Clare is now available in most of the major ebook formats. I’ve set the free sample size to 20% and the price at a special introductory rate of $2.99. Check it out on Smashwords. If you’re reading on a Kindle, it’s still available on amazon.com, also for $2.99.

Here’s what Jim Barnes of Independent Publisher Website said about Western Herbs when the site named the book a Highlighted Title:
“Herbal medicine expertise has long been the realm of Chinese practitioners, but Western martial artists need information about using Western herbs. This book brings a commonsense approach to treating injuries with 64 herbs readily available at American health food stores. By demystifying a complicated topic with well-organized, plainspoken advice, Dr. Peterson has given athletes a unique and valuable resource.”
–Jim Barnes, Editor, IndependentPublisher.com
Western Herbs was recently selected as an Editor’s Choice for the Independent Publisher Online Magazine’s Highlighted Titled Program. Editor’s Choice books are honored each month for exhibiting superior levels of creativity, originality, and high standards of design and production quality.

My novel, Clare, is being rereleased in 2011 Alcuin House. Right now, however, you can get it on Kindle at a special introductory rate. See the Clare book page on my Website for more information. Clare (the novel) has had almost as long a journey as Clare (the character). It will be nice to see it more widely available.
The results are in. Western Herbs for Martial Artists and Contact Athletes is the “Best Books 2010″ Award winner for the Health: Alternative Medicine category. The award is given each year by USABookNews.com, one of the largest online magazine and book review websites for mainstream and independent publishing houses.
