***I am thrilled to say that both book one and two are now in print! I will be at a book signing in Worcester MA at the DCU Center on Oct 4th with these on hand!!***

Wow, somehow I am selling way more % wise these days at Smashwords go figure. It was like 90% at Amazon but since they are just not reporting my sales or paying me less because people in say AU are buying under Amazon.com, yet the reader has to pay more btw, double win for them or they aren't showing me the borrowed books people have told me they got.

I am guessing all this has to do with their new program which I'm not super excited about. So my "reported sales" for the last 30 days at Amazon are 20 (still waiting on my audit, not holding my breath) and Smashwords 9. Hmm perhaps KDP Select might be coming off of some of my babies. This lazy author has yet to do Allromance.

Sigh still writing..would love others to chime in.

Wow! So it’s been forever since I have blogged about anything. Today’s post is a warning to my author friends. So Amazon is again deleting reviews. Big surprise right? (note the sarcasm)

Anyway, so you know all those events where you give a gift card, or you give those to family and friends and they say—oh I am going to support you and buy your books. Yeah tell them not to unless you want to see about 5 valued reviews drop off your books. Not just the one from the gift-cardee (yes, I am an author, I make words up).

This goes for gifting your books too right? Nope. Amazon likes that authors have to buy books that they already own. Sigh. But there is some pretend limit. So don’t buy too many, whatever that means.

Where am I getting all this crazy cockamamie stuff? (I can get naughty words in everywhere peeps) A trusted group on my yahoo loop. They are Indie and hybrid published (meaning some where traditionally published and came over to Indie and fought for their rights and others have some toes in certain trad pub waters.

Anyway so what do we do?

Well, the solutions they said were:

1. Buy Amazon cards at a store and snail mail them. But this doesn’t even guarantee your winners from your events and contests to buy your books, just like before with online. And do they really want to give their address? And postmarked from where you are too?
2. Buy online gift cards for other places like Starbucks and Victoria’s Secret. Ultimately Amazon is just shooting themselves in the foot. IMHO.
3. Other people have a second account which is another no-no for Amazon. So with that you risk all your reviews. And ultimately they DO NOT have to sell your books at all. Remember that people.
4. I’m just going to continue giving me free copies from Smashwords. I have a couple of books that are Amazon only, but still I am just keeping Smashwords for this specific reason. Plus, I can make things free. People say they can’t review if they didn’t buy the book on Amazon. I’ve been doing it as a reviewer. I haven’t checked to see if they are still up, but it lets me.

 

You are probably wondering why. Well this isn’t new. Amazon goes through ebbs and tides with their crazy stuff, but there has been a huge discussion on people “buying” reviews. When I first heard about this phenomenon I was disgusted. I still am disgusted. You will know who they are. They released the book and have 500 5-star reviews from their pre-order status. Then once the book starts selling the real reviews come in and they are 1’s and 2’s if that. Most say things like I don’t know who those other reviewers are but this book wasn’t edited or other terrible things…

But why do we give a crap?

Well rankings of course. They are holding a slot where a real true valuable author could and should be getting recognition. But alas the crazy world we live it.

For me I gave up caring about reviews and rankings. Sure, I love the great ones, but I no longer obsess. I appreciate all the good and push out the bad. Hey, I’m an optimist. ;)

I was extremely honored to be included in this mix of talented authors. Please if you do grab a copy we would love for you to share and leave a review. My story is entitled, Blue Bird, and it is a D/s romance. It has spanking and well, I really just enjoyed writing that piece. I cannot wait to read all of the other offerings as well.

Synopsis:

Everyone finds themselves at a crossroads in their life. 



Caleb Cross is not your typical front man. His is not the bad boy, partying, love ‘em and leave ‘em persona, although his public image states otherwise. Being the lead singer of the popular rock band, Double Cross, there are a lot of things the fans and the public do not know about Caleb. Sure, he likes to have a little fun now and again, but after a publicity stunt goes wrong, he is determined to shed the ultra-bad boy image.



