I have run out of space for new books on my shelves and have no place to
put new shelves. Since I don't want to move, I have been preparing to
put books in storage. Thus, I have been downloading e-book editions of
books (so they will still be available to me when the hardcopy is in
storage). However, I have run into cases where books, published since
the late 1990s, don't have e-book editions. For example, Patricia
McKillip's _The Tower at Stoney Wood_, doesn't have one, while _The Book
of Atrix Wolfe_ and _Song of the Basilisk_, published before it, and
_Ombria in Shadow_ and others, published after it, all have e-book
editions. BTW, all were published by the same publisher.
 

As Ted mentioned, you may do better with "Stony", but I also wanted to point out that sometimes the e-book is part of an omnibus or collection.
The isfdb listing for The Tower at Stony Wood
( https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?21395  )
says there is an e-book edition as part of a three-book omnibus.[1]
