Just to say hello, and update you. I haven’t posted in all these months because of a disaster caused by Amazon.

I called one February day in 2023 to ask to have incorrect Prime billing that had gone on for six months and I was rather fed up with it.

The agent managed to delete both my KDP and my personal account pages!! And nobody at Amazon could correct her mistake for me. Thanks for nothing, Amazon.

In all this long, long time in between I’ve been trying out different ideas for self-publishing without any luck. None that made me happy, anyway.

The latest update I can give you is that I did finally get signed in again, and had to RE-upload my books. BUT the lastest hurdle might be the biggest:

Two of my books have been pirated. My copyrights have been violated. My property is being sold by someone else. So the battle now is to get those removed. First step was that I UNpublished my own so they are not sitting there beside those illegal postings.

The goal is to upload onto IngramSpark (already done) and hope they can post them on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, which is their usual custom.

All this has become so difficult and frustrating that I now have help in a marketing/publicist specialist who has much more experience than I do.

I promise to update you regularly from now on!

See you SOON again!
