Of the 6 books in the series, 1-4 and 6 are available as Kindle editions. I pointed out that even though I was thoroughly enjoying the series, I would not be buying #6 if I couldn't get #5 first.

Unfortunately, as with audio and large-print version, I have no say--and often no knowledge until they show up on Amazon!--of how, when and where electronic versions of my books are published. ... an author's voice is far less important than a readers' (because every author wants every one of her books to appear in every form humanly imaginable!) I encourage you to email St. Martin's Minotaur and tell them what you've told me.
I was so surprised to receive a reply two days after I sent my e-mail, and I appreciated her perspective.

I'm continuing to write to authors because I didn't get any reply when writing to a generic address at the publisher. I'm hoping they will reply with the e-mail address of a *person* who at the publisher as did Julia Spencer-Fleming.
