The $1.99 Author Expanded Edition is up... sorta.
For whatever reason, Goodreads has a problem with allowing a book description to be added.
If ever there was a website in dire need of a makeover --- while being owned by one of the wealthiest men on the planet --- it's this one.
Here is the description the site rejected FOUR TIMES as containing a link of some kind.
The $1.99 Author is an informative and fun book for those who write books and people who think they might want to.
This book offers a pragmatic look at today’s publishing options for both budding and previously published authors. Almost every conceivable publishing path is touched upon with the pros and cons of each laid bare. This book is free of sugar-coated empty promises of success. Instead, readers will be made to understand there is a ladder awaiting them, and The 1.99 Author shows us how to climb it safely without going broke, without getting taken, and without too many heartbreaks.

The $1.99 Author Is Available to ARC Reviewers Now!
Book reviewers, bloggers, and librarians are invited to grab an advance reader copy of The $1.99 Author anytime in the month of November, 2021.
Just e-mail eabarkerauthor@gmail.com to request your ARC, and don't forget to mention the type of file your e-reader works with. (E-pub or Mobi?)
E. A. suggested the category: Humorous Tragedy, but we are hoping librarians can do better.

BIG Update
My next book, The $1.99 Author, is a fun look at the crazy world of book publishing. I expect to have it finished next month with the D2D e-book out just in time for the gift-giving season. If you have authors or would-be authors on your list, this may be the most important gift they will receive . . . and it will only be $1.99. Shocker. LOL.
The You & I Erotic Tales Series is doing nicely, now that all the booksellers around the world finally have it indexed. Oddly, the physical books are outselling the e-books by a large margin---(There might be hope for the world after all.)---especially in the UK. You naughty "birds". :D :D :D
Having had my fill of anti-social media on facebook, and now twitter, I've set up shop on LinkedIn to find out if it truly is "Where authors go to die." :D :D :D Hopefully, we might connect there. If not, I'm also on allauthor, booklife, and my various sites.
Speaking of blogging. . . Shelby Kent-Stewart somehow managed to talk me into writing for her blog again. I don't know how she did it. I said no, and she kept talking until I agreed. It should be up soon, and there are always some giggles when we get together. Shelby Kent-Stewart
Well I think that's it. Happy Halloween. Hopefully I'll be back with release news before Thanksgiving in the US.
Be safe, but have fun.

What's a UBL?
Yeah, I'm always a little behind when it comes to tech.
I just created a Universal Book Link which shows a complete list of all the online retailers carrying my book. It's so cool. I wish they had them years ago.
https://books2read.com/MsCreant
There are a couple of new reviews here. Thank you so much to all the reviewers for making the effort.
I have just marked down both the paperback and hardcover globally in time for the holidays. The changes should begin to appear after the 29th of September 2019. While this is not great for me or bookstores, it's good news for book lovers and libraries.
Speaking of libraries, Ms. Creant is available for library specific e-books at at a crazy low price. Ask your librarian to download it for you.
May your words serve you well.

I am so far behind I may be first.
Hello Goodreads.
I popped in to catch you up on a number of changes.
My Ms. Creant website has a new domain where I talk about life and relationships in the blog at least once monthly.

Shelby Kent-Stewart corralled me to cowrite a snarky blog with her, and it is so much fun. Our banter on twitter is worth following.
