My book is now available in Kindle format!

My book, Morning of the Rising Sun: The Heroic Story of the Battles for Guadalcanal, is available on Amazon.com as an e-book. It is available in Kindle format that displays just like the printed version in a new technology Amazon.com calls "electronic paper." The Kindle is a device that Amazon.com offers the reader access to electronically published material downloaded from the internet or Amazon. If you want to know more this remarkable device, click here. If you already own a Kindle or equivalent device and wish to purchase my book in this new format, click here.

Of course, if you wish to purchase an autographed copy signed by me, you can purchase one from my web site or Amazon.com.

Readers can now enjoy my book from a small hand-held device no thicker than a pocket-size paperback.

A great gift idea for that person who loves to read military history.

Or buy a copy for yourself to enjoy!

Happy New Year to everyone!!

More news about my book

If some of you visited the Amazon.com web site to purchase a copy of my book and noticed that neither Amazon nor my publisher offers my book for sale, please do not be concerned about this development. My book is being updated with a few minor editorial changes that does not materially change the book in any way. During this update process, the book is temporarily unavailable from these sources. This step is necessary so that when a customer orders this book, that person gets most recent print available. After the book completes this update cycle, Amazon and BookSurge, LLC will offer it for sale once again.
