Thanks. In January I'll be launching the anniversary edition of the books of the Montbryce Legacy with new scenes, new covers, etc. Unfortunately, it will be a month or two before the paperbacks are available. The original pbacks of the series are still on Amazon and other retailers though. Enjoy the holiday season.

I agree. I'm just now getting into Goodreads-learning little by little! Did you start a Q&A group? Just wondering if it's effective.
