Because of a change in direction at Trident Media Group (my partner publisher) my novel Land Of Promise, will only be published a short while longer in trade paperback by Amazon.com, at just $11.99 per copy. The last day of the sale (and of Amazon Print on Demand ordering capability) will be July 12, 2024. Thereafter, it may only be available as an e-book. I will try to get it back in print within a few months, but I can’t make any promises. So order your copy (or copies) soon!
