E-Crazy!

E-Book Readers, Unite!

I've been in e-mode for four weeks now, uploading my older, never-before-released and/or out-of-print books to kindle. It's been a blast. I have quite a few to go, but this is my list so far. I'm also listing the current prices. Many were at "free" status for a while, but amazon only lets that go on for five days. At any rate, I've listed them at low/competitive prices and hope my readers will take advantage of that! Here's the list!
