February E-book Sales Skyrocket

Publisher’s Weekly reports that ebook sales increased at a higher rate in February than they did in January. 
According to the American Associate of Publishers (AAP), ebook sales increased 202 percent, raking in $90 million. 
February wasn’t so good to other forms of books, which all saw declines. Adult hardcover fell 43 percent to $46 million and mass market paperback plunged 41.5 percent to $29 million.
The AAP believes the ebook gains are the result of people loading ebooks onto the e-readers they received for the holidays.
Whatever the reason, according to Publishers Weekly, ebook sales for the first two months of 2011  equalled sales of trade paperbacks for that period.

A Fool Again is the story of Genevieve, who once made a dash to Gretna Greene to marry, but was caught by her father. 
Now, a few years later, she attends the funeral of her elderly husband (not the man she ran away to marry) and who does she see but The One Who Got Away!

Here’s a preview of the story from Mallory’s Website:


THE GREATEST PASSION

Lady Isobel Hume is an expert swordswoman who knows how to choose her battles. When the king asks her to wed a French nobleman to form a political alliance, she agrees. But that’s before the devilishly charming Sir Stephen Carleton captures her heart-and tempts her to betray her betrothed, her king, and her country.


IS WORTH THE GREATEST PERIL

Sir Stephen Carleton enjoys his many female admirers-until he dedicates himself to winning the lovely Isobel. When a threat against the king leads Isobel into mortal danger, Stephen must prove that he is more than a knight of pleasure … and that love can conquer all.

Enjoy! I plan to.
