YAY!! Thanks, Amy.

I had given up. It felt good to win.

I'm happy to say, Amazon restored my reviews. Thanks for all the support from this wonderful community. Have a great holiday!!

They will come, Alex. I'm sure they will pop in. It's a long slow slog.

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!! (HIGH FIVING- AND DO A HAPPY DANCE)

I'M SO HAPPY- BECAUSE THEY GOT IT RIGHT!!!!

Congrats Alex. I am so proud of you!!!!

Wishing you all a peaceful and happy holiday!!! Travel safe!

Congratulations. Faith!!

It will wait- Everything will wait for you. Stop setting such high standard. They are artificial. We put too much pressure on ourselves for perfection.

I like the dips and hollows. They make me reflect my directions.

An author friend of mine, Karl Drinkwater, received a similar email regarding violating Amazon TOS. It turns out the email was sent to the wr..."

Yes, I know- but they haven't restored my reviews. Walmart and Barns and Noble, here I come!!

lol. I missed you!!!!!!

So true, Erica. I have worked several jobs my entire life. It's all about time management and jettisoning the time suckers, things that waste moments that could be used for you, your family, your responsibilities, and writing.

With a to-do list. Check out the four-part article I'm writing on Medium.

Also look up Indie Author's Monthly Magazine. Lots of the authors from here have written about how they tackle those issues. You'll pick up some great tips and perhaps share some of your own.

Thanks, Dale. That was sweet.

Please add-

Write an article for Indie Author's Monthly, at least twice, and perhaps get on a show for increased visibility.


Did you know our readers, people who actually finish the articles are numbered in the thousands? I'm very proud of the staff and contributors of Indie Author's Monthly.

From little acorns...

We are sharing the moment, Amy. lol

Probably some new marketing plan. Who knows. I don't understand it either. The whole thing is dehumanizing and demoralizing.
I want to find ways to promote indies where we are not dependent on the whims of faceless corporations.

Nah. I don't do lawsuits. Hate 'em. I'm not mad at them so much as mad at myself for not expecting it. A door closed- we gotta find a new exit. A better one.

I'm still waiting for them to get back to me- but I think the problem here is that they've connected us all and my brand of author support doesn't jive with theirs.

Wow. Should we tell them they missed one? lol

It must be a glitch- it says on my personal page I have no reviews posted.

As far as the books I handle, they haven't grown in reviews for over a year. Despite having new reviews put up there, the next day five more are taken away. We get five steps ahead and then by the time they finish, we are ten steps backward.