Katherine "Kat" Summers is not a typical woman. Not a girl who gets star struck or easily impressed, Kat is content with being herself and who she is. When Kat's company is hired by Caleb Cross to rebrand him, she finds herself re-evaluating everything she knows about herself and about her life. Trying to maintain who she is against what she begins to desire, proves to be difficult for her. 

       For Caleb, hiring a new publicist to help reshape his image was the easy part. What he didn’t count on was being reunited with the one girl that made him question everything about himself. He’s forced to confront himself once more, in order to learn what he truly wants, and who he truly is.

Excerpt:
“This one looks good.” Reese was modeling a ring on her finger. “I think she’ll like it.”

I glanced over and shook my head, “Not big enough.” I turned my attention back to the saleswoman. It had only been a week since she left me and she was still not answering my calls, sending them to voicemail. After leaving about twenty messages, I decided to stop harassing her. Instead, I put my plan into motion. I was relieved that I hadn’t heard anything from Camie in a week and partially relieved that nothing had been leaked to the press about whatever thing she thought she was going to tell them. I refused to put any more money into her account and she wasn’t too pleased.

“Earth to Caleb…” Reese moved her head back and forth attempting to capture my attention.

“Yeah, what’s up?” I asked.

“How about this one?” she asked holding up another solitaire. I walked over to her and in her hand she held a two and half carat, square cut, and platinum set solitaire, lined with diamonds in the band. A simple, yet very elegant look.

“I like that one. It’s her, simple and chic.” I turned to the saleswoman. “I’ll take this one. Add a matching diamond pendant with it.” She simply nodded her head and took off in back. Reese hugged me.

“What was that for?” I asked hugging her back.

“Just because.” She smiled and we broke apart as the attendant returned with my purchases. I handed her my black Amex and paid. Reese grabbed the bag and we left the store.

“I just wish she’d return my calls,” I mumbled as we strolled down Rodeo Dr.

“Give her some time, Caleb. She’ll come around. What do you have planned for when you go back?” She asked as she stopped to window shop.

“I don’t know yet. I figured I had a week or so to figure it out.” Reese nodded and pulled me into a floral shop. “What are we doing here?”

“You’re going to send her flowers.” She said matter of fact.

“Yeah, I don’t think that is a good idea. Won’t that come across cheesy?” I said as Reese moved around the shop looking at the arrangements.

“Nope. Give me your credit card.” Demanding little one she was. I handed her my card and she strolled off to speak with the girl at the counter. I looked at my phone, checking to see if there was anything response from Kat, anything.

Reese returned a few moments later. “What’s the good word?” I asked.

“You have sent a dozen roses every other day for the next two weeks until you return.” I shook my head.

“Are you insane? She’s going to kill me, or refuse to talk to me.”

“Or she won’t. She’ll see your persistence.” Reese walked out of the shop and I followed.

“Or she’ll think I’m stalking her. You do remember what she is like right?” Concern breaking through my voice.

“Calm down, Caleb. I know what I was doing. Let’s get some lunch.” Her hands were on her hips, the sun graced her hair, which was now blond with a chunk of black and a chunk of pink in the front. I nodded and laughed, walking in the direction of our favorite spot. Reese was a spit fire, always has been. I was glad to have her on my side.

Author bio:

I grew up in a small, idyllic affluent town in the Western part of Connecticut, USA. The town definitely did not match my personality. My high school years were filled with the proverbial teenage fun, although not too much by me. I stayed close to home and pursued my B.A. in English Comparative Literature from a local college and then continued on for my M.A in English Professional Writing. I have always had a love for reading and literature and only furthered that during my studies. During my M.A. studies I decided it was time to challenge myself and work in a field that I have long admired and dreamt off: being a writer.

Having entered the lifestyle a few years ago, I write erotica with a preference toward BDSM themes. I enjoy exploring the emotional connection and emotions behind the D/s relationships and why we like what we like.

I just love the buttons, did this solve your problem? No it didn't solve my problem. "Show me the money!" Going back with "what countries are paid under the US report". Perhaps it might ring a bell? Maybe. Or maybe they are lumping other countries in (I'm an optimist, cant help giving the benefit of the doubt).
