In response to some reader comments I'm trying an experiment with a POD (print on demand) edition of The First Suitor. An Amazon subsidiary known as CreateSpace will print a copy on demand according to my specifications and sell it for $8.99 USD plus applicable tax and shipping. That's the best I can do price wise to get paperbacks back into the hands of those who still insist on paper and haven't totally adapted to the e-book age that is inevitably approaching us all. This way there's no upfront cost to me and no stockpile of books somewhere that have to be sold. If zero books sell no one is out anything and if they do sell I may put other titles into paperback using the same method. It is a lot of work to reformat the book to CreateSpace specifications and make the cover match the digital version as close as possible, which is why I'm only doing this one title for now. It is in the cover art proof stage at present, but I hope to have it available through Amazon this month. It will say Second edition, but that is only because it was assigned a new ISBN through CreateSpace with First Suitor Enterprises as publisher to distinquish it in Bowker's - Books in Print, from the edition published by Wing ePress. However, there are no substantive changes. Happy reading.

P.S. Small Town Doctor is now free on KOBO.

    My writing style is a mix of suspense and mystery with a little romance intertwined.   All of my books are based on real places and in some cases on real events, although the places and events are fictionalized.
