Answers to the questions readers ask most. If you don't see yours here, send us a note.

Buying the books

Why does the button take me to Amazon?

All of our books are printed, sold, and shipped by Amazon. When you click "Buy on Amazon," you go straight to that book's Amazon page, where you check out with your own Amazon account. You get Amazon's shipping speeds, Prime eligibility, and customer service, and you never have to enter your payment details on a new site.

Which formats are available?

Every title in the shop is available as a paperback and as a Kindle ebook. Choose the format on the book's page before you click, and the button will take you to the matching Amazon listing.

Can I read the ebooks with Kindle Unlimited?

Yes. Our ebooks are currently enrolled in Kindle Unlimited, so members can read them at no extra cost. Look for the Kindle Unlimited option on the Amazon page.

Do I need a Kindle device to read the ebooks?

No. The free Kindle app works on iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets, and computers. You can also read in any web browser through Kindle Cloud Reader.

Are the books sold anywhere besides Amazon?

Right now, Amazon is the only place to buy them. If that changes, email subscribers will hear about it first.

Orders, shipping, and returns

How long does shipping take?

Shipping times depend on your Amazon delivery options and location. Paperbacks are printed on demand, and Amazon shows your estimated delivery date at checkout.

I have a problem with my order. Who do I contact?

Since Amazon processes and ships every order, questions about delivery, damaged copies, refunds, or returns are handled through Your Orders in your Amazon account. Amazon's return policy applies to all purchases.

Can I return a Kindle ebook?

Amazon usually allows returns of accidental Kindle purchases for a short time after purchase. You can request one from your Amazon account under Manage Your Content and Devices.

Can I order in bulk for a book club, school, or event?

Yes, and we'd be glad to help. Contact us with the title, quantity, and date you need the books by.
