Quick Update
Added 2024-05-20 12:41:50 +0000 UTCHi, so I'm in a bit of a tough situation right now. Amazon has deleted Book 2 and its 400 preorders for basically no reason. So if you were waiting for it and have seen it disappear, that's what happened. I've been battling with support etc, but in short, it's not looking good.
I'll try to keep writing to schedule, but I'm not in the best headspace right now... It makes it hard to focus on anything, honestly. I'll do my best, but yeah, if I miss a day or if chapters are late, this is why...

You should look into Ingram’s self publishing services (Ingram Spark). You have to buy a ISBN, but you’ll own it unlike with Amazon

2024-05-21 19:34:53 +0000 UTCI know I say "can't wait for the next chapter" alomst each chapter but, if you have stressful shit like this happens. I can wait for the chappie. Hope you get everything sorted as fast as amazonly- possible.

2024-05-20 16:02:37 +0000 UTCIt's not the first time I've heard of Amazon doing that to an author. Just keep on trucking man, you'll get it through. Btw the audiobook is fucking awesome!

2024-05-20 14:29:46 +0000 UTCWasn’t the first Book I see it happen. Worst, I have bought series and after some time the first few volumes can’t be found in the store anymore. A few weeks later they reappeared in the collection of again. But the funny part is Amazon says I don’t own the reapered ones… But I could still download the ones… Delete the old ones an bring it with a new one in the Data Base… because they don’t know how to fix it.

2024-05-20 14:29:19 +0000 UTCEach action should be preceded by a request to remove non-compliance. I don't understand why people allow Amazon's bandit methods. The fact that after signing the contract you are nothing but garbage to them is not normal behavior in the business world.

2024-05-20 14:14:38 +0000 UTCcheck the contract with Amazon for publishing only on Amazon. they may have voided the contract by removing your book.

2024-05-20 14:09:09 +0000 UTCDon't count on Amazon to respect your rights. They only respect their part of the rights. The only thing you can do is write an Amazon analogy in the body of the story and tell Sofia to stomp on the vile corporation.

2024-05-20 13:57:00 +0000 UTCTry and relax Amazon famous for this crap

2024-05-20 13:08:23 +0000 UTCGood luck! Stress is the mind killer, so try to treat yourself to something nice and relaxing. Life will deliver on stressful situations, so we gotta do what we can to stay sane. I'm terrible at it, myself, but I try. Good luck!

2024-05-20 12:52:38 +0000 UTCProbably either some weird bug or someone pressed a button they weren't supposed to. Hopefully there is a way to get it back

2024-05-20 12:51:19 +0000 UTCNo, that would have been better if it was just a report like this, honestly. This time it seems to be more of an internal fuckup on their part, but since they have a monopoly, they can screw over authors without taking any accountability for their errors. It might take a week or two to get sorted out, and the preorders are 100% gone forever...

2024-05-20 12:45:29 +0000 UTCIt's wild they can just unilaterally decide to do that.

2024-05-20 12:45:27 +0000 UTCTake however long you need to get your ducks in a row. Hope the problem gets resolved quickly. Might be some jackass pretending to be you has managed to get the book taken down with a false report.

2024-05-20 12:45:05 +0000 UTCWell… glad I’ve been too broke to think about adding the books to my purchase I suppose, but god damn, why do companies do this kind of thing so damn much, and they always get away with it too

2024-05-20 12:44:52 +0000 UTCIt's crazy that you're not even the first author I support that has had this happen to them. Or random people taking your already published book and republishing it under a different name, then amazon deleting the original because "you can't prove it's yours".

2024-05-20 12:44:33 +0000 UTCHope it works out! You are an awesome author!

2024-05-20 12:43:53 +0000 UTCThat’s some bullshit right there Amazon! Hope you can figure it all out! I also hope you start feeling better soon!
