Can never understand why his books are so hard to find except on Amazon. He is a Canadian author too. Hope you enjoy the book.Donna Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11491130884085643521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30210943.post-55536978429675029212020-04-16T16:59:25.075-04:002020-04-16T16:59:25.075-04:00Donna, that sounds interesting.

I questioned that and asked they be completely taken down (because they're still up) and got a rather, shall I delicately put it, "rationalized" answer about why they think they can keep loaning out my books to the blind and others with handicaps.

I must say, given the amateurish look of their site, I can't imagine large numbers of readers would want to download anything from it.
