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.

The President's Henchman, the first book in my Jim McGill series, just reached 1,200 Amazon reader reviews. For indie authors/publishers, favorable reader reviews are critical to success. 

So to all of you who have helped the cause, please accept my heartfelt thanks. If you've read and enjoyed the book, but haven't yet posted a review, please do. A review can be as brief and as to the point as you like. If you prefer to be expansive, so much the better. 

As always, please be sure to tell family and friends that TPH in ebook edition is available to them for FREE. Thanks for your interest and your help.
