Thanks, John. I left a comment for you over on Amazon before I saw this, but all the books will be out in both e- and paper just as soon as we can get them thru the process. We're looking at releasing two of the Solar Clipper books a year with Tales from the Lammas Wood interspersed for a total of three books in paper until I run out of words. Given that I'm now a full time writer, that should take awhile :)

Just found out these are on audio.. really want them on my kindle and paper.. Nathan thanks ! You may not agree with my comparing your work with the Solar Queen and Rolling Stone but I mean it strictly as a compliment .. I loved those books so.. See below my Amazon review asking for faster release A Comfort and Joy of a Book !, July 2, 2010 By John M. Kellum (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Quarter Share (Solar Clipper Trader Tales) (Kindle Edition) I have just finished my iPad kindle version of Quarter Share and could not have been more pleased with my new "friends" of the crew of the Solar Clipper. It's so refreshing to read a book where the fate of the universe is not at stake at least couple times in a few hundred pages or massive space battles are taking place every other chapter. Instead, you get to read about people who while no more ordinary than everyone of us strongly engages you in their growth as people and family. Yes, Ish hits the ground running fast but he's believable from the first page and since most of us know such people are hope we are such people he immediately attracts. To be compared to the crew of the Solar Queen or the Rolling Stone is no bad thing and seems inevitable. Truth told, the Solar Clipper is in many way better than the last couple of Solar Queen volumes and feels almost as much a fun close family as the ole Stone's. My only disappointment with the book was to see at least five other "Trader's Tales" listed in the back of Quarter Share which I assume are not completed yet. If there were I would buy them all immediately. I believe with biotech coming the universe three hundred years from now will look far different than the Trader tales suggest but perhaps we'll still have Cookies and flea markets. The Retro Future feels just fine and you should give it a try. Thanks Nathan you've given me much too look forward to .. hurry and write a couple more before Christmas..chuckle Why no voting buttons?

It'll take time for them to get edited. As it is, we've still got typos in QS and that's after eight passes. Thanks. They're all coming. Read slower :D
