Kindle Unlimited

I've finally added "Animal Listeners" to Kindle Unlimited! I'm excited to try it out.

After no ebook sales for months from anything but Amazon, I've decided to trial KDP Select.

So, if you have Kindle Unlimited, and haven't had a chance to read my novel yet, now might be the perfect time.
