G.J. Kelly:
Is there a digital version available for The Six Concentrics? All I've found are paperback version from Amazon and Kindle versions. I don't own a Kindle nor do I plan to get one anytime soon... Might be I missed out on it. Please point me in the right direction and away I'll go. Thanks Mr Kelly.

Hi, thanks for your question and for taking the time to write.
At the moment, the first two volumes of the Six Concentrics are enrolled in Amazon's KDP Select program, which makes them 'exclusive' to Amazon Kindle format or in paperback via Amazon (or direct from CreateSpace).
However, Hurna's Blade (Book One) is due to be taken out of the program and published for other channels and platforms on September 29th 2017.
Hurna's Hand (Book Two) must remain 'exclusive' to Amazon until October 23rd 2017.
Book Three will go into the KDP Select program at publication and will probably not be available on other channels until January of next year (2018).
I don't know what hardware platform you're using to read e-books, but I do know that Amazon provides a free 'kindle reader' app for PC, Mac, Android, and iOS, which allows people to purchase and read e-books from Amazon. (I use both an iPad and an android tablet with the Kindle App to check for any formatting issues prior to releasing a title, in addition to my old Kindle Keyboard, and the apps are pretty good).
If you have a tablet, laptop, or read e-books on a phone, you might consider installing the free Kindle App to give you access to Kindle content? Obviously that won't be appropriate if you're using an e-reader like a Nook or a Kobo.
I'm sorry if the recent Kindle 'exclusivity' was frustrating for you, but to be perfectly honest I do make a few extra pennies from the 'borrow' of a book in the KDP Select program than I do from an outright sale; there's only so much "suffering for one's art" a fellow can do before a diet of boiled rice and tomato ketchup results in a form of writer's block best not mentioned in polite company...
Hope this helps!

Hi Mr. Kelly! I was wondering about any updates on the progress of your next book? Also, I just wanted to say that this new series has actually helped a lot with my anxiety, surprisingly. Benmelo's little mantra of serenity and dreams is something I've incorporated into my own ways of calming down. It's been very effective and has helped me a lot, so thank you!!
