- 09-06 (Technical) --- All eBook listings have been restored for both Barns & Noble and Kobo. Yahoo! Amazon, unfortunately, is still experiencing difficulties for both No Tears (Northern Company) & No Tears (Inheritance). I received an email today from my publisher detailing the problems with Amazon at the moment; unfortunately, there is no estimated timeframe to fix the issue. With that said, however, you can still get A Story of the Beginning (Revised Edition) via Amazon. As usual, you can also get both paperbacks and eBook files of all my books via www.lulu.com (author book list page). EPUB files via Lulu transfer seamlessly to a Kindle from my own personal experience (I have a Kindle, 8th Generation).
- 09-04 (Book) --- I went back and added a chapter to Part I, helping to flush out a chapter in Part II of No Tears (Reckoning). Reading the two chapters in question now, the Part II chapter sounds and reads so much better. With that said, I am 3 chapters away from finishing Part II in No Tears (Reckoning)!!! August went by relative quickly, considering my Part II's are typically heavy in the second act of the story, having to both finalize Part I story aspects and set up events for the final Part III act.

- 08-04 (Book) --- I have finished Part I of No Tears (Reckoning) and have started on Part II (in earnest this time). I "started" Part II earlier in the summer, but I was not entirely pleased with the second half of Part I and kept flushing the characters and story out more. I believe I have finally reached a happy middle ground with Part I and can move on to Part II.

All books are still available through Lulu in both paperback and eBook formats.
