Michael Pyrite's Blog

This holiday season, give the gift of reading. michaelpyrite.com/link-holidays.html

I decided to remove the books from KU (but not Kindle), starting 12/20. Sorry, but the reason is that, being on KU requires an exclusivity commitment from the author, and that stopped working out. The problem was that book 2 (which pokes fun at billionaires) was recently removed from Amazon searches and placements, in a mysterious and Kafkaesque situation that authors call being "dungeoned". I like Kindle and Amazon, but dungeoning is untenable. In early January, once the exclusivity period has ended (which I'll still honor, on my end), I plan to add at least one more store. The books will remain available for purchase on Kindle, just not be on KU. So, last chance to read on KU. And email me if you have a preference for stores.

If you'd like to be the first to read and review pre-publication copies of new stories by me, please use the ARC Reader Volunteer button at the bottom of my web page. New writers love ratings and reviews from people who liked a story, as well as feedback about mistakes we might be able to fix before publication. www.michaelpyrite.com

If you're on Bluesky, please follow me there. I'll also remain on Fediverse (Mastodon), Goodreads, and Bookbub. @michaelpyrite.bsky.social

Time to kindle some reviews, so the book is free to "purchase" on Kindle, on the 24th only, starting at 3am New York time. www.amazon.com/dp/B0FRG6YYZN

It took a few tries to adjust the Seducing Audrey ebook cover art for Amazon's paperback print-on-demand, but I think it came out OK. Their print quality for the interior, on light cream paper, is gorgeous. www.amazon.com/dp/B0FWRK8DT4

For a limited time, my first spicy romance novella, Seducing Audrey: Roommate Love in the City, is free to Kindle Unlimited subscribers. (If you'd like to see it in paperback, or eventually on other ebook stores, please email me.) www.amazon.com/dp/B0FRG6YYZN

If you are a cool person who uses an RSS reader to follow news from people on the Web, at your own pace, in a way that you control, I have an Atom feed. https://www.michaelpyrite.com/atom.xml

It's a very steamy story that started as a chapter of Seducing Audrey, but got a little too silly. Yet it was too fun to leave on the cutting-room floor, so I finished it as a short story. Free on Kindle for one day only, October 2nd. If anyone doesn't see this announcement in time, the book is also temporarily on Kindle Unlimited. www.amazon.com/dp/B0FS25MZ9V
