@Laura Kinsale: Thanks, Laura! Good to know. I just may have to download that one and head out to the hammock with my truly old Sony 505. Pat

@Patricia Ryan/P.B. Ryan: That's excellent news re: Roberta Gellis' Rosalynde Chronicles! Thanks for letting us know. @Laura Kinsale: Laura, thanks for stopping by. I'll definitely keep an eye out for those ebooks as a couple of them are ones which were already out-of-print when I discovered your work.

Hi, Pat! Flowers from the Storm is available in a digital edition.

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Flowers-from-the-Storm/Laura-Kinsale/e/9780061365539

Amazon also has it.

Most of my books are available as e-books, except four. I just got the rights back for For My Lady’s Heart, The Dream Hunter, My Sweet Folly and Shadowheart. I will be issuing these as e-books but I am not rushing into this because things are literally changing as we speak in terms of digital publishing and I want to make a good decision about how I go about this.

Readers can go to my website and click on the books link. I have links to both digital and print editions of each of my books.

Thanks for the mention!

Roberta tells me she’ll be releasing the Rosalynde Chronicles through Cerridwen, and that they’ll be out in about a year–but I’m not sure whether she ment the POD version would be out then and the electronic sooner (which would make sense), so I asked her to clarify. She regrets that publishing with Cerridwen means the books will be $7.99, but she said all the technical hoo-hah involved in self-publishing is daunting, and I can certainly understand that.

Released in ebook over here is what I meant.

I would like to see any bloomin release that hasn’t been picked up by Aussie publishers released over here! I won’t list the titles, authors, as I would be here all day, as it is the majority of mainstream romance. LOL

@Patricia Ryan/P.B. Ryan: 'Flowers in the Storm' is one I was able to get my hands on. Patricia Gaffney's Wyckerly trilogy was already out-of-print when I first heard of 'To Have and to Hold'. Hopefully, it will be reissued one day, either digitally or in print. I wish there was a site where a bunch of authors could advertise the digital release of their backlist titles. I only stumbled upon yours by chance and recognised the name from when I'd asked for mystery recommendations a few months ago. Then Keishon (Avid Book Reader) found a few by Theresa Weir, and so on.

@Sarah: If you haven't read Flowers From the Storm, get your hands on a copy asap! The hero is a typical arrogant, rakish, sexy as hell nobleman who's got the world by the lapels--until he has a stroke! I loves me some wounded heros, and he's one of the best I've ever read.

@Patricia Ryan/P.B. Ryan: Thank you! There are so many OOP books I'd love to read. I only started buying US-published romances when I began shopping at Amazon. There are a number of genre classics from the 80s and 90s that I missed.

I just sent Roberta Gellis a link to this blog. She told me recently that she wants to get the Roselynde Chronicles e-published; she just needs to figure out which route to employ. Meanwhile, I’m delighted that Laura Leone/Resnick is going to be reissuing her romances. An early Silhouette Desire of hers called The Black Sheep is what convinced me to write category romance. After I sold that first one to Harlequin Temptation, my editor changed the title–to The Return of the Black Sheep! How perfect is that?

I would also like to see Anne Stuart’s dark romances and Pat Gaffney’s Wyckerly trilogy available as ebooks. Also Laura Kinsale’s Flowers from the Storm.
