I THINK I managed to make The Rat Catcher a free Kindle book

I had put it up before but didn't like the idea of charging even ninety-nine cents for it. Then I noticed someone is selling a 30 dollar version of the lulu book (the one I made for a friend)

Gack.

But maybe Amazon has changed its policy and I can put it up free. That's what I'm attempting even now. The little green dial is ticking around as I upload it.

Enough ancient history though. Rat Catcher is old. I need to write more better bigger brighter books. Huzzah!

Sorry I haven't been answering your emails, especially you, BD. I've spent today in a fog. Tomorrow real life begins again.

    If you figure out how to make it free I want to know how! I just uploaded a book and wanted it to be free but it's making me charge 99 cents. SIGH.

    Did you go to that RWA workshop about online promo? the one that got interrupted by the fire alarm? It inspired me.

    I bought a house instead of going to RWA so no promo love for me. Though I was watching on twitter. I have some free reads on my website that I've got formatted in all the different ways and all, but I was hoping there'd be a way to stick them on Amazon for free. From what I can tell it only works if a publisher does it. Did you figure out a way?

    No! Damn. It automatically loaded at $3 and I lowered it to $1 (cheapest is 99 cents) .... I want to see if it works on my Kindle.

    a house is more exciting than RWA even with the fire alarm. congratulations!

more fun and hi-jinks at RWA.

To the Board of Directors of the Romance Writers of America: It has been brought to our attention, by several of our romance authors, that your organization no longer considers Medallion Press, Inc. a legitimate publisher according to your guidelines. We were surprised we did not receive official notification directly, but instead discovered it was posted on several RWA internet loops. Accordingly, we request this letter be published in its entirety in the RWR Report so all members may understand the nature of the process that eliminated Medallion as an RWA approved publisher. We will also send copies of this letter to all our own RWA member authors. We are dismayed you declared Medallion Press no longer a legitimate publisher. In July of 2004 we met all of your qualifications without incident by showing sales of 5000+ copies of USA Today Bestselling author Nan Ryan's The Last Dance. Several months prior to Book Expo America 2005, we received a call from your office alerting us to ...

No snark. Bad puppy. No. (Review stuff.)

A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.   ...
