Final February Update

 Hey, if you're reading this, I hope you're having a lovely final day of this wretched month. Or first day of March if you're already there. 

So, I thought I'd end this month with an update on bookish things.

Nothing major, just letting y'all know where all the books are in the journey to getting them as wide as possible.

First, I did return most of my books to Amazon, as I've probably said. I don't know what I've written before, I don't read my posts. I will not return those that are still missing. And I will never return to KU. It is what it is. I know that there are people who will never leave that hell site so, there they'll be until I'm kicked off.

And, I have not placed those same books with Draft 2 Digital for reaching sites like Tolino, and I won't. But the books that are successfully published on D2D are up on all basic book sales sites now. Including Smashwords. 

And I have successfully published a handful of them to library sites and Everand. Overdrive, which is the library lister that works with Libby I believe is either slow, or not going to publish most of them. Everand is the same. Still waiting on the bulk to make it through their listing process.

Everything is available on Kobo and in Kobo Plus. I still highly encourage you to get a Kobo Plus subscription if it's available in your country. 

I think one book is not published to Apple itunes ibooks whatever they call it. I will not bother with it. You won't miss it. I promise.

And then there's Barnes & Noble. I have updated and relisted 18 of the 27 titles I'd planned to relist with them. All 18 are published, but 3 titles have been removed from search and can only be found through direct link. I can't even find them by searching title and author. Beyond Complicated, Double Coverage, and for some reason Under a Crescent Moon are being actively suppressed there. I'll get the last 9 up over the next few days. As soon as I kick this bout of Covid.

AND! As books go live on sites, I've been updating the Books2Read app on D2D and updating the book pages here on the blog with the universal links tab. I'm about halfway through the stand alone titles and will start on the series next week or again, once I kick this bought of Covid.

And finally, my Payhip store. I haven't changed the prices to reflect the updated pricing scale for retail there yet. But everything is available in my Payhip store and I would honestly, prefer you bought directly from me there. I'm going to put that link in a tab on the menu bar above. But you can find a direct link on each book page, and in the universal links tab.

You'll also find print books and the twin banned book in my Payhip store.

That's about it for now.

Despite the Covid capping off a crappy month, I think I've gotten back into a decent pattern work wise. 

Maybe things will change in the near future. That is if the current administration doesn't kill us all.

Wishing you a great start to the Spring (or Fall) months.

Talk to ya later,

Peace.

Mercy
