading glasses, holding heavy books while reading, and then storing books when done. I would be a huge advocate for eBooks even if I wasn't an author.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment, Kristen!Caprice Hokstadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10625997639466258510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8727906069426861003.post-4397630411238903992012-07-23T07:51:25.305-07:002012-07-23T07:51:25.305-07:00So true.

And the best part about e-books is that shelf space (a limited commodity in my house) is no longer a factor in my buying decisions.Kristen Stieffelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06716097889143393543noreply@blogger.com
