Waiting for Shadow going perma-free

Waiting for Shadow, as a prequel to the Tracking Jane series will soon gohas gone permanently free (a.k.a. perma-free) everywhere it’s sold. I’ve decided to do that as both a gift to my readers and to provide an introduction to the main part of the series. Notice I said “soon.” While Waiting for Shadow is […]
