My three Catholic novels ( Castle of Heavenly Bliss, In This Vale of Tears, Seeking the Divine Spark: A Satire in the Style of Evelyn) are now available from www.amazon.com in 2011 Kindle ebook editions at $3.95 each.

Amazon has recently announced that they now sell slightly more Kindle ebook editions than traditional hard copies. They were expecting orders for "millions" of Kindle ebook readers for Christmas 2011.

My novels would make inexpensive presents for those who want to give something unambiguously Catholic to read.
