Guess what? Amazon and I have a bit of a disagreement going on! Something that I was a bit surprised about, but that’s what’s happening at the moment.
It’s not a major ‘earth-shattering’ thing, and I’m not likely to get booted off the site, but it’s regarding something I asked them to do, and they got back to me saying “Not enough evidence to warrant us doing it!”
See, I’ve got two novels out through CreateSpace and Kindle. To me, they’re the first two books in a series, they’re ‘standalone’ books as well, but they also follow a team of Special Forces as they deal with a situation, but Amazon said that I hadn’t put enough into the books to make it obvious they were a series!
I know what they were getting at, that at the beginning of the book they wanted me to ‘list’ the books and put links in there to the next in the series, but at the moment I haven’t done that, maybe I will or maybe not, I haven’t decided as yet.
One thing I did do this morning was I took a look at my previous sales on Kindle, it was quite interesting, see I’m thinking of running a ‘Kindle Countdown’ sale later in the month, but the last two times I ran one I didn’t sell a book! I sold in the month before and after, but not during the countdown sale! Not sure what to make of that really.
By the way, I’m running a ‘free giveaway’ at the moment, click on the link and see what it is, it’s only running for the next five days, then it’ll be back to the regular price.
Regarding the rest of the Marketing, well I’ve got the books listed on a couple more sites, one of the books even got a five-star rating on Goodreads, that I was impressed and really happy with.
Anyway, that’s all for now.
Bye for now
