but not anymore, it seems:

It is, however available for the kindle (at $7.99 much cheaper than the $19.95 for the fictionwise version), and also for the sony reader (here for $13.96).
Did people notice a similar trend? Are books disappearing from fictionwise in lit and other formats?
Sometimes publishers pull eBooks. It's happened before.

The odd thing is The Wizard is not available at all in any format. So why even have book 1 when there is no book 2?
