There's a story behind this. Some of you already know it.
In 2003, because of a truly disastrous romance, I entered a period of serious depression in which I was unable to write. This lasted until December 2006. It ended because I discovered Alizée. As you can perhaps imagine, my gratitude to her for this knows no bounds. As a result, when I began working on a new novel shortly after that, I included a major character who was a tribute to her.
Having come to my senses regarding the slow, rattling death of conventional publishing and recognized that e-publishing is going to dominate the future, I sought avenues to publish it electronically, and now it's done. It will soon be available from the Amazon Kindle Store and from Barnes & Noble and various other premium e-outlets, but it's available right now in various formats from here:

You can (and of course should) read the first few chapters of the book for free. It's a fantasy set in our own world. The capsule description on the web page says: "The course of history has been shaped from the shadows. Two secret orders of powerful magicians have guided it. One of the orders is filled with idealistic zeal and a vision of utopia. The other is consumed with selfish ambition. Their conflict is the hidden story of our world, yet conceals deeper mysteries. This is the story of a bend in the road, a time of change, and the telling of secrets."
I will also be doing a print-on-demand version for people who prefer hardcopy. If you're interested in that, PM me.
