Still working just to get everything done - finally got my opt-in ad worked out for fiction. Not too surprising, the paperback versions of these new fiction books don't sell. Their reason for being there is to make the ebook look like a bargain. Non-fiction always has paper and hardbacks selling along with the ebooks. And some audio - where I have it available.

How to Quickly Recover from A Trump Mindset Collapse
Despondant? Gloomy? I can feel it from here. But it's curious that we had so many people feeling "destroyed" after this particular election. Sure, we had noticeable upset and protests when George W. got elected, but nothing like what is happening now. What Was Different in the Trump Election? Before we go there, I have to clue you in on something. How you feel now is due to how you've been thinking. and acting earlier. The way you've been doing things consistently form mental habits. The more you do things the same way, the more you re-enforce those habits. These habits allow you to function in our modern society. They take care of all the "now-you're-supposed-to's" which are acceptable manners. They also allow you to drive a car and still carry on a conversation with someone … [Read more...]
New news on the Classics You Should Know book club
Hi there, Just wanted to keep you up to date. "Classics You Should Know" is live with plenty - a week's worth of books for you. We're still working on the bubble-wrap they came in, so we'll get some more links up there as soon as possible. I did get some ways you could buy directly, which is a step forward.

And if I don't have a version of that ebook on Amazon, then I can price it whatever I want (regardless of the Amazon-Kindle price-check bots.) The trick is that I can also include all sorts of other versions along … [Read more...]
