Worse than that, Amazon is also bundling the hardback of Never Ceese with Forever Richard presently and not the paperback. I've attempted on several occasions to ask Amazon how I can control bundling options on MY listings but I've received no answer beyond their automated, "blah, blah, blah," irrelevant response.
I'll not receive a response from Amazon (at least not a helpful one) because in the whole scheme of things, I don't matter. I'm below their radar and off the map succeeding with a mid-range publisher without their help. When I do become an author to pay attention to (according to Amazon standards) I will work to have ALL my listings removed from Amazon as the way they operate does not help anyone but those published by larger houses who don't need Amazon's help.
Actually most on-line bookstore sites operate this way but Amazon is the only one I've dealt with so far who will not address any problem that might help an authors books sell better.
So please, for the love of God, DO NOT buy the hardback of Never Ceese bundled with Forever Richard. The money goes straight to Journey Stone Creations and I see none of the proceeds. Besides, why would you pay full price for a book you can get for $2 - $3 all day long from those who buy from the liquidators Journey Stone sold all of their stock to when they went under?
Also PLEASE do not purchase books put out by affiliated Christian authors that are bundled with mine. I do not want to support an industry that excludes and doesn't support me or any other author that doesn't pay a fee and doesn't write censored and targeted fiction.
There are a gazillion other ways to buy my book as many of you have found! ;)
So there you go.
Carry on!
And happy Cyber Monday!
