Ah good. That worked.

Use your smartphone on the phone signal not the wifi and you can vote twice in one category.

I took the opportunity to increase Modified back up from 99p to £2.99 (it's an 86k word novel, not two pages of something someone nicked from Wikipedia.) It hasn't affected my sales either. I had none before, I have none now. (I'm so funny!)

(Don't get me started on the UK market.)

You may be able to vote for both Alex and Angel in the mystery category if you turn WiFi off on your phone and load the page there using the phone to vote for the other one.

However if you use your smartphone, switch off WiFi and load the page on your phone you get to vote again.

Glad I figured that out. Let me know if your numbers just went up Angel.

You can only vote for in person in each category. Alex and Angel are in the same one.

Typed up. Just editing to go.

Mine:

Wrap son's birthday presents
Make card
Write drafts of next week's Iridessian Haunts and Missing Remnants

All done.

Before Thursday

Type up, edit and submit Iridessian Haunts and Missing Remnants.
Organise and pack for annual work convention.

Good luck everyone.

Hi Cari. I took a plunge with Radish Fiction and am serialising two novels I'm currently writing simultaneously. Anything other than Amazon is tricky to market, but if you look through the threads you'll find places who will take non Amazon books and stories. Here's three that spring to mind immediately, just because I haven't mentioned the others just means my brain is rubbish!

I’ve also got into the habit of setting my document up to meet the standards of Smashwords with all their instructions. The formatting ebook starts with an instruction to throw that document through notebook or something ripping the formatting out. I’ve never had a book kicked back, but I think I’ll try somewhere else for variety next time.

When you check the document uploaded to KDP is what you see accurate? Mine has always looked ok. (No pictures in mine.) The paperbacks also look good (on the screen and the actual copy).

Briefly caught up. Next week’s episodes are scheduled and will release automatically. The episodes for the following week are partially written. I’d like to get them sorted before Thursday because I’m away for a work convention at the end of the week.

It's neater than displaying a whole heap of links for one book.

Tweeted and nicked your universal book link idea. That'll come in handy when I'm ready.

Got mine though? I know I sent it (my email service is not always reliable.)

OMG yes, Amazon, ibooks, kobo, nook, that other one I can't remember and in paperback. I want it to go very wide and I want to end up in one of Carole's gift bags at some point if possible.

Alex wrote: "Thanks, Amy. Good work on your two books, don't blame you for being tired, sounds like you need a bit of relaxation."

I've got sewing to do and a DVD to watch, I'm very much off duty.

Nice one Erica.

I wrote a chapter of Iridessian Haunts yesterday and a chapter of Missing Remnants today. They need typing up, editing, listening to and submitting before Wednesday. (I'm so very tired. I can't do any more today.)

Lol Brilliant, turning the person around was exactly what happened with mine. Excellent cover.

Reported the price thingy Alex. Well done sorting that out.

Well done Chrys, excellent result.

Huh. Thanks Erica. I think I prefer our prices. That’s unusual, a lot of things convert in favour of the $ rather than the £ at least that’s my experience from over here.

I’ll let you know Alex thanks. Generally I’m fine on the formatting. My copy of word is setup accordingly. I’d just rather not have to do 2 hours for Smashwords which as you say could do with an update.
