Award-Winning Journalist Hamilton Wende Releases ebooks Through Mousehand

Cape Town, South Africa, December 12, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Says Wende: "It's great. It's a very exciting way of bringing books alive which, without the net and the new ebook technologies, would have been remaindered and died. True North is back in print again after nearly twelve years, and it can now stay in print forever. Print-on-demand is a completely revolutionary way for authors to reach a worldwide readership."

Wende's new novel, House of War, will be published by Penguin SA in 2009.
