Finished Bones of the Past by @DrewHayesNovels and loved it. I've started on Villain's Vignettes! Decided to draw my take on the world's strongest superhero, Lodestar, and the world's strongest super villain, Fornax.

Still the best song ever written about LA and a big influence on Sandman Slim, especially the final book, KING BULLET.

Important safety tip....

@Mel_Karibian Honestly, that's so valid. Cast a Shadow has a lot of female friends, and MAN, those pronouns are hard to clarify. Which she said what to which other she?

UPDATE: Ref: Book removal.

I was able to uncover the following info about the removal of my new book release (Kindle version) via a community Q&A on KDP’s website. It’s not good.

~ you can no longer talk to a human.

~ starting this year, there has been a dramatic increase in people asking for refunds for ebooks. If your book reaches a percentage of refunds vs sales, it triggers their automated system and Zon pulls the book. They can also drop you as an author and close your acct. Since my book was new, it didn’t have time to accumulate the number of sales to offset the refunds.

~Although I assume some of these refunds are legit, in my case I was able to track recent sales during a sale on the first book in my series and the pattern was obvious. Folks bought ebook copies of all 15 books in the series and then asked for refunds, essentially stealing them. Zon does not distinguish between someone stealing a book and someone with a legit complaint. All refund requests are categorized as “customer dissatisfaction.” Too many of those, and you’re gone.

~ The author will not know this is happening. Asking for a refund does NOT require the posting of a negative rating or review. But if you publish through KDP, a close examination of your sales report over several months may give you the answer.

~ Paperbacks don’t seem to be affected as much.

~ So, until Zon gets a handle on this, in order to protect my artistic property and my future with the company, all future releases of The Katie Porter Mystery Series will be available in paperback format only. Current books 1 – 10 will remain status quo (both versions) since I have an established history of sales with those. I will be monitoring books 11 – 14 to see if I need to unpublish those ebook versions. Paperbacks will remain available.

I am sorry for the inconvenience, but this is just too risky…for all of us.

@nssbookaholic Have a look at Cast a Shadow! A teenage wizard in over her head is in deep trouble when her shadow starts cracking jokes. Puns, fun characters, and adventure! https://t.co/wwRWaytAkn

@Cat_Rector Lies and Magic is on audio. Kids get kidnapped by goblins... who become found family. Gnomish lies, tons of puns, all read by the excellent Elizabeth Chappel!

If you’re scared of the blank page just puff your body up and make the page think you’re very large

@VillainLeaning Cast a Shadow has teens doing magic they don't know anything about! What could go wrong!? https://t.co/JLcgSIHc7U

[Chew Terr @ChewTerr]

@WordsofRABlack It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a shadow must be in want of excuses to snark!

For those who haven't heard: Amazon is raising its printing costs, so lots of books are going to cost more as a result. Please still support authors, we're not being greedy! Or buy books this month before prices rise! https://t.co/JLcgSIHc7U
