NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Morgan James Publishing today announced a new, consumer direct program offering previews and sales of all of their books to web and social network users on both mobile and desktop devices via the Aer.io Retail Network.

Morgan James titles can now be shared as Twitter Cards, Facebook posts, and Pinterest Pins. And these can be expanded so users can read an up-to-20% sample that includes an integrated multi-item, multi-format cart, social sharing, and email opt-in for special Morgan James offers and announcements.
