In answer to some readers' questions:
I've made The President's Henchman available for free on four platforms: Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Nook, but all my other ebooks are available only on Amazon. The reason for this is simple: That's how I make the most revenue. I'm pretty sure, though, that you can get a Kindle app for just about any electronic device, maybe even your microwave oven.
Regarding audio books: I just don't do them because the overhead is too high and the royalties are too low, from my POV. When you do an audio book — I had one done when I was published by Bantam Books — you need to hire "talent," i.e. an actor to read your book; you have to pay for recording studio time; you need a recording engineer; and it's not a bad idea to hire a producer, too, to make sure the whole thing comes together. All that gets expensive fast.
