I wish I could say that all was roses in my small
self-publishing world, but I don't like to lie or pull punches. It wears
at my soul and would go against my reason for starting this blog in the first
place. This space on the web is meant to detail my process of
self-publishing. The good, the bad and the ugly.
I'm not sure where Amazon fits into that, but they sure
aren't the good, not after what they've done to my eBooks and my readers.
And once I tell you about it, you'll likely have your own thoughts and
may even agree.
I know my particular eBook is unconventional: one book with
four parts added at different times. But it is the way I had to do it
with the time constraints I posed upon myself. If I were to release a 600
- 700 page novel in September or October, there would be so little time before
the integral date in the book of 12/21/2012
that some people might not have enough time to finish it by then. Very
Uncool. And I want cool to be the rule when it comes to my readers.
I don't mind running hot over people making mistakes. We all make
mistakes. But when people mess with my readers I take it personally. I am doing all that I can to start a career as a novelist and my readers are everything to me.
Due to their tardiness I was forced to contact Amazon yesterday about my recent
release of Stage Two. "Two weeks" I was
promised originally as a response to my request for an email update in
regard to my addition of over two hundred pages.
Below is the email I received today after I had to contact
Amazon once they did not respond within two weeks like they had promised.
