Lawrence Friedman’s Mystery An Unnatural Death Takes Lawyer Frank May Into May and December

One of those clients is the estate of the late Harriet Wingate. Harriet had money, and that always makes for interested relatives. But a bizarre husband Harriet’s junior, by a half-century?

You do not need a Kindle to read our books
Read the five ways our ebooks are read by anyone whether or not they own the actual Kindle device. Plus we have PDF and rtf anyway, and paperbacks. So digital books should not scare the non-Amazon readers. Even Kindle apps for various devices are free and do not in any way require your owning a Kindle itself. Amazon just wants to sell the books, and we do too.

We do paper editions too
Although we specialize in quality digital publishing, we are happy to produce and sell internationally your work in paperback form, through traditional sales as well as digital. Existing print books that have shown the market sustains print sales, for example, should be published in both forms. And we can work with your traditional publisher to give you a digital option, or publish a quality paperback ourselves. Keep your options open.

Submit your dissertation, get it out there, still publish traditionally if you want
Keep your options open but make your dissertation available and get it read and cited. All while you may still work it into a newer edition for submission to traditional publishers. Unlike some digital dissertation sites that are no more than vanit-epresses, your book will be sold on Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble and other traditional sites, in a quality active format, not sitting on an obscure website as a static PDF waiting for happenstance downloads. Plus our royalty rate is better. Find out more at this blog post.
