Amazon is CONSTANTLY battling fraud. It was why I didn’t lay into them too much. It’s been a problem since the beginning and I don’t see it going away any time soon.

It’s likely that certain audiences are doing it more, and therefore certain authors are hurting more because of it.

It’s still sad that this behavior is running rampant in our culture.

Well that is good news. I only blogged on this because all the sudden there were a flurry of articles about authors suddenly hemorrhaging royalties. Since Amazon has a reputation for constantly moving the digital furniture, better safe than sorry. Thanks for the heads up. I know this post garnered about 100 signatures on the petition so….who knows?

Recently, I went on a free book binge in certain sociological areas of the Kindle store. As I was happily “buying” everything that looked good, I somehow missed that there were books that were NOT free mixed in. When I went to return those, I was only able to return about 5 of them before Amazon cut me off. (For the record, I had not downloaded a single one of those, and had not read a single word of them.)

So anyway, there’s hope.

SORTED ! … At last.
Like the waters of its mighty namesake, the machinations of Amazon move slowly… but they get there in the end.
As reported earlier, there have been problems with Amazon over the change in my publisher, and the re-launch of the re-written edition of my novel, ‘Transactions’.
It seems that the message got through, whether from my publishers, old or new; the printer/distributors; or someone at Amazon reading the widely shared blog post outlining the fiasco, I couldn’t say, but we’ve got there in the end, and the book is available in both Kindle form, and paperback.
