release date fail

Wisdom is not out yet. A reader emailed them, and Amazon told them that there's a problem with the content, and they're doing testing to correct it.


I don't know what that means, so I emailed Amazon, asking them what that meant and if there's anything I can do to speed up the process.


I have not heard back from them yet.


I haven't uploaded the book to Smashwords yet. I wanted to wait until after the book was up on Amazon, because I prefer when things are sold on Amazon, because I wanted to see if Wisdom could break into top 100 books on Kindle.


However, I'm not going to make people wait around forever since I said it would be out. But I am going to try to wait until Amazon emails me back before publishing at Smashwords.


With that in mind, I'll keep you apprised of the situation, but Wisdom will be made available by Tuesday at the very, very latest. It may only be available at Smashwords, but it will be for sale somewhere. I promise. (Unless Smashwords doesn't let me publish it either... then... I don't know what I'll do).


Here is the link for the Amazon page for Wisdom if you want to check out: Wisdom . I promise to let you know as soon as I know anything about it or if it goes up.


I've also decided that I'm never going to set release dates for anything. I'll set release months, and then I'll let you know when it's out, and it'll be a big fun surprise instead of frustrating waiting around.


Wisdom is out in paperback thru Lulu, and it's much more reasonably priced than the other books despite being longer because I didn't do the option to have it sold through Amazon. You can buy the paperback: here. In September, I'm making a switch to Createspace for my paperbacks that will make them much paper, so waiting might not be a bad idea.


Onto brighter news. Here's an interview I did with Alex from Tales of a Teenage Book Lover: here. He also hosted a twitter chat party on Sunday, and it was a lot of fun. I think we'll be doing more for future book releases.


Also, I did a guest post at Once Upon a Review about birthdays, and Khelsea is having a give away for a paperback of My Blood Approves and a t-shirt. So check that out: here.

Amanda Hocking It is up! Yay!

Thank you guys so much for being patient! I don't know why it happened, but I'm glad it's over. :)

Wisdom will be out in paperback in Sept, and it will probably be cheaper. (I'm thinking roughly $7.99 - $9.99.) Right now it's $11.99 through Lulu.
