March 31, 2023:  Red Penguin Books continues to work with third party arbitrators representing publishing companies to restore removed books to Amazon.com.  In the interim, many of the previous Red Penguin Collection anthologies as well as other books published by Red Penguin Books (to include my memoir) are currently unavailable on Amazon.com.  We hope this situation will be resolved in the near future.  Until then, my memoir, "Quest:  My Journey Through La Mancha," continues to be available on the Barnes & Noble website for those wishing to purchase the paperback as well as through other sources for those preferring an electronic version of the book.  I apologize for the inconvenience.
