E-books are wonderful : Electronic publishing means that readers can still have access to the out-of-print books by their favourite authors.   All my titles with Regency Reads were previously published by Robert Hale Limited, and are now out of print (although copies may still be available via second-hand bookshops or the internet - and of course you can still find copies at your local UK library). 
 
The only exception to the above is Moonshadows, which was published first as an e-book before being published in a print version by Samhain Publishing.
 
Moonshadows is a Melinda Hammond story with a slight difference:  a Georgian love story overlaid with a modern day romance. find out all the details here
it is my first origina e-book and I have given it a page all to itself! Click here to read  more.
