Any plans to add to the Apple Books store?

Yes, this is in work and Setting the Hook should be available in the Apple Store in about two weeks.
Thanks,

Is this not available for the Nook?

This is currently in work and Setting the Hook in Nook format should be available in about two weeks.

Personally, I’d rather have Peter Gimbal’s name on that black hole of a money pit than Sat System’s. In the end, both operations were colossal failures.

Hmmmm...just when I thought the sound of "Akimbo's Hole" was sounding good...!

In any event, the opening made for a "hole" lot of good times for many a subsea adventurer!

Best,

Any update on Nook availability?

The conversion of Setting the Hook to Nook, Sony, Kobo, and for inclusion in the Apple Store and B&N has been completed and is currently being reviewed by the publisher for correct formatting. The book should be available in the above formats and stores no later than the end of this week (but it could be sooner). Thanks for the interest and I will post if something changes and it looks like it will not be ready by Friday.

Setting the Hook is now available for Nook, iBooks, Kobo, Sony and other readers. It will take a few days to possibly a few weeks to show up on the Apple Store, Barnes and Noble, and other ebook retailers' menus, but it is available immediately through "Smashwords" at the below link.

The price and quality are identical at all of the outlets and Smashwords: in other words, the Apple Store and B&N get their electronic copy of Setting the Hook from Smashwords.

There is a very short sign up process for Smashwords. After one is signed up, simply search for "Setting the Hook," scroll down, and find the format that you wish to purchase.

Thank you for your patience and I appreciate your interest.

Just finished reading it on the Nook. What an excellent book! Very well written and engaging, which is not easy to do with non-fiction. Great ending chapters, you can feel the personal emotion in them. Also brought back some memories of hoisting a couple beers on Block Island as well .

Here's a link to a new review for Setting the Hook from an on-line diving magazine:

Scuba Diver Info - Book Review: Setting the Hook - A Diver's Return to the Andrea Doria

Damn, I wish you had posted "Spoiler Alert" on that link...

Good point. A "Spoiler Alert" is probably appropriate for most of the full reviews of Setting the Hook.

Thanks,
