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.

I was interested in Julia's books. But I took a look and found that they are not available except for I think 2 or three of them as eBooks outside Amazon. Which means I'll just have to bypass her work.
I think it was a good idea to e-mail the authors. I may do the same as well sometime next week. But it really is a shame that some publishers think Amazon is the only place to release eBooks. The problem with that is they ignore a large population of eBook readers especially now that eReader and soon Mobipocket will be available for the iPhone/iPod Touch. And then there are the Astak and the Netronix readers to be released. It's basically going to alienate readers if a publisher goes with one platform and ignores the rest.
