Illegal downloads

If you're going to request and/or share links to my books on Mobilism forums, don't fucking use the same name there as you do here because I'll recognise it and resent you forever. Jfc.

It's £2.99. I'm not asking you to blow your entire life savings. I'll give the files away for free if you're that poverty-stricken. Just don't share the damn things illegally and make me chase you all over the filthiest pits of Google.

Rachel Looks like someone is too stupid to pirate.

Richard Rider It'd be funny if it weren't so annoying! I realise huge scale book theft from struggling indie authors is one of those shitty things that'll never be completely tamed, but when it's SO blatant it makes steam roar out from my ears.

Rachel You sent SS to me for free months ago and I'd love to pay you for them. Is there a link where I can send you some $$?

Misty Where can I find Captured Shadows, other than Lulu ? I can't find it anywhere else!

Richard Rider Rachel - you really don't have to! I might put a paypal button on my blog just because a couple of people have asked me to, but no obligation! Reviews are more valuable than money for brand new books ;)

Misty - let me chase that and get back to you! Lulu is supposed to distribute it to various other sites but I think it takes a while for them to check I'm not just a keysmashing monkey or whatever it is they do. ePub and PDF are both on Lulu, and the ePub converts perfectly to mobi if you run it through a site like http://www.epub2mobi.com

(Greedy author moment: I'd really prefer everyone to buy it from Lulu if at all possible, because authors get the most profits that way. Other sites - Amazon especially, but all of them - take a HUGE cut, and I know people who have never seen any payment at all from Kindle sales, which is all a bit depressing!)

It's not that I don't want to buy it from Lulu, !on the contrary!, but it's just that I'm unable to log on the site (I think that I only purchased something there once or twice a while ago ) my email is rejected and I don't understand why! I tried once more this time for this book .... same problem!

I buy less and less on Amazon and I definitely prefer to give my money to the author via a small publisher.

Libbyr I swear I'm not a complete idiot, Mr. Rider, but I am throwing my hands up in frustration! I am new to Goodreads and feeling my way around slowly. Thank goodness for the people who review for all of you wonderful authors otherwise I would be lost! I have been looking and clicking for awhile searching for Stockholm Syndrome 1. No luck. Could you please point me in the right direction? Thanks so much for any help you can give!!


message 8: by Misty (new)

Misty WTF .... I was able to log in!!!! I really don't understand what just happened and why! Anyway, I just wanted to let you know. Yay!


message 9: by Richard (new)

Richard Rider Libbyr - hello! It's unavailable right now while I sort some editing and reformatting, but it'll be back up for purchase next month. I'll make a big song and dance when it's ready again, so keep an eye on my blog :)

Misty - Lulu is a tricky bugger, sometimes I can't log in with Chrome but it works in Firefox...? Glad you tamed it anyway!


message 10: by Libbyr (new)

Libbyr Will do!! Thank you so much!

Κατερίνα Wait. Next month. You mean, like, before Dec 7? These days I searched for them everywhere, and then I found out they aren't released yet:/ I even sent you an e-mail.. Anyway. I can't wait to read them! :)
