My father, Michael Catalano, wrote the 18-book Jab Boone Murder Mystery Series. He transferred the copyright to me in a legal copyright transfer statement, and I have been reformatting and republishing them for him. He first published them over a decade ago but wanted me to take them to the next level. Although all 18 books are available in paperback format, I have only edited the first 6 of 18 of them. If you see that a book is available in ebook format, it means I have edited and proofread it. Otherwise, you are reading his original work (which may contain errors).
