from Klaudia: The Beginning is the End

I have a short story up today at Three Crow Press ezine for their August issue called THE BEGINNING IS THE END. It's pretty much a story about a transformation I never actually name. Definite adult content.

And in the end, it turned out that he knew even less about himself than he did Jane. For example, he'd never have believed he could kill another human being. But there she lies on the floor at his feet, body ripped apart. Just like Jane. Like Lucy.

I have to note that although as usual, Three Crow's presentation is lovely, the italics are stripped from the story - not my preference.

I'd recommend checking out their artist of the month - they haven't picked one yet that's less than amazing.

Amazon gives me A HURT STOMACH

Interesting thing happened to me yesterday.  I checked on my ranking for the Amazon Kindle versions of  “After Anna” and “Touch Like Breathing” – AA was doing pretty well, in the top 100 in the gay and lesbian category (Kindle books: fiction: genre: gay & lesbian). For some reason later on I checked again – my novellas were no longer listed in any category other than Kindle books in general. I wrote Amazon and the customer rep apologized, said they’d get to it within 2 to 3 business days. I have a bit of a problem with that – first, why would Amazon go to the trouble of removing my stories from the category at all, why do it arbitrarily, and why wasn’t I notified? So I wrote them back, telling them my sales would fall without readers being able to see them in the appropriate category, and could they try to get if fixed ASAP? Again they wrote me, almost immediately this time, telling me they needed at least 48 hours. Note they wrote immediately but couldn’t put me back in the category. Honestly, it seems like it’d be a very simple thing.

 

So I went to twitter. Posted under #amazon!fail. And I’m back in the appropriate categories and my sales have risen quite a lot, all of that within an hour of posting on twitter. Coincidence?
