'Season's Revenge' online at last

Season's Revenge, the 2003 novel that was the first in my Steve Martinez mystery series, has finally joined Cache of Corpses and A Venture into Murder on Kindles and Nooks.

Pretty soon it'll be available along with the others in the series, for iPads, iPhones, iPod Touches, Sony Readers and other e-book appliances, as soon as Smashwords (the big e-book clearinghouse and publisher) gets it out to the vendors.

By the way, Char Searl, my old colleague on the Chicago Sun-Times who, among other things, designed layouts and provided art for the book section I edited, did the illustration of the slavering bear on the cover.

Now I can get away from the computer and do something else for a change -- such as button up the Writer's Lair for the winter. The leaves have changed, the wind is blowing and the surf's up on Lake Superior.
