I don't know how many of you are aware of Google's book scanning project, but several years ago they began to offer complete works on their subdomain books.google.com. The original intent was to make available out of print works and public domain.
Well, they got carried away and began to have current works (mine included) that are available in their entirety. Most of us authors joined in a class action suit, which Google is attempting to settle. I haven't seen any money from them yet, but I am willing to sell limited rights to them. They primarily link to the works on Amazon, Chapters, Borders, etc. where both electronic and print versions are available. I assume that Google collects some commission for the link, but I would get my standard commission from the publisher.
Anyway, I found that three of my novels, In The Beginning, Just in Time, and Ad Astra are still up on their "search within the book" feature in their entirety. I figure I will mention this here for anyone who would like to read them on-line. These are not available for download from Google, but my stuff is available at this URL.
