I do love YA books but am constantly surprised at how few of them are in ebook format. As a teen, I would have been all over the ebooks, furtively reading them on my cell phone in biology class (if I had taken biology).

Hi Jayne,

No e-books as yet, unfortunately.

Our website is still in development and not likely to be up until the fall. As for Amazon, it’s called Amazon Connect and you’ll see it at the bottom of the page for any of any of our novels. There’s a profile of us and our first blog entry.

Thanks again,
Sandy

Hi Sandy, good to hear from you again. I found a sort of chat posts site at Amazon but no blog. Or was this the blog? Anyway, I Googled and Yahooed you both looking for a website or some way to contact you and let you know about the review. But obviously you have your sources!

Are any of your books going to be released in ebook form? My blogging partner Jane just loves YA books but getting her to read print books now is like pulling teeth.

Hi Jayne,

Thanks so much for the great review of Speechless! It’s true that I did my time in the government ranks, and I definitely have unruly hair issues, but I’m afraid I topped out at 5′5″. That’s where the fiction comes in!

Anyway, Yvonne and I really appreciate your kind words, as Speechless was our first. As noted, we have been focusing on YA of late, but you’d probably enjoy it. (Some of our friends prefer it!)

We’ve recently started a blog on Amazon.com, so come visit us there. We’re also developing a website. Even the most confirmed tech dinosaurs eventually succumb… Take care, Sandy

I have both of these waiting tbr. Glad to see you liked them though – I might have to bump them up on the reading list.

They’ve also written some YA books as Sandy mentioned in her comment about my review of “What I Want to Do is Direct.” Those books feature the daughter of a film diva. I’m planning on trying them at some point.

I remember this book! I’m going to have to dig it out of a box in the basement and reread it. Hadn’t realized that the authors also wrote What I Really Want to Do is Direct. ::sigh:: Another book to add to the TBR list.
