Yeah, Amazon can do that to you--get it stuck there and do nothing. It's agonizing. |

Ed,
Did Amazon unstick your pending bargain book yet? If so, then we'll add it to the bargain threads.

Kevis: No they haven't. I mean, it's unstuck in DTP, but the price never changed. The Digital Price is $ .99, but the Kindle price remains $3.19. I've written to dtp-feedback@amazon.com asking them to investigate and unstuck it. Thanks Edward C. Patterson |

 Hi all, I'm actually an author from Australia. I write both fiction and non-fiction and have 12 titles available here on Amazon in paperback form. I'd love to be able to sell some Kindle editions of my works here, but in order to set up an author/publisher account for Kindle, I'm required to have a US address and a US bank account. However, thanks to Smashwords, I do have one of my novels available for sale in eBook form, including the Kindle format. The book is called Scarecrow and is a horror story set in the bahamas. Here's a very brief synopsis: On a small island resort in the middle of the Bahamas, three college graduates dive for lost Spanish treasure. In their efforts to find the gold, the three men open an underwater cave that has been sealed shut for more than two decades. In the cave lurks a creature of unspeakable evil. One by one, the resort guests start to disappear. Headless corpses wash up on the beaches. Kurt, Matt and Pete must find a way to stop the bloody rampage before they all die. But only one man knows the secret of the SCARECROW. As I said earlier, the book is available for download in Kindle format from the Smashwords site, and I am only selling it for $1.00. If you are interested, here's the link: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1640If you want to check it out here on Amazon first in paperback form, then you can see it here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1409207803Thanks for letting me tell you about it. |

I'm happy to announce that my Young Adult fantasy book The Legend of Witch Bane is still on sale for 80 cents. I am even happier to say that after many years of toil, that readers have finally gotten a chance to read this tale that is so close to my heart. I hope you all join me on this wonderful adventure and see why the people who have read The Legend of Witch Bane have come to love it so dearly. As a special treat, here is the 30 second teaser trailer for The Legend of Witch Bane (The Witch Bane Saga). While you're at it, I invite you to grab a copy of my new science fiction adventure novel Rogue Hunter featuring the young lady below. Now on sale for 99 cents. Enjoy!  Rogue Hunter (Chronicles of the Rogue Hunter) ( As requested by Kindle owners, this cover's included in the book!) |

I'm one sale away from making 100 this month! If you've been hesitant, it's only 80 cents. The link is in the sig (I feel so gangster saying that!).

Kevis, do you do your own art? Nice video.

Patricia, I am a competent, if not rather decent artist. But I'm not at all inclined to learn how to do all the tekkie tricks to create cover art for my books. So I have hired 3 rather remarkable artists to create my covers. In the case of the video, the featured artwork is one of the illustrations contained in the book that my illustrator created. But the video was my creation. I can certainly say that I'm proud of that little number!  |

Kevis, my very talented ex-husband (Paul Sierra) did the cover art that appears on The God Wars. It wasn't created for that purpose, but he let me use it. People are surprised to learn that he painted it prior to 9/11. More of his work can be seen at http://paulsierra.com |

Patricia, Your husband is very talented. He has excellent use of color and perspective even in his more chiaroscuric pieces. See now I'm sounding like an artist again.  Either way, I'm impressed. You're very lucky to have such a talented person to create your book covers for you. BTW, I noticed that you don't have your books featured in your signature yet. It's perhaps the best marketing tool you have here on Kindle Boards and is an absolute must here. Most KB members love to click on your signature links to see which books you have written. All you have to do is to go to your profile, then use the "Link-Maker" tool at the very top of your screen to get the html code for your books. You can either feature a text link or an image link in your signature. Whichever way you go is fine. Just make sure you do this soon so that you can attract more readers. |

I'm testing to see if I've created a sig with links (I don't see it in preview).
Edited to add: Victory! Thanks again, Kevis. There wasn't room for all the links, but two is way better than none.

Amazon is currently offering a 75% discount on my new book Rogue Hunter (Chronicles of the Rogue Hunter). It's listed at $3.99, but is on sale for only 99 cents. A darn good deal if I ever seen one. But this sale won't last long. I invite everyone to donwload your free sample today. If you enjoy what you read, please get yourself a copy of Rogue Hunter. I really hope you guys decide to check it out. As a bonus, my Young Adult fantasy novel The Legend of Witch Bane (The Witch Bane Saga) is still on sale for the very low price of 80 cents. If you haven't read it yet, why not give it a try. For less than the price of a donut and a cup of coffee you can read both of these books. As a special treat, here is the 30 second teaser trailer for The Legend of Witch Bane (The Witch Bane Saga). Enjoy! |

My short story The Testing Police, a satire, selling for .80. Teaching is a difficult profession, with its own unique set of demands and challenges. A young man who thinks he has a handle on this fact finds out one day that he is wrong. Dead wrong. While administering the state examination he finds out how difficult, and how deadly, teaching can really be. You don't have to be a teacher to appreciate this but if you are a teacher or know a teacher, pass this along. It isn't so far from the truth... http://www.amazon.com/The-Testing-Police-ebook/dp/B002ECF3PY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1246076186&sr=8-1 |

A tiny fish swam into the Orthodox Church searching for the meaning of life. The priest was unavailable, due to the small gang of wombats that were extolling the virtues of Joseph Smith and cold, vegetarian pizza. The fish, wishing it had shoulders to shrug at the universe, simply settled for a noncommittal wave of its fins. As the fish swam out of the church a runaway rickshaw being pulled by George Bush and Hillary Clinton rode over it, squashing its tiny brain to oatmeal. Right as its eyes darkened forever beneath the unforgiving rubber of the wheel it had time to think ‘Oh yeah. The answer is pretty much what I figured.’
Then nothing.
Not even reruns of Seinfeld.

Thanks Ed. If you have my book and have read it (this goes to everyone, not just Ed) please post a review. You have no idea how important it is. Unless you're an author--then you know exactly how important it is. Dawson |
