Upcoming Kindle Countdown deal for Caligula

Now that I’ve got good reviews/ratings, it makes sense to let more people know about it. The Author is Publisher and the Publisher is Author. So starting Thursday, September 16th, ebook copies of The Meditations of Caius Caligula will be discounted to 99 cents, for a few days time. If you’ve been on the fence… Read More Upcoming Kindle Countdown deal for Caligula

Backlist Publishing News: Amazon Price Shift

Word around the internet campfire of authors is that the best place to make money, especially as a self-published author, is to have an extensive backlist. That way, when you have something even mildly successful, people will come back looking for more. As it happens, I have a backlist of self-published works, novellas mostly, but… Read More Backlist Publishing News: Amazon Price Shift

Digital Buying is Not Buying

At least, so far as Amazon is concerned: When an Amazon Prime Video user buys content on the platform, what they’re really paying for is a limited license for “on-demand viewing over an indefinite period of time” and they’re warned of that in the company’s terms of use. That’s the company’s argument for why a… Read More Digital Buying is Not Buying

SubStack, Marketing Lamentations, and Cover Design Refreshes

There’s a new publishing platform out there called SubStack. I heard about it on Twitter. It looks cool, it’s free to use, and it’s got a bunch of features like MailChimp that cost extra on WordPress (the number of things this blog doesn’t have because I don’t feel like shelling out for a WordPress business… Read More SubStack, Marketing Lamentations, and Cover Design Refreshes

The Tolkien Estate Gets to Veto Amazon

There’s apparently a trailer, or a teaser, or whatever, for the new Amazon series, but I’ll be damned if I can find it. The important fact is, Amazon doesn’t get to hose this the way everyone expects they will. Amazon has a relatively free hand when it comes to adding something, since, as I said,… Read More The Tolkien Estate Gets to Veto Amazon

The Wheel of Time comes to Amazon

Cue all the “At least this series is finished” snark. Set in an epic world where magic exists but only women can use it, “The Wheel of Time” follows Moiraine, a member of the shadowy and influential all-female organization called the “Aes Sedai,” as she embarks on a dangerous journey with five young men and… Read More The Wheel of Time comes to Amazon

KDP-Amazon Price Reduction

Available on Amazon: The Right of Revolution

This was a short essay I wrote a few years ago and have toyed with either expanding or publishing as-is. I decided upon the latter. It’s basic point, that rebellion is justified according to the prime value of a culture, is to my mind eloquently expressed. There’s obviously a great deal more to say on… Read More Available on Amazon: The Right of Revolution

To Lulu or To CreateSpace?

How recently would that question have made no sense at all? Having played around a bit with Amazon’s CreateSpace service (Those books on the sidebar: They’re mine, I swearsies), I find it functional, intuitive, and free. Zero complaints about how the system works or how Amazon pays out. Yeah, you don’t make tons of money,… Read More To Lulu or To CreateSpace?
