Just trying to look out for my readers.

** Well, I was actually able to get on the product page for my hardback of Never Ceese on Amazon to day and put information regarding the true status of this edition. Not so see if Amazon allows what I wrote to stay. Did the same for my out-of-print edition for Forever Richard that Amazon claims to be selling as "new." Good grief!***



My first publisher, Journey Stone Creations, about a year and a half after starting up, liquidated most of their stock and went under. Though I offered to buy over 4000 of my hardback Never Ceese from them at a respectable price, (a good bit over the less than $2.00 price they had them printed for in China) my offer was turned down and the books sold out from under me.



Que sera, sera.



But I did manage to get a letter out of Journey Stone that said the rights of that hardback would revert back to me on a certain date. When that day came I contacted Baker & Taylor (Journey Stones distributor of choice) to let them know that if Journey Stone was still filling orders they were doing so illegally and in turn so was Baker & Taylor. Baker & Taylor asked me to fax them the letter and so I did.



All indications are that Baker & Taylor no longer distribute my hardback and so Journey Stone no longer makes money off my book without passing any of the money on to me, the author.



HOWEVER, Amazon, (yes, I know. They're so on top of things) still shows that they can "get" the hardback new AND they're selling it for $17.95. I asked Amazon about this and got the wonderful news last night that "their" distributor of Never Ceese the hardback has permission to distribute worldwide. Well of course many folk have the right to distribute Never Ceese the hardback worldwide even though I make no money off the sale. It's part of the publishing game. But Amazon is selling these books at RETAIL!!!!! OMG!!!



So here's my helpful little tip to you. Buy the hardback for a dollar or two if you can. Don't worry about me making any money or not. It's not a big deal. BUT DO NOT BUY THAT HARDBACK FROM AMAZON!!! No one is selling that book for anything over $3.00 and Amazon isn't paying more than that for any copy of the hardback of Never Ceese that they have. They aren't that stupid. Any outlet that is selling the hardback for more that $5.00 is taking you for a VERY LONG RIDE. Don't worry Barnes & Noble is doing it too and BAM as well because NOW Never Ceese the hardback has made it to the "returned from the bookstore" wholesalers that BAM buys from.



So where should you buy Never Ceese, Book One of Sue Dent's Thirsting for Blood Series. You guessed it!



From Black Bed Sheet Books where you can also buy it in any ebook format!!!
