SCROLLTO BOTTOM FOR ALL BOOKS & STORIES!
It was so funny, I broke out in laughter! Amazon, in their largess, offered me $1.40 (a dollar and forty cents) OFF on a "Best on Kindle" book and I could choose from, oh, i don't know...a couple dozen of "their best." Those were books by Michelle Obama and Howard Stern and similar really talented authors. And their books only cost from $12 to $15. (Nothing cheaper.) And, I got a dollar and forty cents off if I bought one !!!
I turned down their kind offer. But it just goes to show that Amazon doesn't give a shit about Indie writers, no matter how good you and i might be. Oh, I buy a lot of books, but if I am going to plunk down fifteen dollars for a book, I will make the choice, not Amazon's flunkies.
Don't get me wrong. Amazon has provided a platform where we can publish our work when I have old desk drawers full of rejection slips from print publishers that date back 30 years. That's the good side of it. Unfortunately, for us, Amazon is a huge business whose only loyalty is to Jeff Bezos, his ex-wife, and Amazon's stock holders. So, as in everything that makes the world go around, MONEY is the driving force. For you and me, we will just keep writing our very best, because it is in our souls to WRITE. We couldn't stop if we wanted to. And we don't want to, do we?.
