Cindi Russell I have gotten several of her books that way. Worked real well. Prices are good. I dislike being censored from books at Amazon.

Claire Thompson you and me both, Cindi! it did significant damage to my career. It was terrifying, like suddenly living in a police state, to have work I'd been selling there for years suddenly yanked down, with a threat of closing my account entirely if I didn't obey their rules, but then refusing to tell me what the rules were.

Cindi Russell I'm really sorry to hear that, Claire. Amazon has really turned into the morality police of reading in the last year or so. I know other authors have had issues with books being banned. And yet there are other, significantly worse books that are still being sold. Plus there are always people who, despite the many warnings read a book and then act all offended because it wasn't happiness and light. Sigh.

Claire Thompson Yeah. They pick and choose. It's inconsistent and arbitrary. But yeah, the reviews that say, "I hate non-con and therefore I'm giving this book one star" can be pretty hard to take.

Claire Thompson That's true. I wasn't making any money selling directly from my site. So I figured out a way to package and sell some of my abduction tales as bound volumes on Amazon, titled Dark Obsessions Volume 1 & 2. I'll be producing a third volume eventually.
