There have been some inquiries about how soon my books are available in different formats once the initial PDF e-book has been launched. The Kindle and ePUB versions arrive about one week later, after they are converted by a company in India. The softcover version is available about 10 days after the original release, though it can take an additional week before it is picked up by Amazon. If you are looking for it in a CPE class, one of my distributors generally has it available within 4-6 weeks of the original release date, since they are supposed to test it to see how many CPE hours it should have, and then set it up on their websites.
New Website Articles in December
