All I can think of is that they bought them elsewhere and are reselling them. It certainly doesn't make them look good to sell them more than double than the price on Amazon.

Are they out in print version yet? If not, will you be doing them in print eventually?

I thought Polly's educational background had to be in psychology because she portrayed the characters' internal landscapes so well. It created a deadly tension. Bravo, Polly!E. B.
