Jayne liked an answer from D.B. Borton: GREAT news about the reprint of the series. Can you tell me if the whole series will be made available on Kindle? I see that One for the Money has a Dec. 1 release date so I'd love to get the series on Kindle! The first four books in the series will be available on Kindle Dec. 1st, both individually and in a box set: ONE FOR THE MONEY, TWO-SHOUT FOUL, THREE-RING CIRCUS, and FOUR ELEMENTS OF MURDER. Thanks for reading! D.B. Borton

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune
