In other news, I've re-released Covenant, the first installment of my six-volume Deviations series, as a free download. Details and download link here:

Covenant was originally published by Aisling Press in 2007. The sequel, Appetite, was to be released last September.

Downloads of the second edition (ISBN 978-0-9819764-0-2, distribution allowed, all other rights reserved) are available in formats compatible with Kindle, Microsoft Reader, Palm and other PDAs, and Sony Reader, plus .pdf and HTML files that can be read on a browser. I plan to post Appetite before the summer.
