Devil's Cape now on Kindle

I've gotten a number of requests over the past year or so to make Devil's Cape available as an e-book, so I'm pleased to announce that it's now available through Amazon on Kindle. That means it's available for Kindle readers, of course, but it's also viewable through any device using the Kindle application—including PCs, iPads, iPhones, etc. I've got it fired up on my own iPhone, as a matter of
