I have been informed that amazon.com, due to lack of "activity," will no longer carry Rainbow Arc of Fire volumes in paperback editions.
Obviously, with ongoing and ever increasing sales of Kindle editions of the Rainbow Arc of Fire series on amazon, those will continue to be available for purchase or for free downloading--see amazon.com for details.
For those of you who would like to have paperback editions of the first eight volumes depicted above, send me a note with your name and address and, as I have time, and with the continued availability of paperback copies, I will attempt to mail out complete sets for free, as long as supplies last. The first volume in the series, A MILE HIGH SAGA, is already becoming scarce in paperback. (Amazon.com actually has two copies still available, but they will destroy any remaining copies of the series that they have in stock before the end of this month.)
For those of you who prefer Kindle editions of the entire series, including volumes nine and ten which are Kindle exclusives, they will continue to be available at amazon.com. It is the digital download age, and I saw this coming for some time now. Most Kindle editions are second editions, as a matter of record.
I may, at some point, covert the series to print-on-demand editions, as well, but that will take some time to accomplish.
For those hundreds of you over the years who bought the series in paperback in bookstores all over the nation, as well as through amazon.com--and there are quite a few of you out there--I thank you for your support. For those of you who bought your copies through gay and independent bookstores, I especially appreciate that support.
Gay and lesbian independent bookstores were the reason why I wrote the series in the first place. They were an integral part of our culture and our community. I always enjoyed holding book signings around the country, specifically at Category Six Books here in Denver until they closed. A significant part of our recent heritage vanished when these stores closed. Only a very few, if any, still exist. Most of the stores where I held book signings are long gone.
It's time to move on. We have to realize that it is not important how someone reads a book these days; it's that he or she continues to read.
Again, I thank all of you for your support over the years. Let me know if you want copies mailed to you, and I will do what I can to send them out as I am able.
