Amazon and Book Titles
An update on Amazon’s paperback rule change in regards to the word “books” in a title. I first published my Black Cat compilation book five years ago, in 2014, via CreateSpace (Amazon). The book’s official ISBN (ID number) has the title “Black Cat Volumes 1-31”. ISBNs are set in stone when a book is created.

ArtisticChecks Not Working
In December 2016 I ordered photo checks from ArtisticChecks.com, with my photo of Manchaug Falls. Somehow pens NEVER write consistently on these checks. They always skip and miss sections.

Authors and Counterfeit Books
Here’s an important article for all authors to read. It’s from the New York Times. Amazon holds a near-monopoly on book sales, but they do not “vet” incoming books in any way. They just trust that a book being posted is real. “The Sanford Guide to Antimicrobial Therapy” is a critical medical handbook. The company,

While they are building up their art or writing business, they’re required by Massachusetts law to have health coverage. Also, it’s
